Tools

• Dremel with cut-off discs to cut the jar and wire rack. If you don’t have this useful tool, then a fine-toothed hacksaw
• Screwdriver and pliers
• Clamp to hold halves when calibrating and cutting
• Sandpaper

Step 1: Cut the can in half

Step 2: Join the halves and cut the excess

When cut in half, insert one half into the other. Choose an arbitrary length for the grill by moving the halves along the length. Since they are the same size, the inner half will be slightly higher than the outer. Align the halves on one side. On the other hand, the inner half rises above the outer. Now fasten the halves together. Drill four holes at an equal distance from the center and fasten the halves with short bolts.

Step 3: Attach the legs

Calculate and mark the four positions for the bolts (legs). This will help mark the lower center at each end. Then select an offset (e.g. 40 mm) on either side of the center. Feet should not be too close to each other, otherwise the grill will swing. Drill holes for the four long bolts and fasten them.

Step 4: Cut and attach the grate

Install the rack over the grille, which should slightly overlap the grille on all sides.

Step 5: Cut the grate

Cut off part of the left rack (for coals). This will ensure air circulation.

Step 8: Test

Load the briquette grill. Make a fire and you can fry something.

Tin box grill

This unit is equipped with standard-sized briquetted charcoal and can easily fry sausages or toast bread. It gets hot after catching fire, so be careful and keep a large glass of water on hand.

Step 1: Materials

• 1 tin box for sweets
• 4 38 mm wide-head sheet metal screws
• 8 nuts
• 70 mm metal protective casing of the computer (similar to the one shown in the photo)
• 92 mm metal computer fan (as pictured)
• Dremel with cutting blade
• Drill
• Scissors for metal
• Pliers
• Screwdriver
• Safety glasses and gloves

Step 2: Remove the bottom box

• Take a 70 mm fan as a template, drill 4 holes in the box.
• After that, using the Dremel and the cutting wheel, cut out the central part, leaving 2-3 mm around the holes that have been drilled.
• Remove enough metal so that the “tabs” with 4 holes can easily bend outward without changing the shape of the box.
• Then bend the tabs slightly by approximately 15 °.

Step 3: Upper grilles

• Using scissors and a large fan grill as a template, cut out 4 small slots in the frame. They must be thin so that they capture the upper grill, but not so much that the grill is difficult to pull out.
• Then install the grill and make sure it goes in and out well.

Step 4: Feet and lower grill

• A small grill will hold the briquette. It should be approximately 6 mm below the bottom of the grill.
• First you need to connect the legs. Insert all 4 screws into the holes and fix with a nut, but do not tighten yet.
• Then place the grill on the leg and loosely screw another nut about halfway.
• On the remaining legs, you need to screw the nuts about halfway, align them with the holes in the grill, and then push them in, securing the end with a second nut.
• Finally, tighten the top nut on all screws to secure the legs.

Step 5: Alignment

A second nut on each leg aligns the lower leg.Tighten all nuts until the lower grill aligns approximately 6mm from the bottom. All 4 legs should be at the same distance from the center so that the grill is firmly and does not stagger.

Step 6: Cap

Using metal scissors and pliers, make 4 cutouts in the lid so that it can fit above the box when the top grill is installed. In practice, you can use the lid as an ash tray.

Step 7: Done!

The grill is complete! To remove the upper rack, install the briquette on the lower rack, install the upper and remove the briquette from below. All you can use.

Pocket grill

Here, the pocket grill. Ideal for camping, mountaineering or hiking.

Below in the photo is everything you need.

From materials:

• Basically, 2 tubes will be needed, while one should go into the other. It is possible to use, as in this case, copper tubes of 18 mm and 15 mm. In principle, any metal is suitable, but copper is better, because: relatively light weight, does not bend much under the influence of fire, has thin walls.
• 2 copper caps suitable for larger pipe diameters.
• Spokes for a bicycle wheel with a diameter of 2 mm. Be sure to use stainless steel knitting needles.

Tip. If there is a bicycle repair shop nearby, ask for broken needles, most likely they will give it for free.

Dimensions:

This is quite simple, as you need to cut out all of one size (you get a rectangular grill). The more you make the grill, the more knitting needles, just make sure that the number of knitting needles you fit fits into a smaller diameter tube. The presented grill is 20 cm wide (about 25 needles 2.2 mm are placed inside a tube with a diameter of 15 mm).

1. Cut two tubes to an equal length and grind the rough edges.
2. When the pipes are cut, it is necessary to mark and drill holes for the needles.
3. Having decided on the number of knitting needles, just count the holes. The spokes should also be the same length with pointed ends.
4. You will also need 2 knitting needles about 5 to 10 mm longer.
5. Assemble the grill

To disassemble and pack the grill, simply unscrew the clips and it will fall apart. Packaging is also quite simple.

Campfire grill

One of the greatest pleasures is cooking over an open fire. The simplest dish is to fry meat and sausages. There are many ways to do this, but one of the most popular is simple campfire grill. This is not at all difficult to do. The grill consists of two panels, which are connected by a hinge. The meat is located on one panel, and then the other panel closes like a book, clamping the meat. This allows you to make any adjustments to the heat by simply turning or moving the entire grill, rather than every single piece of meat.
This, of course, is not an original invention, you can easily buy such a thing in a store. But this article is for those who prefer to do things, rather than buying them. And if the materials are also free, then this is even better. For the manufacture you do not need welding or other expensive equipment. Of course, this design can be adapted as you wish.

Step 1: What do you need

• The most important tool is a decent pair of pliers.
• Then you need to find two panels with the same size.
• Wire to tie construction.
• Heavy wire or rod for pens.

Step 2: Make pens

• Handles have two functions. Hold the meat in a clamped position and move to adjust the temperature.
• Ideally, the handle will have a length of at least 400 mm and a width of about 50 mm. Moreover, they are strong enough to rotate the grill with clamped meat.
• Bend the shaft as shown.
• Securely hold the handles. Look at the photo.

Step 3: Attach the handles to the panels and lock

• With loose wire rings at the edge, join together two panels opposite the handles. This creates a hinge that allows you to open and close the grill. Four rings will be enough.
• The lock is a simple wire loop that holds the handles together. With the grill in the closed position, wrap the handles with wire and twist the ends together. Cut excess.
• Make sure that the sharp ends of the wire do not stick out.

The grill is finished, you can cook.

Grill Yakitori

Unlike most grills that cook anything, from burgers to sausages and steaks, this special grill specifically designed for yakitori, Japanese chicken skewers. In principle, the word "yakitori" is translated, fried chicken. Short kebabs are placed over a narrow gutter with coals. Suspended products cook quickly, do not burn and do not stick to the grill or grill surface. If you want to try a dish of Japanese cuisine, the recipe is at the end of the article. It remains to make himself grill for yakitori. The author, after traveling to Japan, offers an easy-to-use grill design and specially designed double-hook skewers.

Step 1: Prepare a metal sheet.

A WARNING: Do not use galvanized steel for the grill housing. When heated, the surface releases vapors hazardous to the body.

• Mark the 4 mm holes that will serve as skew holders. Draw a ½ "line 60 cm below the edge of the aluminum sheet. Mark 10 holes 5 cm between the centers and drill.
• Then drill 5 holes along the short ends of the sheet. They are designed for fastening rivets to the frypot rims. Draw a line 25 mm from the edge, then measure, mark and punch holes of 15 cm on each side.

Step: Prepare the end cups.

Find and mark the center of the bowl. Draw a line from the center to the edge. Use this line to center the legs of the L-mount. Mark the location of the holes on the frypot.
Use a wooden block as a support inside the broiler. Use a rivet with washer on the inside to secure the L-shaped leg. Repeat this with another bowl.

Step 3: Test the details.

1. Gently rotate the aluminum sheet 30 cm. Do not try to bend everything at a time, lean the sheet against the countertop. Fold the sheet slowly and gradually to bend the curve.
2. Place the curved groove inside the end cups on a flat surface, making sure that all 120 cm are even.
3. Hold the brackets against the curved edge of the sheet and mark the location of the holes on the inside of the caps.
4. If you use the grill in places where there are strong winds, you can make the trough a little deeper or even make a lid.
5. Use the holes already drilled in the gutter to mark the location of the corresponding holes in the bowls. Mark with a marker on the inner rim of each bowl.
6. Then flip over and punch the marks on the other side to make indentations on the outside of the rim. This will facilitate drilling from the outside.
7. Prepare a wooden block and drill holes in the rim with a diameter of 4 mm.

Step4: Collect and paint.

Align the holes and insert the rivets. Cover the inside with paper and tape. Paint the grill with heat-resistant paint, preferably in two layers. Let dry overnight.

Step 5: Make legs and arms.

Attach the corks to the legs, as shown in the photo.

Drill a 3 mm hole through the axis of the 2 plugs. Take a small flat head bolt to secure the plug on the end cap with the washer and nut on the inside.

Step 6: Make skewers.

1. To make skewers with a double hook, cut the steel rods by about 35 cm and use a pair of pliers to make zigzag bends.
2. Drill a hole in the center of the cork and a second, shallow one, between the center and the edge.
3. Fasten the cork to the short end of the skewer.
4. Use pliers to make a U-shaped bend at the end of the wire.
5. Then slide the curved end into the second hole in the plug.
6. You get an insulated handle that will not rotate.
7. Make as many skewers as you want.
8. If you do not want to make special skewers, you can use any.

How to cook

Place the grill on a fireproof surfacee from plants or buildings. Put crumpled paper and apply charcoal. Heat the coals and let them burn until they are evenly covered with white ash - about 30 minutes.

Yakitori Recipe (chicken on skewers)

Ingredients

• 500 g boneless chicken thighs, with or without skin
• ¾ cup mirin (sweet rice wine)
• ½ cup soy sauce
• ½ cup sake
