So I got a brickie/builder round to look at building me a big brick barbeque, but there are a few things he's uncertain of. Not sure if it's a bad sign or if it's just unusual to build these in the UK.
The first thing he was contemplating was what to use for the base/worktops. He suggested 600mm paving slabs, but would this withstand the heat as the fire would be made on top of it?
The second thing is, he doesn't know how to build the chimney so it tapers inwards towards the top. Tbh, I'm not sure how they do it without all the bricks caving in on itself.
Have a look at the picture. It will make things a lot clearer.
Any advice would be appreciated.
