If you are looking for an inexpensive, functional and
valuable addition to your home, then learning how to build an outdoor grill
could be the perfect solution for you. With a little bit of research and
planning, learning how to build an outdoor grill is an easy weekend project for
the keen handyman.

When learning how to build an outdoor grill, you need to
start by gathering the materials you will need, including some bricks, a grill
grate and plates, and perhaps some concrete. 
Next, find the perfect spot for your outdoor grill, preferably one that
is level and is not close to flammable material.

The next step in learning how to build an outdoor grill
involves preparation of the area.  Clear the
area, and remove the top layer of grass, digging several inches into the
soil.  Pack the loose dirt down hard and
make sure the area is level, then begin to arrange the bricks as a layer around
the barbecue area.  Although the size of
this area will depend on the size of your plate, most experts on how to build
an outdoor grill suggest that a 3 foot square base, built up to a height of 3
foot, makes a very good start for your outdoor grill.

Building the firebox is the business end of the
barbecue.  Place the grate across the row
of bricks, then continue the brickwork above the grate, making sure that the
entire structure is stable.  Finally,
around 6 to 8 inches above the grate, place the barbecue plates or grill so it
fits well across the top of the bricks.

The next step is the most important: light a fire in the
firebox, grab some meat and start barbeque cooking!  Imagine the satisfaction you will have
outdoor grilling on your very own barbeque, that you have lovingly made from
scratch in your own backyard!

Now you are ready to barbecue!  In just a few minutes you have learned how to
build an outdoor grill, but the barbecue cooking experiences you have at this
grill can last for many years if you have built your project well.
