A Guide To Getting A Custom BBQ Pits

By Gary Mitchell


It is fair to say that it is great to have a BBQ with your family and friends on a beautiful sunny day. Custom bbq pits will help you to enjoy lovely food with the your family and friends. Creating a home bbq pit is a large landscape project which can challenge many people when they decide to try and do it themselves. It is however possible to do it when you have the right tools and materials and of course the knowledge.

The tools that you will require to be able to do the job correctly would be gravel. A shovel, water, morter mix, hand lamp, cinder braces, grill top, trowel, bricks and metal braces. All of these items are very easy to get if you do not already have them as they will all be available from the local home improvements or hardware store.

The first job that you need to do is to decide where you want to create the pit and it should be somewhere that will allow you to maximise the use of it. It is not a good idea to put it too close the house because you will want to avoid having smoke going into the house when you are having a BBQ. If the smoke goes into the house then you will soon find that everything is smelling like a BBQ, which lets face it nobody really wants.

Another aspect that is very important is what size you are going to make it as you do not want to make it too big as this will mean that you will have not space in the garden for relaxing. You will need to get a happy medium between it being too small and it being too big so try to think about it practically and get an image of how it is going to look. Make sure that you get it correct from the start as you will not want to move it once you have started.

Once you have completed all of the planning then the you will need to next decide which shape you want it to be. You can have a BBQ pit which is ether square or rectangular.

The shape that you opt for will really be a case of personal preference and what would work best for your needs. You will need to dig into the ground for at least eight inches and about fifty inches around the perimeter. Clear the area and measure it correctly and then level off the surface.

The next task which you will have to do is to spread the gravel until it is about two inches thick and cover it with one layer of mortar on top of the gravel so it extends to a few inches from the edge. Use the trowel to place the combined water and mortar in the pit.

Then smooth up the area whilst the mortar is actually still wet. Continue to do this process until the pit is at the height where you require it to be for using.
