Do-it-yourself barbecue-smokehouse from gas cylinders (25 photos)

The season for country holidays is already open, and therefore if you do not have your own barbecue and smokehouse, then we suggest you find out how to make them from two old gas cylinders. A photo report with detailed explanations awaits you below.

The first step was to cut off the valves from the cylinders, which did not unscrew.

Then the cylinders were filled with water, which stood in them for a day.

The smokehouse grill consists of a smoke generator and the grill itself. The smoke generator is a cylinder cut into the shape of a 50-centimeter flask.

In the upper part of the flask, make a hole for blowing and a lid.

We do the same in the main cylinder.

Next, we take a corner and drill holes in it, it will serve as a grate for us.

In the grill itself we make cuts on one side and holes on the other side. This is necessary to install the skewers.

Air damper.

Next, the welder gets to work. He welds the hinges, corners and sawn-off lid into the smoke generator.

This is what a smoke generator looks like.

We prepare the grill for connection to the generator and exhaust pipe.

We join (the quality of welding in the photo leaves much to be desired, but the welder is not a professional at all).

Next we weld the arms and legs.

Now all that remains is to bring the grill into human form. To do this, we thoroughly clean it with an iron brush, smooth out the seams with a grinder, degrease it and cover it with heat-resistant paint.

This is what we get in the end. For smoking, coals are raised in a smoke generator, and a steel cup with wet wood chips is placed on them. The product is placed on the grill grate. The wood chip heats up and begins to smoke and smoke the product. Using dampers we regulate the process (intensity of smoldering, amount of smoke, etc.).
