Hoods for braziers: types, photos. How to make a hood for the barbecue yourself

Barbecue - an indispensable thing in a country house. Rest with cooking shish kebab is one of the most popular in our country. This is not only delicious, but also a whole ritual for men. So that the rain does not spoil the rest, the diligent host will provide a barbecue facility under a canopy or directly in the arbor. But there is another problem - smoke. To eliminate this difficulty without stretching for the braziers can not do.

Indications for use

There are two main types of mangal: stationary and portable. The first requires a solid construction. The second is most often presented in the form of a metal mobile device. If the use of the barbecue will be provided in a covered room, then smoke and smoke must be removed to maintain a comfortable environment in the recreation area. In this case, and installed a hood for barbecue in the gazebo.

Models can be sold as a bundle with certain types of basic equipment, or separately. It is necessary to consider more in detail the design features of these devices.

Classification

It is possible to divide extracts for braziers into several groups:

• By material of manufacture: metal and brickwork;
• By options: simple and with additional elements.

Such devices are sold and even made to order, but this can take quite a long time. Where as more pride will cause made with their own hands and brazier, and a hood to it. You should consider the main components and process of assembly of each species.

Device

The very design of the hood for the braziers does not have any complex knots and is:

• Umbrella for collecting smoke, burning, fat. Performed in the form of a dome, it can take the form of a parallelepiped or a truncated pyramid. These canopies can be with forged elements and be part of the interior design of the arbor. Such a brazier with an extract of a photo clearly demonstrates;
• A chimney designed to divert smoke.

As you can see, there is nothing complicated in such devices, but nevertheless there are a number of subtleties that you should know.

Device Features

First of all, it should be remembered that the dome of the extract for braziers should exceed the area of equipment, over which it will hang. This will ensure greater efficiency in collecting smoke.

The chimney must be tapered and bent. This will improve the drawing speed of the combustion products and prevent the possibility of reverse thrust. The upper part of the pipe should be from the ground at a height of not less than three meters. This will create good exhaust conditions.

If it is wrong to calculate the cross-section of the chimney, an inefficient system for removing combustion products can be obtained. Additional elements increase the efficiency of the exhaust design, but at the same time affect the price. There are a number of such elements:

• Spark arrester. It is installed on the top of the chimney. It is a metal sieve in the form of a pipe through which smoke freely leaves, and sparks are extinguished;
• Grease trap. It is a frame into which a replaceable cassette is inserted for the process of catching fat. When contamination either changes or is washed out depending on the model and the filtering agent itself;
• fan. This device increases the draft traction.

Apparently, the device itself is not a technically complex product. But it is important to take into account and correctly calculate the parameters of the required equipment.

Metal hood for barbecue

It is precisely such a plan of the device that has become most widespread for installation in a gazebo. Metal exhaust umbrellas can be purchased already in finished form, unlike brickwork. Some companies do even under the individual order. But if the standard models are not suitable, and the execution of the order is delayed by the time, the mangalet hood made with their own hands will be a simpler and quicker solution to the problem.

The work requires metal thickness of 2 mm. The length of the average smoke box is from 850 mm to 1500 mm, width from 650 mm to 900 mm. These dimensions depend on the dimensions of the brazier. Do not forget that the perimeter of the hood should be more than the equipment, over which the placement is planned. The pipe is made, as a rule, square section with parameters from 250 to 280 mm and length 2 - 3 m.

You must first draw a drawing or pick up suitable on the Internet. Uncover the metal, using a Bulgarian and a cutting wheel for metal. Next, weld seams and assembly. The hood for the barbecue in the gazebo is located in the center. Fastenings can be carried out on racks, and for insurance use chains in addition. To protect the pipe from rain, a visor should be provided.

Standard umbrellas are made of stainless steel, which significantly affects the price of equipment. The hoods can be made from any heat-resistant metal, but before operation it is necessary to make a coating with heat-resistant anticorrosive varnish, which will increase the service life of the product.

How to make a hood for barbecue from metal was considered, it is necessary to study the manufacture of structures made of bricks.

Features of brick hoods

This option requires certain knowledge. This type of hood is made for stationary brick braziers. The brick must be fireproof (fireclay). The solution is clay with sand, while the clay should be soaked for 2 days. The proportion of sand in the solution should not exceed 50%.

For the foundation of a brick hood, it is necessary to provide a frame on which the brick will be laid out. Treat it with refractory enamel, as it will be exposed to high temperatures. The frame is fastened to the brazier armature by welding.

Masonry brickwork

The first row is laid with jogging (push the shortest side of the brick), the rest is laid with a spoon (long side). The standard smoke box consists of 10 rows. And the masonry is conducted with narrowing. On the front, the row can be displaced by 17 mm to the level, along the end part 35 mm. Further laid out a square pipe (five more spoon rows). The upper part should be 260 * 260 mm. This configuration enhances the exhaust effect. It should also provide a gate valve, and on top - a visor from the rain.

After the erection of the structure is completed, the time for drying the masonry is given. Then the device is covered with a fireproof varnish in 3 layers. This will ensure longer operation of the equipment. Apparently, a brick hood for the barbecue, made by oneself, is a rather complicated process. It is better to trust professionals.

Advantages of self-made hoods

There are a number of advantages for both types of equipment:

• The installation by own hands will considerably reduce the price for extracts;
• Possibility to make according to individual size and in accordance with design requirements.

Metal hood for the barbecue in the room has a number of additional features:

• Light weight design;
• Possibility to set additional options;
• Easy installation;
• Mobility, if necessary, can be mounted elsewhere;
• Ease of care;
• low price.

For brick hoods, there is an undeniable advantage - durability, as well as the possibility of reconstruction. However, to transfer such a construction from place to place is unlikely to work.

Features of operation

If the equipment is not monitored, then the exhaust properties will decrease with time. Dirt and soot will start to fall on food, which is in the grill. Therefore, clean and flush the equipment periodically. The first indicator for cleaning is visual contamination and reduced traction. It is not in vain recommended to cover products with protective enamels and varnishes. This greatly facilitates the process of care for this design.

The question is often asked: "Why does the smoke at the time of ignition not escape through the hood?". This is based on the physical properties of the air. At the time of ignition, it is not yet so hot to rise up. When the temperature rises, this pull is normalized.

By equipping a country house and country house, you want to do a lot with your own hands. As you can see, the hoods for the barbecue can be fully mounted, as, actually, the brazier itself. It is only necessary to set a goal and decide which type of construction is preferable. And if the design thinking is still developed, the received designs will give odds to the products of many professional companies with extensive experience in erecting such devices, and will become a special object of pride for the guests.

So, we found out how to make a hood for the barbecue yourself.
