Gas Grills -- No longer use briquets ??
"Colbyt" wrote in message ... Since the original Poster is satisfied I will attempt a hijack : ) I am in the process of building a brick grilling island in my backyard that will be feed from a propane stub. The structure shape is not yet "set -in -stone" so to speak because I have questions regarding the grilling area. First I assume the grill needs to be at least lined with firebrick, bur I wonder, how many layers, and do I need a special mortar? Second, can I build a burner out of say, black iron pipe? Or would I be better off buying a pre-made burner... I.E, what kind of danger(s) do I present myself with a home made burner? ( which I could make to fit the grill size I want? Thanks for any input. Brandon Firebrick uses a special mortar. I can't say for sure whether you need firebick or not. A single layer is all that any modern fireplace has. No way you would need more. Your home-made burner should work. At least they work great with natural gas. A premade cast iron one will last forever. SS will last about 3 years. At least that is the longest any ever lasted me when used once or twice a week 48 weeks a year. Colbyt Thanks for the replies about the burner. I really want to build the entire set-up including the burner, what I am unsure about is how I should regulate the gas flow. I see by looking at my current grill that there are adjustable openings in the line between the regulator and the burner. I assume these allow for different amounts of air into the line. My question, why doesn't gas escape out of those? Is it because as the gas is burning it pulls the air through? Do I need to incorporate that into my burner design or is that not a necessity? Thanks Brandon |
