Main Measurements of Material Grills

Many times we tend to attribute the success of a barbecue to the skill of the grill, but we must not stop taking into account that material grid measurements They must be the right ones. How many versions of grills have you seen so far? You sure lost account already. That is why we will try to provide you with as much information as possible so that you can choose the one that best suits your style but that the general structure is consistent so as not to bring you problems in the future. Let's see…

Average Height of Brick Barbecues

To achieve a good grill design, the ideal is to prioritize comfort in post to achieve a good use of it. That is why after the compilation of our department of architects we agree that the average height of a grill is between 85cm and 90 cm. We could even say that it is common sense since the measurements of the kitchen counters are usually these. If your desire is to make it 100% personalized, the ideal is that the height is the closest to your waist. This is so you don't have to bend over too much to control what you're cooking. But if you have to do it with an average, the measurements that we provide are going very well.

Material Grids Width

All measurements are important, but for its functionality and correct use that of the mouth is critical. We find two conditions that we must think about before deciding the material grid measurements.

  1. The use that we are going to give it. Is it to make a family barbecue or hold large gatherings?
  2. The layout of the space. If we have little space to build the grill, it will not matter what use we want to give it. We will have to do the same in the space we have.

Focusing on the measurements of the width of our grill for family use with one between 1.20 meters and 1.30 meters will be more than enough. It may seem little to you but if you use the space well with these measures it should be more than enough. As for the grills designed to hold a meeting with friends or family parties, the ideal measurements would be from 1.70 meters. This will allow us to have a grill with a generous space and a corner for our fire

Spit Mouth Height

This is without a doubt the most debatable height among the material grid measurements. This is because each person has a favorite number and it always works for them. Today in Facades World We will tell you what the experts use and why they choose it. As we mentioned before, the width of the grill is conditioned by the space or the use of it. In this case, the mouth of the grill is conditioned by its proper functioning. The measurements we suggest are between 65 cm and 70 cm. Below we will detail why we suggest these measures.

  1. If you use inferior measures, it will force you to bend down too much to be able to maneuver what we are cooking.
  2. If we use a higher measure it is very likely that we will end up swallowing more smoke than roast. This occurs because when the smoke rises it must be quickly guided towards its path in the chimney, but if it does not find it, it will escape through the mouth of the grill.

Grill depth

In this measure it seems that we all agree and there is a maxim for all, the more depth the better, however, from Facades World te We suggest you use the one you want. The main function of the depth is to get everything you need in: brazier, grill and on room to maneuver. But if it is about measurements those that are between 80 cm and 90 cm will go very well. If you are looking for other dimensions, you should consider the following:

  1. Less than 70 cm you may not fit a small grill and you have little room to maneuver.
  2. More than 1.00 meters you must bear in mind that the ideal is to be able to reach the bottom of the grill by stretching your arm. Keep in mind this information, it is not necessary to have to get inside the grill with your body to reach something.

Grill location

If the construction of the grill is going to be on a border wall, it is essential to know what our neighbor has on the other side. We mention this to avoid future problems between neighbors. The ideal would be to build a 15 cm thick counter wall attached to the dividing wall. This, as long as the grill has contact with it. This is done to minimize problems caused by the heat from the fire. But if you want to further prevent this inconvenience you can add a 2 cm thick expanded polystyrene sheet. In this way we will reduce the margin of error in the event of possible problems.

Smoke hood - Function

The smoke hood is essential if we do not want to swallow more smoke than roast. But what is a fume hood? It is in charge of collecting the smoke and redirecting it towards the chimney. The more direct and natural this path is, the better the spit will be. The smoke hood rises from the lintel, which is the upper part of the mouth of the grill, to extend up to the chimney. The idea is that its design never obstructs the flow of gases so that the smoke does not escape through the mouth of the grill. Without a well designed fume hood when grilling we would swallow a lot of smoke.

Fume hood measurements

The inclination of the smoke chamber can be funnel-shaped (pyramidal), frontal (from the mouth to the bottom); or lateral (in the width of the spit). These are the three types of fume hood we could build. The fume hood should start at least 20 to 30 cm higher than the top of the grill mouth. This is because the first few inches will create a small chamber that will allow the smoke to collect until it finds its way up. With the help of the inclination of the fume hood it will be directed towards the chimney and from there to the outside.

Grill Lung: Measurements and Shape

The lung of a grill is not well known but it is an element that improves the operation of the draft. The effect it achieves is that the descending air that enters from the chimney bounces and is redirected upwards again. It is done on the bottom of the grill starting in the middle of the grill and ends a little higher than the mouth. The angle that we must give is between 30 ° and 45 ° directed diagonally up and in front of the grill.

Fireplaces for Grills

For those who do not know the subject, we clarify that the grill chimney is the conduit through which the smoke and combustion gases escape. For this we will see some of its main characteristics:

  • The materials most commonly used are brick and folded sheet metal.
  • Their ways they are usually square, rectangular or round. Regarding performance, we suggest the round ones, which are more effective since fluids tend to flow in a circular manner.
  • Completions they usually end with a cover that protects the chimney from the rain.
  • Its measures they have to be enough to be able to evacuate the smoke without problems. We suggest using 40 cm on each side if the chimney is square or 40 cm in diameter if it is circular.

Internal Lining

We already know the material grill measures what remains for us to know is the appropriate internal coating for it. The predominant materials are usually fire bricks and common bricks. The difference between the two is usually the cost involved in each and the ability to absorb heat. Refractory brick has the ability to refract heat into the grill but has the disadvantage that it is much more expensive making the choice of these materials out of our budget.
