You can buy them from Argos, B&Q places like that, for about £20

I need to make this at patio level. Our patio is 40" off the ground.
What could I use for a base to raise it the 40" without having to brick it all the way?
Thanks and great article.

How many bricks did you use please?
24/11/2011 at 15:29
How many bricks will I need?

I bought a 'Grill and Bake' kit in Argos last year bit it was quite a bit smaller than the surround and doesn't fit - so be careful!! I took delivery a 'Black Knight' kit last week (bought it on Ebay but have since discovered they have their own website but the URL escapes me at the moment) and it fits beautifully.......happy days! Just waiting for sunshine now!

Hi there, i am new to all this but would love to try making this in my garden. Just wondered where you get, or how you make the metal tie mentioned in part 4? ''metal tie'- into the mortar to join the inner wall to the longer wall''.

Is it really worth it?

In the version shown, without even getting into the required concrete footing, it has used approx 132 bricks, approx .2m cube of sand, a bag of cement, then adding the cost of the metal work, and the labour cost personal or otherwise to build it, you could easily buy several cheap BBQ's for cost of this one BBQ!


Another factor to consider, is that brick built BBQ's are invariably built in the wrong place, and with changes in wind and weather, become an expensive and very ugly garden feature.

Just one small point why is there a "Length of hosepipe" in the "You will need" list ?
Do you slip it into your trousers to impress the guests
