Mangal manufacturing process
A small gas cylinder with a size of 8 liters or more is suitable as a barbecue body. The valve and handles are removed. The container must be cleaned of paint, as it will melt when heated and give off an unpleasant odor.
The top cap of the cylinder is cut off. It needs to be cut around the edges so that it fits tightly into it. Also, holes are cut in it and in the bottom of the cylinder for a round pipe.
A window is cut in the pipe closer to one of the edges for a large profile pipe, which will allow air to leak into the combustion chamber of the barbecue.The previously cut and prepared cylinder cap is welded to its opposite end.
The pipe will be used as a barbecue leg, and the lid welded at the top will act as a false bottom. It is needed to raise the fuel briquette higher towards the cooking area.
Now the pipe is inserted into the cylinder with the false bottom inward, and a sole from the cap from another cylinder is welded onto its opposite edge. Then the barbecue body itself is welded to the leg so that the false bottom lifts it upward when installing the fuel briquette.
A section of profile pipe is welded into the ventilation window in the leg.
A cylinder of such diameter is twisted from sheet steel so that a fuel briquette fits into it. It needs to be welded into another lid or bottom of the cylinder, cutting a hole in it.
Now the last part is inserted into the grill body with the cylinder down, and its fungus will be used as a cooking bowl. The briquette itself will fall into the homemade pipe.
For convenience, the upper fungus can be edged by welding a ring from a bent pipe. An air damper is placed on the blower at the bottom.
You will need to make a collapsible crosspiece for the fuel briquette from sheet steel. It will serve as a grate for better air access. A large cross is also made to support the lattice.
After painting the parts with heat-resistant paint, the grill is ready for use.
If necessary, you can make regular grates for it so that it can work with coal or small briquettes.
