I am new to BBQB. I am planning on building a BBQ out of house bricks. I have thousands of bricks laying around.
I've looked at http://www.ibiblio.org/lineback/bbq/wdh.htm
I don't like the idea of shoveling hot coals. I want to put a damper between the fire box and the main grill.
I think mine will be closer to this one.http://www.instructables.com/id/Brick-Barbeque/
I think I will raise the Main grill 3 or 4 bricks higher than the fire box. I was thinking fire box, then grill, then smoker. Also have exhaust in the grill and the smoker. I also am going to add a spit in the grill to do whole pigs and hogs. It seemed to me that he made his grill section way to deep for what he was doing.
He used a drum under the grill to hold the fire. I don't see an advantage to doing that vs a firebox. If the fire box has a damper wouldn't that make it easier to control the heat? Would either way have advantages? If my fire box is brick it would last forever.
I will draw some plans and get them posted. Any comments and or thoughts are appreciated.
