In this video I show how to build a brick BBQ as a complete beginner.

This is a full DIY brick BBQ build from start to finish, showing the real process of building a brick barbecue with no bricklaying experience. I’m not a bricklayer and had never laid bricks before this project, so this is a realistic beginner bricklaying project rather than a professional bricklaying tutorial.

I built this brick BBQ on a sandstone patio that falls in both directions, so the first course was the most important part of the whole build. I show how I set out the brick barbecue, marked the layout, found the high and low points, used 10mm packers as a mortar reference, and got the first course level before building up the rest of the BBQ.

For the first course I used a sharp sand and cement mix because the mortar bed was larger than normal, and I used an SBR slurry to help bond the mortar to the sandstone slabs. For the rest of the brickwork I used a 4:1 building sand and cement mortar mix with plasticiser.

The brick BBQ uses a barbecue hardware kit with a charcoal tray and grill. This kit gave me the grill, charcoal tray and basic hardware, then I built the brickwork around it with two side worktop areas, drainage gaps at the bottom, brick ties for the inner sections, turned bricks to support the charcoal tray and grill, and slate paving slabs for the side work surfaces and top caps.

This video covers:

* How to build a brick BBQ
* DIY brick BBQ layout
* Brick BBQ for beginners
* Beginner bricklaying tips
* Laying the first course level
* Building a brick barbecue on a patio
* Using SBR slurry under mortar
* Mixing mortar for bricklaying
* Adding drainage gaps to a brick BBQ
* Supporting the charcoal tray and BBQ grill
* Adding slab worktops to a brick barbecue

This is not how a professional bricklayer would build a BBQ, but it does show what a complete beginner can achieve with patience, bricks, mortar, a level, and a BBQ kit.

The total cost was around £200 for the bricks, mortar materials and BBQ kit, which I think is pretty good for a permanent garden brick BBQ.

If you’re thinking about building your own brick BBQ, hopefully this video gives you a realistic idea of the process, the problems you might run into, and the end result you can get as a beginner.
