Building a Concrete Block BBQ / Cinder Block BBQ Grill - Da P.A Vlog
Вставка
- Опубліковано 8 лип 2019
- My friends and I decided to build a dry stack concrete block bbq grill. This is an easy project that initially took us 30 minutes to build. This was done fast because it has no mortar just dry stack cinder blocks. Eventually I would improve the performance of the barbecue grill by utilizing convection and conducting heat. I have cooked lots of things on this bbq grill and it works perfectly with no issues. It's outperforming my gas grill with better tasting meat due to the wood burning. Once you get the wood fire going its easy to manage the cooking temperature. This is a great backyard addition to a gas grill and is a hit at BBQ parties.

Thank you for watching my video, if you liked it please subscribe for more videos. This concrete block BBQ has been working great with no issues. Right now I'm using the camp chef lumberjack grill, amzn.to/3fpf9WX for the cooking top but will eventually switch to expanded metal, amzn.to/30ob6Cr. Although the lumberjack camp grill grate is awesome for grilling while camping. This concrete block bbq makes a great smoker as well, I use an alluminum pan, amzn.to/2LJy1UT, to trap in the smoke and tbis method works great.

Love your video of this grill. I well be building this grill this weekend. I’m really grateful I found this instructional video. Nice to see good friends having such great time together. Thank you for posting such a great video. Your friend from New Jersey.
Thanks my friend, love your comment and good luck
Hi! Built today, came out beautifully! Added red brick as a base bcuz of the heat retention, Thank you for the video! Absolutely loved it! Had grilled Bbq chicken, Angus burgers, Hawai'ian Sweet bread & mom's Potato Salad recipe, amazing 👏 n Bravo, Winslow, AZ
Great to hear you are enjoying this grill. Thank you for sharing your experience, I really enjoyed reading your comment.
great idea and i love how it looks and wood storage under it is awesome !!
Thank you, check out my channel for an up coming easy to do pizza oven
I was looking for an easy concrete brick grill tutorial, and i found you... ¡thanks for this vídeo!
Thank you
Creative, easy, inexpensive and durable! Great idea! Thanks!
Exactly!! Thanks for the comment subscribe for more videos
Omg Tony was so funny he just came with his cup of coffee and start talking it makes the video look so original ❤
LOL Thats how I wanted to make it, we just had a plan do build it and hangout.
Excellent build, great height and very simple, this is what I imagined it to look like in my head and I’m glad to see that it works. Subscribed 👍🏽
5hank you, been using it successfully for over 2 years. If you check out my channel I show what I did to improve it. I actually went up on the height by one block.
So Cool Man!!! And if something breaks it's easy and cheap to fix, just buy another block. Much better than what I've been doing and buying new grills every 2 years. Thanks for the vid and idea :)
indeed and much better tasting food. This is a great addition to the backyard!
So this weekend we have a party...tqs for an idea...great work dude
good luck!
Great idea! I'm going to do one. Thank you!
Thanks for the video, Great idea!
Simple and cheap. I’m building this one on my land. Thanks
go for it, its a great addition and useful
Love that it’s not permanent. Ty for sharing.
Exactly, thanks for your comment
i like it very much. i was looking something like this. thank u
Thank you. Good luck on your project
Looks really good!
What the he’ll did the yapper not know you was recording !! 😂as some would say “ Get the hell out of here “💪🏼
GR8 JOB awesome and helpful vid Food also looks Delicious
Thanks you, it was
Awesome! I'm going to build this but add some decorative stones to make it look as good as it works! Thx guys!! This is just what a carnivore like me is looking for!
Good luck, post a picture when done. Also consider subscribing for more videos.
Wow ...excelente idea,era lo k tanto andaba buscando,algo fácil d hacer y muy barato,ahora mismo voy a buscar los materiales y lo intentaré hacer,gracias amigo x Compartir...y a tus panas k no estorben k se hagan a un lado...jaja
gracias mano Y buena suerte con el tuyo. Mi pana of hace nada ni isiquiera se hega para el lado lol. Gracias por el comentario pa.
When I was a child my Dad used to take an old refrigerator metal shelf and voila a bbq made of anything that could be placed on sides, like rocks, bricks, or blocks. At my home i loved my bbq it was made of bricks and cement, then added a pulling to bring in or out the meat from the heat. I love bbq nothing like simple food made outside no fancy restaurant needed !!! Do be careful cooking with treated wood it has carcinogens so keep trees natural
thanks for your comment
I like design but I would add 1 level up from fire. So it won't burn to closely to the food. Thank you for sharing.
its a give an take too close you burn the food, up more and it doesn't cook as fast. I think where the grill is located is the best option. Thanks for the comment.
Thank you! Easy to follow for people new to grilling! What are the dimensions?
Three full grown ups and they come up with that!!!!
Merci très très bonne idée et très simple à faire
Merci
Man hearing your accent got me missing NY bad. Thanks for teaching us all.
;)
I’m making this soon. Thanks for the vid, man.
Good luck
Awesome Job
Thank you Sylvia for watching and your comment.
Awesome job amazing
Great job guys!! Thumbs up :)
Thank you
Great fun vid
thanks!
So Portuguese, I love it 😂 viva 🇵🇹
Viva PT
US? It took you 30 minutes. You Rock. Tony stayed in the way of the camera like it was second back being on display to be built. LOL. But that was a great video giving simple instructions. That food came out good.Thanks.
Thanks for the great comment, I do display the plans at the end. Check out my channel to see us cooking food on it
The building of the grill was amazing 👌 except for the guy blocking the video was disturbing.
epic idea
Check out the community tab on my youtube channel to see some cinder block bbq replicas inspired by this video. If this video has inspired you to build this BBQ, I would love to hear from you and see pictures. Leave a comment below and send me some pictures that I can post on the community tab.
Good idea
It IS super!!!
Thank you
Thank you for sharing, good idea & work,
I think I would have taken the legs out so the coals would be even. Have a good
day.
Yup took the legs out, stay tuned for next video

Built this during the weekend. Worked perfectly. Thank you for this video.
From Mauritius
Awesome, if you want to share pics on Twitter @dap2009. I hope you enjoy it.
Good job
looks good except for one thing. I have a slab outside of my kitchen where I cook. I put some charcoal on that slab one time to get it ready for the grill, it got so hot it blew up and busted a small chunk of concrete out of my patio, those blocks your using for a fire grate are concrete, would it not do the same thing.
I have gotten this fire to 1000f with no issues. This is dry stacked so no mortar which probably helps with heat expansion. Also the slap is elevated no directly on the patio floor. Never had an issue.
Check out my channel for the updates I did on this grill and thanks for your comment
I know this is a couple of years old, so your comments may be off by now, but just wanted to say, Brilliant!!!
Still working great, I use it in the summer. Thanks for the comment.
Excellent video
Thank you
EXCELLENT!!!
Glad you enjoyed it, please consider subscribing for more videos. Thanks for leaving a comment.
This is the best design for a diy grill I've seen so far. My only suggestion would be to use grill mats. This is awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the comment and suggestion, stay tuned for more videos.
Good idea and great work. On my channel i made a bbq grill similar to the one you bought!
Tip for next time do a scaled down model first then you won't be short on material, also drill a few small holes in the bottom of the flat pavers for air flow.it well generally increase heat. and grease build up well decrease , but it's cool good idea
So you recommend making some holes on the flat pavers where the wood goes? That might increase heat but below the flat pavers I store the wood and don't want ash and water to go through. I love the ideas though and I'm open to suggestions so we all learn something. Right now it gets hot and cooks fast because of the convection heat as well as radiant but I'm always open to suggestions. BTW I mock at least on paper would of been hood but it was in my head so I ended up needing material and changing things.
Me gusta , muchas gracias saludos slp
Thanks, muchas gracias
I only see one guy really working!! the rest is for company
I just built a tiny house and have center blocks and wanted to do something. I’m so doing this
Works great
Everybody has a friend like tony
Lol indeed
Love your BBQ. I'm going to build this next week. Any advice on how to improve anything. Thank you in advance
Make it a little taller then I did, stack one more layer of cinder blocks for the base.
nick giassakis will the cement base withstand the heat and not crack? Also if you can think of a way to raise and lower the grill that would be awesome.
I use a few 1/4”-3/8” x 5 or 6” bolts sticking out under 2 or 3 layers of blocks to lay the grates onto. That way I can raise or lower the grates if I need to 😀
Nice getto grill!
Why thank you
Hello thanks for this idea! Can charcoal be used will it tolerate the heat from charcoals?
Yes it can, I have used. Combination of our a charcoal as well
Quick question. Your link for the lumberjack grill from Amazon is the 36in , and your video states 24in ? Please explain. Because I just ordered the 36in.
Good catch, I am is g the 24 inch not the 36 inch. I have updated the link, sorry for the confusion. You can return to Amazon with no issue. Thanks for catching this.
No worries, found the right size at my local dicks store 🙏 , I was thinking of using the 36in one on top like you did in one of your man q video. What are your thoughts
Bigger is always better (my wife says😵😜)
Tony and other dude: Hey, what are doing?
Grill guy: making a you tube video on how to make grill.
Tony: Cool! Me and my boy will just stand in front of the camera!
Nice job!
My first thought! Dude, uncross your arms and then he picks up a brick and says, "act like I'm doing something!". Made me think of the "Little Red Hen." Hope they're not waiting on their "reward burgers!"
éste si me gusto lo haré para mi casa ahora mismo lo necesito mucho estoy en pueblo quieto
Es muy facil de hacerlo. Good luck
👍 Bad Azzz, just needed a couple of tweaks. 👊✌
Indeed, i adjusted and it came out great. The food on that thing is just great. Thank you for watching and leaving a comment. Also check out my channel the bbq party we did using that grill
@@daP.A Thanks Bro
*Hey bro good job man.....*
Thank you, subscribe to see more videos. I will be doing a dry stack cinder block pizza oven soon.
@@daP.A Are you going to be removing the middle blocks to make space for wood?
I need it for support so I can't remove it. It kind of like having it like that. If my tops were bigger I could of gotten away without the side blocks. When i made this I need the middle blocks for support. This is done with no mortar so the more support the better. Stay tuned for another dry stack cinder block pizza oven project.
I want to do something like this for my back yard, but everyone says "Concrete can explode from the heat!" What's been your experience so far? I don't know a lot about this kind of stuff.
Unless the cinder block is sitting on the surface of the sun there's no issue but using this for two years with temps over 1k no issues.
@@daP.A Works for me, thanks for the advice.
Thanks .
Are cinder blocks fire resistant cement ?
I have used it very often with no issues at high heat, very high
Hey Tony!!!
Do something!!!
What kind of wood is that and why not chocoal?
Oak, cider, pine. Didn't have charcoal at the time. That was pretty much the 1st fire
every neighbor needs a Tony.
Lol
@@daP.A Your grill was great. i have a neighbor just like tony.
COMO SIEMPRE UNO TRABAJANDO Y DOS MIRANDO
Lol, ya tu sabes
Yo rellene los bloques de arriba de arena asi guarda mas lo caliente y me a funcionado
Verdad pero para limpiar as mas dificil
👍👏👏❤
How do look for that grill in amazon . What do you call it ?
Theres a link to amazon in tbe description. It's basucally a camping grill.
great video , would you put concrete to make it permanent? would it benefit the grill?
I wanted something i could easily remove. Use refractory mortar if you want to make it permanent and dress it up. thanks for your comment and subscribe for more.
Replace the flat stones with thick steel and you won't have to replace the stones when they crack from the fire. Nice idea for a grill though.
Using it for 2 year's now, no cracks with some very hot temps. Thanks for the comment.
Very functional design. Have you tried storing wood beteween the bricks at the bottom?
Sorry, of course you had. Didnt realize it until I paid attention to the graphic.
@@Jb-sc6fl yup, that's what it was for, although it started out as more of a design element. thanks for you comment, subscribe for more videos!!
Amigo la carne asada queda mejor cuando es a las brasas no fuego directo volteando cada 5 minutos la parrilla improvisada esta buena pero no para dejarla definitiva. Saludos.
Gracias, lo se pero en el video es la primera vez q lo hizo y estaba con presura, gracias
You have to cook the steaks on the ambers,not when the flame is still up, slow but better.
Correct, I was testing it and being impatient but you are right 👍
I suggest you take the top layer and flip it so all of the holes exposed to air on the other three sides you should get a much better burn that way
Bad ass
Thank you, I hope you try it.
You Do know that not all types of wood are good for cooking. Is that a piece of pallet wood in there? I like the height of this design. Not like the others where u have to bend down.👍
Use hardwood, I used what I had for this initial test only. You can use charcoal also.
I just found your video and I liked it. The only comment I have is that you should have taken the legs off the grill portion of your cooker. It was attached by bolts, and you didn't use them. You simply needed to span the distance. Thanks. It was every entertaining.
yes i did that when i updated it, i removed the legs, much better cleaner look. You can see the updates in this video, ua-cam.com/video/VcmboHODJz0/v-deo.html - Thanks for your comment.
@@daP.A Thank you for answering me Most wouldn't. thanks again.
👍👍👏🇧🇷
How many bricks?
çok güzel ve sade olmuş bende sizi örnek alıp aynısını bahçeme yapmak istiyorum
Go for it, easy to do and practical
Would it be OK to use charcoal instead of wood? What an amazing video. Will be using your schematics :)
Absolutely you can use charcoal. I use it from time to time. Thanks for the great comment. Check out my channel for more videos.
using 2x4 good way to get sick
Untreated 2×4 that I had left over, i cooked on coals so I doubt a few piece of untreated 2x4 makes a difference. Thanks for watching and leaving a comment.
If only those two would stay out the way of the camera. Specially the one in the shorts. But you did a great job
Lol thanks
it is preferable to do it like this, the metal ones don't last long
There's a need for both but this is something tgstvwill last and it's a great additional to your bbq game
WHERE'S YOUR LOCATION IN EUROPA..?
I'm in the USA
Isn’t expanded metal galvanized? Can’t be good for grilling
@@talalztube no, expanded metal can be safely used for grilling
Take the legs off only a couple of bolts it would look better if they weren't on.. js check it out
I did, see updated video
Will do
What size is the grate??
Look at description for link
Me gustó mucho tu idea, mi parrilla (heredada de mis abuelos) está q se cae y esté es un modelo q puedo improvisar gracias x esa idea. Ahora tus amigos ahi, a ninguno se le ocurre llevar una picadita, un fernecito o vinito para refrescar?? Al asador hay q atenderlo, ql fin y al cabo se banca el calor y el humo, busca asados argentinos es toda una ceremonia el armar el fueguito, q te lleven un mate algo, na ni una montaña con las ramas pudieron hacer tus amigos 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤣🤣🤣, es chiste pero insisto, al asador (la persona q hace el asado) tiene q ser atendido con algo mientras cocina, saludos y abrazos desde Argentina 😄😄
P. D.: videos buenos de asados el canal "locos por el asado" ahi hay mucha información y son entretenidos
Muchas gracias, mi encanto tu comentario. Chequea el video con mis amigos, ua-cam.com/channels/bFJE5uiMQTGcxP6GrHjX-Q.html
Enclose the top and you have an oven...
El bloke parte c el calor del fuego donde se hace se debe poner ladrillo.además sin cemento q pegue los blokes de abajo.esa estructura es inestable y se viene abajo al menor movimiento.
Eso no es verdade, el bloke no parte con calor. Todavia tengo el bbq casi 3 anos sin pop problema. Tanbien sin cemento es mejor porque ajuda el bloke expendir mas y no parte
Creative but who wants to look out of there back window and see that?
But I guess if you need a bbq for cheap or live at a frat house it's a cool idea.
It's in the backyard and it looks great for an easy to do grill that can be taken down. This can easy be converted to a permanent grill with mortar and decorative tile or stones to make more appealing. Also the taste of the food you get it's completely different than an expensive stainless steel grill. The smell of wood and open fire at to the experience and taste. The experience of cooking on this grill and the taste its 1000 times better than my expensive grill. I have this in the back of my yard back, way in the back where u can go relax and get the fire ready and enjoy. This is also something anyone can put together in their house if they can't afford an expensive grill or have a cheap grill that lasts one summer. This will outlast any grill and the food is better. This is also most people around the world grill. Thank you for your comment.
@@daP.A I would definitely like to try some food from there.wasnt thinking of that. I'm a Mason by trade so it's an easy fix for me but I understand most ppl can throw this up.and for that it's cool.do or thing man.best of luck
I like this option for a grill. About how much did it cost to get all the bricks and pavers?
Well I don't live in a frat house and I have something very similar. As to looking out the window and seeing this grill, I just throw a cover over it.
Can you use charcoal
100% absolutely or a combination of wood and charcoal
4 years later the cinder blocks alone are coming out to $50 not including the grate plus the flat rectangular stones... today this grill costs as much as a real pit with wheels already assembled. what's the point?
You realize that grills have gone up substantially right? I would love to see you break down the price on this cinder block grill vs a real decent grill.
@@daP.A I didn't say a decent grill, but Walmart has cheap little grills for way less like $40 I can be cooking outdoors and if that's too expensive they have a small portable one for $25. When u made the video I'm sure it was one of the most economic ways to get yourself grillin food but Bidenomics fucked up EVERYTHING.
E pa !
cuantos bloques amigo
como 20
Did you use concrete
Dry stacked, just blocks
I think the fire is too close to the food and it needs a top I apologize for my input
I was too close. I was eager to try it. Check out my channel for other videos using this grill, the food comes out great
