What You Should Know About Custom BBQ Pits

By Gary Mitchell


It is a great thing to be able to have a relaxing BBQ with family and close friends when the sun is out and it is nice and warm. Custom BBQ pits make it possible to have a BBQ area which is exactly what you want it to be. Creating one of these pits should be treated like doing a landscape project. These project can test the skills of even the more experienced home improvements people. Although it is a hard challenge to do it is something that is possible if you have the correct knowledge and equipment.

The tools which you will need to be able to correctly do the jobs will be gravel, a shovel, water, hand lamp, morter mix, grill top cinder braces, trowel, metal braces and bricks. All of these items are easy to obtain if you do not have them already as they can all be purchased from the local hardware store or home improvements store.

The first task that you need to do is to decide on the location for the pit. The pit should be located in an area that will allow it to used to its maximum potential. Avoid having the pit too close to the house or you could end up with everything smelling like a BBQ if smoke goes into the house. If the smoke goes into the house you will find that soon all the stuff in the house will smell like a BBQ, which really nobody will want regardless of how much they like bbqs.

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 done all of the planning work then the next thing that you need to do decide what shape you would actually like it to be. It is possible to have BBQ pits which are square or rectangular.

The shape that you want to get will really depend on the individual preference and what will work best for you. You will have to dig at least eight inches into the ground and approximately fifty inches round the perimeter. Clear the space and measure and then level the surface off.

Once the area is prepared you will need to put the gravel in the area so that it is about two inches thick and then put a layer of mortar on top about two inches in from the sides all the way around. Using the trowel put a combination of water and mortar into the pit area.

Then smooth the area over whilst the mortar is still wet. Continue to this process till the pit has reached the height that you require at for using. Once you have built your pit and got everything set up you can then relax and make the most of your creation.
