Varieties of options for creating a barbecue on wheels

Barbecues have become an integral part of our holiday. They allow you to prepare a variety of dishes that are impossible to obtain in other conditions. The smell of smoke from the coals saturates the aroma of meat, fish and vegetable dishes. The difference between a barbecue and a barbecue is that during cooking on the barbecue, skewers are used, onto which pieces of the prepared product are strung. In barbecues, cooking is carried out on a special grill. Consider a variety of wheeled barbecues.

Mobile barbecues on wheels can be divided into 2 types according to their functionality:

• whole;
• collapsible.

Solid ones are made mainly by welding. They do not provide for disassembly of the structure. Collapsible are designed for disassembly and transportation of the structure to the place of use. The variety of appearance of structures allows you to choose the most attractive and convenient model to use. Of the many options for a barbecue, several can be distinguished.

This option is the easiest to make with your own hands, since it does not require special skills in giving the metal unusual shapes. In this case, it is only necessary to precisely cut out the parts of the barbecue and weld them together.

This option is most often used in author's designs. It is distinguished by its exquisite shape and decent weight. Such a product can be made only with the use of special equipment.

The simplest design, which basically consists of 90% of a trolley (the one used in supermarkets). Doesn't require much skill to rework.

This design gives a second life to the part that many throw away in a landfill. It is quite easy to manufacture and does not rust during operation.

A fairly easy-to-manufacture option. In this case, the barrel must be cut lengthwise and get two barbecues or use the other half as a lid. It is necessary to make a stand under the barrel in order to raise the structure to the required height.

This manufacturing option is quite simple and involves the use of one to several disks. They have a fairly thick metal, such a structure will last a long time.

Such designs provide an unusual approach to the basis for making a barbecue, where they use, for example, a case from cars (metal for children, real vehicles), a system unit from a computer, metal carriages and locomotives of sufficient size for a barbecue.

For a more comfortable stay (especially in the country), it is often necessary to take into account the direction of the wind, since the smoke from the coals can be directed towards the table where the guests are. In this case, stationary barbecues do not save the day. We have to use mobile structures.

Considering that the structure itself is made of metal with a thickness of more than 1.5 m, the weight is quite decent. It is often difficult for one person to tolerate. Especially if the cooking has already begun and the barbecue has reached a high temperature.

An important factor in the design is taking into account the required distance from the handle, for which the barbecue will move, to the main unit, where the coals are heated. The distance should be such that the handle does not get too hot during cooking, as it can cause burns if touched. It is desirable to make the surface of the handle from a material that has low thermal conductivity. This will allow it to heat up less.

The stand with wheels must be strong, made taking into account the weight of the barbecue itself. Its design usually depends on personal preference.

For ease of use, side surfaces can be provided in the structure. For example, they can be folding, designed to accommodate food, plates or other utensils. Also, the designs of mobile barbecues are often equipped with an upper roof that protects the food and coals from the rain.

The width and length of the future barbecue should take into account the dimensions of the grill or skewers used for cooking, as well as their number. Barbecues are often made to be cooked on a single wire rack. However, if you need to simultaneously cook a large number of dishes (for example, meat, fish, mushrooms and vegetables), which should preferably be served hot immediately after cooking, you should think about increasing the length or width of the barbecue you are making or ordering.

In addition, it is necessary to correctly select the thickness of the material for manufacturing. It is important to take into account that when used, the metal burns out, after a while (depending on the frequency of use and storage location) the grill will be unusable. The thickness of the metal is generally between 1.5 and 5 mm. It should be borne in mind that the thicker the metal, the heavier the structure will turn out.
