Brick Barbeque out of pavers?

[icowden]

Hi all,

I am intending to build a Barbeque in the garden and have loads of red paver bricks.

Anyone know whether mortar will hold these together well enough, or will they just collapse without having the standard brick hollow?

you could always drill a few shallow 10mm holes into them for grip..

They will hold the same as any other solid brick.

However, they are not sized the same as a house brick therefore when you try and half-bond any returns you will find that the bricks fall short by a standard joint or perp.

Plus with those spacer nibs will look ugly too.

They will be fine.

Thanks folks,

These bricks have no nibs as far as I can see, and are only slightly rounded, so that's not an issue. I was mainly concerned as to whether they would cement together properly in a wall without collapsing.
