how to design this
Ello all the brethren. I have found my dream grill or at least one of them.
http://www.grillery.com/khxc/index.p...r71y3zes4wmxw5 it is called the Inferno made by grill works. I would like to design a wood fired/charcoal grill. I have exp in autocad and solid modeling and would love some help in how to make a smaller less expensive edition that can cook for a small group. I would love to have a santa maria style grill in it. anyone have exp in designing something like this? I just need some ideas and tips of where to start. thanks

If you have Auto CAD, start with the back fire brick wall. There are nine sections and it looks like they used standard size fire bricks. Each firebrick is 9"x4.5"x1.5". That is a known size and you should be able to design form those measurements.
Edit: After looking at the firebox detail it looks like the brick are thicker than 1.5". If you want to save money while building, you could use the standard brick.

That grill looks smarter than me. And generally, I don't get along well with "things" that are smarter than me. People on the other hand, I do well with.

Look at some of the detail pictures in the larger format they offer on the site. The picture are completely different than the one shown.

Yes, the back is what makes this different from other Santa Maria style grills. The firebrick act as a heat sink and reflect heat back at what is being cooked. on the grill.

That's a swett lookin project.
I can't offer any tips about design, but I do have some experience with firebricks. It seems that the splits are more easily available (about 2" thick) but that isn't the one you are looking for I think. The full bricks are the size mentioned in above posts. Call around to local brickyards where you should be able to get them for about $1.50 or so. Fireplace stores will rip you off - one place wanted to charge me $7 per split! Also check at a few brickyards if you can. The quality varies, and there are differences in temperature ratings too I think. When I bought firebricks in Iowa, they were higher quality than the ones I bought in Houston. Good Luck!
