Different Ways of Building BBQ Pits

Posted by Elite Internet Technologies on December 7th, 2016

Constructing a barbeque pit can be simple or complicated, depending on your needs and ideas. If you love to organize barbecue parties in your home, it is recommended to have your own custom designed pit in your backyard.

The big difference with custom build BBQs is better layouts, and use of space. You can either build the pit yourself or hire professionals for the job. (If you are doing the job yourself, make sure to take all the safety precautions and check your installation to make sure it’s perfect.)

Building your own BBQ

1. Plan

When it comes to BBQ pits, planning is the secret to creating a truly personalized, fabulous home BBQ.

Choose a good location to build the barbecue pit with plenty of space for movement and handling food.

Decide what type of BBQ you want to build

Outline your plan – Define the location, the area, access, and visualize the BBQ exactly as you want it.

BBQ peripherals - Do you want built in cabinets, wood storage, gas storage, etc.? (They are very useful, and help keep the BBQ uncluttered.)

Fire safety – Ensure the BBQ is fire-safe and won’t spread a fire to the house.

2. Building a BBQ pit


Make sure you have all the required tools

Ensure that the pit base is at a consistent level with a spirit level

Ensure timber supports and/or brickwork are plumb and well-constructed with good quality concrete foundations.

Built in cabinets can be custom made to measure.

3. Building a custom barbecue pit

For building a permanent above ground barbeque pit, the steps involved are:

Layout a plan which you feel is right

Gather all your equipment and tool and everything else you require

Layout the foundation

Building up the bricks


The final steps involve attaching the metal braces for the grill

4. The easy way


Create a clear space in your preferred location.

Do your brickwork, cabinets, fuel storage, etc. to your taste and add readymade peripherals.

Add your fabulous new BBQ.

Eat like a horse and enjoy a fabulous meal.
