Realistically, how hard would it be to build myself a brick barbeque?

   You can laugh but about thirty years ago, I had a huge amount of used brick left over from a project repair job that the prior owner of my house had bought for a Brick walk and over ordered, leaving them when he left. Since we had no trouble with frost I dug down and created a long, broad trench which I filled with concrete, on each side of the trench i put up a brick wall four bricks wide (probably could have gotten away with thee bricks but I had bricks everywhere went up 5 bricks high used scrap re bar for a grate and then went up 6 more put more re bar in for a surface to hold pots and pans and found a junk piece od diamond plate for a grill surface, which I soon replaced with a heavy piece of iron that proved better for grilling—The diamond plate made some really strange grill marks I must admit.–Project not hard ,,I let the joints weep mortar a bit , for a rustic effect. make sure you keep the mix correct

   set in a concrete pad 4-5 inches thick.and 4inches wider then you need then just build your Barbeque on it leaving a 4″ lip all around.if you can use stainless steel for the grill.wont have to deal with the rust from rebar.total job 3hrs to lay in the pad.wait one day and 5-8 hrs to construct the grill.when i did mine i put the pad in one weekend and the grill the next. and it,s still cooking going on 30 years.but i lucked out i had access to 3/4″ s/s bars salvaged from a demo job i did on a restaurant
