I've constructed a few simple cement grills, largely from the ideas of these CZcams videos. And it's super fun. Couple points of advice before you get started: a) don't improvise materials too much. If you don't have enough 'Styrofoam' just wait until you do, because it's perfect. Scraps of wood wrapped in 'cling wrap' also work well and release without a fuss. b) Pure cement flows well but doesn't offer a lot of strength with regard to heat cycles and resistance to cracking. So, insert steel reinforcing rod wherever and whenever possible. I like to use old wire clothes hangers, straightened out with a pair of pliers.... nipped/re-angled/fitted, especially around corners. c) Voids. Lifting and dropping short vertical distances helps get the bubbles out when trying to fill those low corners. Don't drop it too high though! Just a couple inches is good enough. Once its more than half poured, it may be too heavy for even a 'gentle drop' , for fear of splitting/distorting your form/mold. Just slap the sides of it, or perhaps apply the handle end of palm sander around the outside of the form to vibrate/compact any air bubbles. Do make sure to pour your mix there first, to find all the nooks. d) perhaps most important, let the whole thing cure at least 2 or 3 days before dismantling the form. Those lower corners, especially if you formed some 'legs or feet', these take the longest to set up and properly harden. There's nothing worse than going through the whole process only to become impatient and find that the feet either broke off or partially crumbled and need more point work or patching just to be functional, let only look pleasing. Also, I like to add some perlite to the mix to lower the density... these grills can get quite heavy if constructed purely of cement/sand/gravel. And, if you have't mixed cement in a while (or ever) its a good idea to make a small test batch of your 'mix' ahead of time, enough to pour into a large plastic drinking cup if nothing else, just to see how it cures, especially if adding sand/gravels/perlite, etc.
@@maurie0 The round (or even square) ones can be found online at an appliance parts dealer or someone who specializes in gas stove/range parts. I suppose technically they could be called a trivet but are generally referred to as a "grate" or burner grate.
this looks cool, although fire will destroy plain concrete quite quickly. While concrete isn't flammable itself, the heat from a fire will make it basically fall apart. That is why fireplaces use something called "firebrick." You can use additives to make it stand up to fire better, like silica.
@@privacy70 his comment is valid. It's well known fire or rather the heat will inevitably crack the concrete, there are as mentioned ways of avoiding this issue, various products range from fire rated cement, silica, fire bricks and fire blankets used in construction of Bombay pizza ovens all help to combat the expansion and contraction such a thing will have to go through. If your grandmother's is still going strong after years then it's likely to have been constructed using methods mentioned. Ordinary cement will not stand up to the heat generated...
I guess my question is "has any one ever seen what happens when you accidentally dry out and over heat concrete?" (cracks if your lucky, you hear it crack just moments before it violently explodes if your not.) So kind of concrete are you using? and maybe what are you sealing it with?
@@coolburn1511 Concrete was NOt used for the mold - didn’t you watch ? The fireplace was cast from concrete; using fireclay instead of Portland cement would prevent the cracking.
@nemz and the ceramic would explode causing the deaths of you ,your dog,and whatever woodland creature is unfortunate to be within the blast zone of flying ceramic shrapnel.
When the concrete is heated, the cement inside becomes dehydrated, losing some of its water as vapor. That water vapor begins moving away from the source of the heat, but becomes trapped inside the structure of the concrete. Hence when these explode they do from the inside out, which luckily saves your food but could leave you with a chunk embedded in your eye.
@@ZaibNMalik If you lived in the desert and could keep moisture off it then I'd say it should be ok, but then I'd like a chat about the fumes it releases. It's not a good material for fire or for cooking which is why we don't use it.
@Robin Sailo It makes no difference, It attracts moisture out of the air and even out of your skin. And if it's not 100% dry when you use it the moisture will explode.
O calor da fogueira vai trincar o corpo do forno, interessante e fazer um pouco maior para revestir interiormente com tijolo refratário, Mas parabéns pelo trabalho.
That's beautiful and really functional. I just wonder, where do you exhaust the smoke out? Will it be better if it has any exhaust hole to separate the smoke out from the stove? Thanks for enlightening me soon.
The smoke comes out of the top of each grill. The round one and the rectangluar one. This is an outdoor grill. Wood / charcoal below grill creates heat upward to cook item then exhausts up.
@@keithfreitas2983 you could probably wedge a round piece of foam on the side during making the wood stove, then when the concrete cures clean out the round piece and place a piece of metal duct tubing for an exhaust pipe

Where do you get the steel or cast iron trivets to hold the pots on the circular fire hole ... are they called trivets?

Usually I insert wire mesh inside bottom and side to strength it. J.J.

Really? How reliable will it make it?

Need vent holes to increase/ decrease airflow. Regular cement won't last long because of heat.

Thank you so much for sharing your video to us.
It is a smart ideas and your piece of work very impressive ! Watching you from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia.
It was amazing how you managed to get the grill lines on the hotdogs to go the opposite direction than the way you put them on the grill. 😂
The grill lines are not in the opposite direction, but rather they are in a perpendicular direction.
👍❤️
@@theleopard3310 What I hear you saying is, "Why yes,, I DID buy a "word of the day" toilet paper."
@@waskelweewabbit1453 No, they are not the same. "Opposite direction" is 180°, and perpendicular is 90°.

I like the over all design. But bigger with stone or fire brick would be better. Could double as a fire pit that way
Gostei do fogão.
Ficou top.
Mais foi a primeira vez que vi siri na brasa
A simple but yet very convenient little outdoor grill.... Never Rust...
Será que aguenta toda a temperatura sem tijolo reflatario
Gostei muito parabéns pela sua criatividade.
Top, vc é muito inteligente, vc é fera, tô indiguinada, parabéns, bom dia, vc é um herói.
This one not so good functionality but still looks good 👌
Façam igual o formato; mas com tijolos de barro..ficará ótimo...e não tem perigo de estourar
Eu também pensei nisso de fazer com tijolos de barro para que não para poc com a alta temperatura
good
Thank you, on to making my own.
Muy buena idea!.Gracias x compartir! Bendiciones!
great project! I would have put in more metal reinforcement (rebar) especially in the feet
your comment doesn't make sense, like I said I would put in more reinforcement
@@asiwasb4 ok youtube policeman perhaps you should focus on minding your own business - I can write a comment on anything I want - it's a free world
I love this I want to try to make this but dont have a clue where to start im not a handy girl lol
That’s exactly what I was thinking, and I’m a kinda handy girl, too many moving parts🥴
With a side grill cover it would be a great smoker too. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

I really enjoyed your video and work. Decorative and practical.
The only issue I have is where would I source the stylophone boxes.
Looks like a big styrofoam cooler that can be brought anywhere you would get beach or pool supplies
Large and small styrofoam coolers with a round bucket at deparment store which sells picnic suplies.
Cara , perfeito ❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

That’s a great-looking cooker, good to have a burner for a pot or tea kettle and one to grill on…good job!
thank you
Great. and neat, clean appearance. like stucco. Love it. Thank you.

Inovasi dan kreativitas
Excelente, maravilloso voy a hacer uno para mi
Parabéns lindo demais maravilhoso 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🇧🇷
Muito bom mesmo, vou fazer um prá mim
Mais um inscrito no canal,sou Brasil
Aduh bagus banget irit lagi
Good job
Im so exited i love this I’m going to make this.
Parabéns, lindo, lindo 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Looks great, but should wait for it to completely hydrate before fire in the unit it will crack
I like this....not sure i can follow all these steps
Nice great
Good idea ... can be used outside better to cook using firewood, food must taste better too and can grilled or barbecue the food in this way too
Very nice.
Would be so cool adding charcoal to o the rectangular part and cooking there too. Great idea. Wonder how much it weighs
Eu gostei estou precisando de um desse
