Going out for a picnic, outside the city is usually perceived as a trip "on shish kebabs." And that would qualitatively cook shish kebabs or barbecue, you need a good brazier. To make fire on the grass, in general, it gives a barbarous attitude to nature, the fireplaces do not overgrow for years. And it's unsafe, in a fire relationship. And the shish kebab also requires a strong even heat, which is difficult to obtain from bonfire, constantly blown by the wind. To drag along a whole brazier "assembled" - also no one will be, even if it is a trip by car. Exit - folding or folding brazier.

Available for sale are folding braziers. Or rather, teams, because not everyone will understand them after assembly and use. They are made of several steel plates, which are inserted into the legs of the bent corner. By itself, the brazier is not bad and cheap, but from the heat it strongly warps, the plate on the antennae strongly jams in the legs and disassemble such a brazier - a big problem. And if you do, you will not be able to reassemble exactly. But you get soaked with soot - from the heart.

But you can really make a folding brazier yourself, from the same sheet metal. We need only slightly change the design of the barbecue and then it will be assembled, or rather folded and folded in a matter of seconds. And he will not get his hands dirty, as all the internal smoked surfaces of the barbecue will be closed.

When folded, the brazier is a diplomat, 40 mm thick, equipped with a convenient carrying handle. Inside the grill is removed and grill for grill and skewers for shish kebab.

The bottom will experience the greatest temperature overload, since it will contain burning coals. Therefore, if you want the bottom to last a long time, it should be made of metal thicker than 2-3 mm., Or stainless steel. (By the way, if at all to make all folding brazier from a stainless steel, it will be simple "eternal").

Dimensions of the brazier depend on the used skewers 60 and 80 cm. For marching conditions, skewers are more suitable for 60cm, proceeding from this the width of the future brazier will be 40 cm and the length of 65 cm.

First of all, it is necessary to make the bottom of the brazier pos.1. The side walls of the base must be folded along the dashed line, pre-drilled holes d = 10mm in them. To access oxygen to the coals.

The side walls of the barbecue pos.2 have a size of 650x205. To large walls were able to fold, between the base and the walls are attached two furniture canopies poses 4 small sizes. Attach the canopies to the brazier using screws or electric welding rods.

Small walls pos.3 are removable and installed on the bottom with clamps. To do this, it is necessary to make cuts along the edges (as shown in the figure) and to bend the edges of the indicated lines with a dashed line.

From the bottom of the bottom we weld the M8 nut at the corners, which in turn will be screwed in the legs pos.5. As the legs are used round timber d = 8mm. And a length of 600 mm. On the one hand, thread M8 is cut to a distance of 10mm. And on the other hand, it is necessary to sharpen the legs and weld the lengths of the rod d = 8mm, L = 30mm. as it shown on the picture.

The pointed part of the legs serves for a more rigid fixation of the barbecue with the ground, and the segments welded on the edge are simultaneously an emphasis (so that the brazier does not go deeper into the ground under the influence of the loads), and after using the grip the handle-stop will allow you to easily unscrew the legs.

For easy transfer of the brazier in the folded state, the handle of pos. 6 is attached to the side of the base (it can be both homemade and a purchased metal handle).

To ensure that the brazier does not unfold itself spontaneously while carrying, one of the walls is equipped with a lock or a hook pos.7.

On the last it remains only to paint the brazier with a heat-resistant paint black. For these purposes, a heat-resistant spray paint in spray cans is used, which are used for painting exhaust pipes in cars. These paints can withstand temperatures of 600 degrees, while the paint will not burn.

By the way, shish kebabs and a grill begin to fry when the coals begin to "turn gray", i.e. Covered with a thin layer of ash. It slightly "shields" the excessive heat of coals.

Useful such a folding brazier is not only when going on a picnic and barbecue. It will be useful both for tourists and fishermen as a hearth - stoves. Heating on a fire or in such a barbecue of stones, it can be brought into the tent (naturally extinct). And such an improvised stove will give heat for many hours.
