FINALLY! The complete package. There are a lot of cinder block grill videos out here, but yours is one of the best. 1) You showed us the items we'll need to make the grill. 2) You showed how to construct it. 3) Then, the final product! I absolutely loved this video. Thank you for taking the time to map this out and share it with the rest of us. Beautifully done. 5 Stars and High Fives to both of you!!
I built one like this with one adjustment. The middle block in the back on the first level I layed on its side to create a vent for air flow to the fire. I use another flat block behind it that I can use to close the opening depending on my venting needs.
The most important of this build is (1) building a foundation to prevent fire-ground travel. (2) Reduce direct fire transfer to the cinder blocks by installing metal shielding plates. (3) Creat sufficient air flow in rear fire walls to control cooking temperature. (3) This build is against fire code in over 38 states. (4) Fire to ground contacts can initiate a large sink hole.
One suggestion would be to dig out the grass/sod and put down a large paver stone or patio stones on the bottom and level it. Not only would your cinder blocks be more level but I know in my state it's a law outdoor fire pits have to be contained on four sides, one of those sides being the bottom. Believe it or not the ground can catch on fire and travel.
The grill is great but even better is the way you and your wife are working together! God bless you and keep you safe in this pandemic. Thanks for the video it looks easy but you definitely need to be strong to do this one!
Hi Moe! You presented the most intelligent, easy to follow instructions, low cost "building a grill" video, compared to all the other videos! Oh MY GOODNESS, A SISTA!!!!!! I started writing this compliment before hearing her!!! Oh my goodness, this took it to another level to hear the imput of a woman, your wife!!! Plus you aren't intimidated by her knowledge!! You guys are THE BEST!!!!! I love this!!!
Yes, a little intimidated by her know how and her wits but it's intriguing and sexy. My wife always wants to push her knowledge on top of my head, but it's okay cuz I'm smart as well in some areas that she's not.
Excellent vid, thank you for sharing. I agree with some of the other comments - turn one block on each side so that the openings are parallel to the ground to create vents. It'll help with the heat and to get rid of smoke.
The metal is called angle iron. I used to sell it myself. To get it cheaper go to a steel supply shop near you and about hardware stores all together. But nice build
Really nice job. I can't wait to get home and build one. People that gave you 39 thumbs down probably went and bought a Char-Broil grill wasn't up for the work
The beauty of that dry stack is that nobody is going to steal it and you can move it and reconfigure anytime. It does need a floor in it. Half a dozen fire brick can do that.
That's awesome I'm going to buy everything I need tomorrow. I looked at a few plans for a backyard grill and really like your design. Thanks you gave me a weekend project. Great clear step by step instructions.
great stuff BUT a question. isn't the weight of the whole 'installation' going to sink into the floor since i haven't seen you make a foundation? i mean obviously it's not gonna sink all the way in but won't it start leaning to a side ? or am i missing the point completely and is the idea that you'll just take this away whenever you want and it's not meant to be permanent?
Very cool. I wish I would’ve kept all the bricks that came in a pile when I bought this place. I had 50 plus of them. I’ve been kicking myself lol. I still have a few left and some regular bricks that are used around fire places. In my case a wood stove. Gonna look for the grilling video. Thanks.
Now that's what's up! I was just talking with my cousin about how expensive that Barrel pits are and he well you can make it and it hit me. My grandpa had one made from masonry bricks but I ain't down with that cement crap so cinder blocks it is. But imma have a circle cut on one side to slide my Dutch oven into that bad boy! Nice video...
Use wood under to creat ur fire or can make a fire pit but iv heard about air flow at the bottom & blocks r pourest with air holes thruout blocks n when wet n start fire boiling heat xan actually cause block to explode but not 100%sure if thats a fact. Be safe!
I would just move the last layer of 3 full blocks down to the layer before that where you used the half blocks and the flat blocks will be enough weight for your top rack and you have a nice even flat top.
Congratulations! Yours is the best video to build me a grill! Even a beginner like me can follow these directions. Your idea of the double mesh, will that be strong enough for me to build the fire on the first, and cook on the second mesh? Thank you for sharing!
Looks good brotha, this is exactly what I was looking for. I can see a bunch of possibilities with the design but it's neat an easy. You should post a materials list in there
I'm not actually Savvy on the computer doing things of that nature, but I'm getting my kids to help me. So but thank you, but I'm going to look into that.
The only thing I say that was concerning that back part was not flushed and your cinderblocks moved on placement on the right. Other than that seemed cool to do. Great job!
sexyme320 direct fire on cinder blocks would crack and break. However you can put a piece of sheet metal down as a flooring so you could sweep the ashes out
@@bensenzo turning the metal mesh would not have mattered one bit. What you need to do is place one or two pieces of the same thickness as the angle iron front piece in the middle. He started out poorly because it was never level or close to it which will cause not only your bricks to be uneven and gapped in places, but it will ultimately affect the level of the cooking surface. Some folks will use flat sheet steel and season it for this type of build, bit with the mesh it doesn't all that much matter as long as it is not a huge difference in level. That will affect how your food cooks because of one side or part being closer to the fire or heat source than another.
i made a big one the bottom part i left one opening by not putting a block so air for the fire i added a metal plate to be a a bridge so that other blocks can go on top also i added the extra blocks like you had in the back so that all was same level and taller so that it would be closer to my height i added some blocks in the in side to make the fire to be higher the mesh grill part i had some one to welled it together i also added some flat bars to weld to make a frame around it so that it be stronger i also made a side grill and added 2 polls with flat bars welded on top thick and added holes with a hole saw i then put a pull through the holes a bike sprockets and a bike chain and a motor with speed controller so to have a rotisserie spin on it's own the speed controller is to control the speed of the motor to control the how fast the food will spin so the one i mad look like a fir pit BBQ with a rotisserie

Nice, you beat me to it I was going to suggest the same or on both bottom layer on the side do the same.
Send a picture of yours with the opening and flat biock
That's what I like backbone she on point lol.Mrs Moderator..love you guys
This is the same bbq video of the exact same design ive seen from 3 different folks and they are all great. This should be im everyones backyard. 👍👍

third row, is not locked properly. Id make it higher with a metal sheet base to put the charcoal on. Nice video and very detailed.
Behind every Good builder is an attentive Wife👀😁
I bet she made him a sandwich after the movie
Your wife is on point my brother,GOD BLESS

Great grill! Great team! The Mrs. did some great color commentaries and detail adding!
The metal is called angle iron. I used to sell it myself. To get it cheaper go to a steel supply shop near you and about hardware stores all together. But nice build
Is that where he is going to grill? Where will fire be? Or is going to place a grill on that?
Really nice job. I can't wait to get home and build one. People that gave you 39 thumbs down probably went and bought a Char-Broil grill wasn't up for the work
You and the misses work so well together ❤ . If my mom pointed something out my dad would flip.
That's what I'm talking about.. Explain step by step
Thank you SOO much ...
Wonderful
I liked this video. I loved how the couple worked together on it.
Thank you, clear easy directions. I'm excited to build this in my yard.
Thanks brother. You and the Mrs did and excellent job. God bless
Thank you so much. We appreciate you.
Love to see my people living like this 🙌 ❤

Greetings to Moe Garden....you guy's sound like New Yorkers! My home State!!!!
Great job.. the both of you. I got my weekend project mapped out now! Thank you for sharing.
👸🏽 Wifey know what she saying lmbo!! 🤣
That's awesome I'm going to buy everything I need tomorrow. I looked at a few plans for a backyard grill and really like your design. Thanks you gave me a weekend project. Great clear step by step instructions.
I would have made it 1 more higher. Less bending over
I would recommend digging it out a bit, leveling the ground, and throwing some gravel around blocks and under the fire area to prevent any fires.
Finally I appreciate you✊🏿💯
The best explanation. Thank you bro.
Finishes and then the wife says that it would be better if it was moved to the other side of the deck. :)
Grumpy OldMan 🤣😂🤣😂
😂
great stuff BUT a question. isn't the weight of the whole 'installation' going to sink into the floor since i haven't seen you make a foundation? i mean obviously it's not gonna sink all the way in but won't it start leaning to a side ? or am i missing the point completely and is the idea that you'll just take this away whenever you want and it's not meant to be permanent?
Good job brother!
great job first one i saw that gave material numbers
and great job moderator
Thanks so much for sharing
Very cool. I wish I would’ve kept all the bricks that came in a pile when I bought this place. I had 50 plus of them. I’ve been kicking myself lol. I still have a few left and some regular bricks that are used around fire places. In my case a wood stove. Gonna look for the grilling video. Thanks.
What did you do with them?
Great job !!!
Now that's what's up! I was just talking with my cousin about how expensive that Barrel pits are and he well you can make it and it hit me. My grandpa had one made from masonry bricks but I ain't down with that cement crap so cinder blocks it is. But imma have a circle cut on one side to slide my Dutch oven into that bad boy!
Nice video...
Yep old brick ones for grilling with rebar rods (no hardware mesh @ the time)and burning papers back when we were allowed to)
Lock washer uses nylock ( plastic to lock) it will melt out. . Bit like the frame work of the smoker.
Very interesting. Great video. Thanks!
Did it, had success on my first try! Thanks bro...good vid!
Got me an old cast iron sink. Will build this for an outdoor sink support but paint them and use the gray water for garden. Thanks!!!
Love this,! Saving it for when I have my own yard.
Thanks for sharing your time. The video helped in my pit build.
thanks clear instructions i'm really into this now
Thank you for posting. I just subscribed.
Thank you for your sharing and love peace and happy, the editor as well, bless both your hearts, great video, simple, down to earrh
You two did awesome....thank you!
Thank you so much.
Really enjoyed watching that! Keep safe.
Well done! Thank you.
I'll be working on my grill next week. Can't wait.
Love the BBG Grill
Nice Job. I like it probably will make one myself. I can just imagine cooking up some ribs on that!
Looks great
What's the distance from the front opening, I can see the tape measure but would like the measurements, great video
thank you so much for the help
That's So cool, I want to try and make one myself now!
Looking good Moe
Great job and your assistance
😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃
Awesome! I am going to make one
Thank so much! Nice!
Great tips 👌🏿
That’s awesome brother. Helped me a lot. Where did you buy the grill rack cooking surface ??
Awesome sir!
That looks great!
Thank you so much.
Great job
I'm #22 looking forward to more videos
Use wood under to creat ur fire or can make a fire pit but iv heard about air flow at the bottom & blocks r pourest with air holes thruout blocks n when wet n start fire boiling heat xan actually cause block to explode but not 100%sure if thats a fact. Be safe!
Great video
Muy buen equipo.
I’m building mine tomorrow. Gonna make a few adjustments.
Let us know your adjustments..ok
I would just move the last layer of 3 full blocks down to the layer before that where you used the half blocks and the flat blocks will be enough weight for your top rack and you have a nice even flat top.
Yezz ..that real smart..Im learning so much
Love your videos
I like this 💯💯💯💯
Do you have any problems with the mesh cooking surface rusting from rain?
Good work bro love it
God job sir GOD bless,
im your fan Moe :) greatings from Portugal!
Thank you so much....
Congratulations! Yours is the best video to build me a grill! Even a beginner like me can follow these directions. Your idea of the double mesh, will that be strong enough for me to build the fire on the first, and cook on the second mesh? Thank you for sharing!
Its was enough yes sir...
Great .video! Cant wait to do this.Do you get the mesh from home depot as well?
What do you cover to keep from rain putting it out ?
Great video. Can you make this pit a bit higher though? Seems low for a man to use without bending down.
Would think this would be perfect with some chairs tor bbqing
Y'all are great
Looks good Bro.But the third row only needed three whole blocks to keep the masonry look. Didn't really need the halves.Great job though!
Awesome
You mean 'stupid".
Looks good brotha, this is exactly what I was looking for. I can see a bunch of possibilities with the design but it's neat an easy. You should post a materials list in there
I'm not actually Savvy on the computer doing things of that nature, but I'm getting my kids to help me. So but thank you, but I'm going to look into that.
How do you light the fire underneath the grill?
The only thing I say that was concerning that back part was not flushed and your cinderblocks moved on placement on the right. Other than that seemed cool to do. Great job!
I think a set of blocks at the bottom should be put so you can sweep all the ashes and not leaving them on the grass.
sexyme320 direct fire on cinder blocks would crack and break. However you can put a piece of sheet metal down as a flooring so you could sweep the ashes out
Great idea Thank you so much.
@@Chopper-ct1wf good looking 😉
The common name for the angled piece of steel is "angle iron" (even though it is technically "steel" instead of just "iron").
Thank you so much.
I just want an invite to the next cookout!!!
I like your style. My concern though would be that the expanded metal would start to sag. Has that happened?
Yeah he should have turned the metal mash clockwise or anti clockwise so it would be pressed on both sides by the blocks
@@bensenzo turning the metal mesh would not have mattered one bit. What you need to do is place one or two pieces of the same thickness as the angle iron front piece in the middle. He started out poorly because it was never level or close to it which will cause not only your bricks to be uneven and gapped in places, but it will ultimately affect the level of the cooking surface.

Nice
Thanks
🤣she’s the best!!
What do you put the coals on ? The grass ?
Commentator said what she said... The best comeback on UA-cam. :-)
Looks good but your back side 3rd row is wrong that is why the top row and your caps line up and are not off set
i made a big one the bottom part i left one opening by not putting a block so air for the fire i added a metal plate to be a a bridge so that other blocks can go on top also i added the extra blocks like you had in the back so that all was same level and taller so that it would be closer to my height i added some blocks in the in side to make the fire to be higher the mesh grill part i had some one to welled it together i also added some flat bars to weld to make a frame around it so that it be stronger i also made a side grill and added 2 polls with flat bars welded on top thick and added holes with a hole saw i then put a pull through the holes a bike sprockets and a bike chain and a motor with speed controller so to have a rotisserie spin on it's own the speed controller is to control the speed of the motor to control the how fast the food will spin so the one i mad look like a fir pit BBQ with a rotisserie
Well aren't you the over achiever...🙄
What stops it from blowing over in a bad thunderstorm?
Damn cylinder blocks lol
What do you put the coals on?
What's the name of the steel mesh used for the grill top , trying to build this with the kids
