FINALLY! The complete package. There are a lot of cinder block grill videos out here, but yours is one of the best. 1) You showed us the items we'll need to make the grill. 2) You showed how to construct it. 3) Then, the final product! I absolutely loved this video. Thank you for taking the time to map this out and share it with the rest of us. Beautifully done. 5 Stars and High Fives to both of you!!
I built one like this with one adjustment. The middle block in the back on the first level I layed on its side to create a vent for air flow to the fire. I use another flat block behind it that I can use to close the opening depending on my venting needs.
Hi Moe! You presented the most intelligent, easy to follow instructions, low cost "building a grill" video, compared to all the other videos! Oh MY GOODNESS, A SISTA!!!!!! I started writing this compliment before hearing her!!! Oh my goodness, this took it to another level to hear the imput of a woman, your wife!!! Plus you aren't intimidated by her knowledge!! You guys are THE BEST!!!!! I love this!!!
Yes, a little intimidated by her know how and her wits but it's intriguing and sexy. My wife always wants to push her knowledge on top of my head, but it's okay cuz I'm smart as well in some areas that she's not.
The grill is great but even better is the way you and your wife are working together! God bless you and keep you safe in this pandemic. Thanks for the video it looks easy but you definitely need to be strong to do this one!
One suggestion would be to dig out the grass/sod and put down a large paver stone or patio stones on the bottom and level it. Not only would your cinder blocks be more level but I know in my state it's a law outdoor fire pits have to be contained on four sides, one of those sides being the bottom. Believe it or not the ground can catch on fire and travel.
Really nice job. I can't wait to get home and build one. People that gave you 39 thumbs down probably went and bought a Char-Broil grill wasn't up for the work
Excellent vid, thank you for sharing. I agree with some of the other comments - turn one block on each side so that the openings are parallel to the ground to create vents. It'll help with the heat and to get rid of smoke.
That's awesome I'm going to buy everything I need tomorrow. I looked at a few plans for a backyard grill and really like your design. Thanks you gave me a weekend project. Great clear step by step instructions.
The most important of this build is (1) building a foundation to prevent fire-ground travel. (2) Reduce direct fire transfer to the cinder blocks by installing metal shielding plates. (3) Creat sufficient air flow in rear fire walls to control cooking temperature. (3) This build is against fire code in over 38 states. (4) Fire to ground contacts can initiate a large sink hole.
The beauty of that dry stack is that nobody is going to steal it and you can move it and reconfigure anytime. It does need a floor in it. Half a dozen fire brick can do that.
The metal is called angle iron. I used to sell it myself. To get it cheaper go to a steel supply shop near you and about hardware stores all together. But nice build
Very cool. I wish I would’ve kept all the bricks that came in a pile when I bought this place. I had 50 plus of them. I’ve been kicking myself lol. I still have a few left and some regular bricks that are used around fire places. In my case a wood stove. Gonna look for the grilling video. Thanks.
Now that's what's up! I was just talking with my cousin about how expensive that Barrel pits are and he well you can make it and it hit me. My grandpa had one made from masonry bricks but I ain't down with that cement crap so cinder blocks it is. But imma have a circle cut on one side to slide my Dutch oven into that bad boy! Nice video...
great stuff BUT a question. isn't the weight of the whole 'installation' going to sink into the floor since i haven't seen you make a foundation? i mean obviously it's not gonna sink all the way in but won't it start leaning to a side ? or am i missing the point completely and is the idea that you'll just take this away whenever you want and it's not meant to be permanent?
Congratulations! Yours is the best video to build me a grill! Even a beginner like me can follow these directions. Your idea of the double mesh, will that be strong enough for me to build the fire on the first, and cook on the second mesh? Thank you for sharing!
Use wood under to creat ur fire or can make a fire pit but iv heard about air flow at the bottom & blocks r pourest with air holes thruout blocks n when wet n start fire boiling heat xan actually cause block to explode but not 100%sure if thats a fact. Be safe!
@@bensenzo turning the metal mesh would not have mattered one bit. What you need to do is place one or two pieces of the same thickness as the angle iron front piece in the middle. He started out poorly because it was never level or close to it which will cause not only your bricks to be uneven and gapped in places, but it will ultimately affect the level of the cooking surface. Some folks will use flat sheet steel and season it for this type of build, bit with the mesh it doesn't all that much matter as long as it is not a huge difference in level. That will affect how your food cooks because of one side or part being closer to the fire or heat source than another.
Looks good brotha, this is exactly what I was looking for. I can see a bunch of possibilities with the design but it's neat an easy. You should post a materials list in there
I'm not actually Savvy on the computer doing things of that nature, but I'm getting my kids to help me. So but thank you, but I'm going to look into that.
I would just move the last layer of 3 full blocks down to the layer before that where you used the half blocks and the flat blocks will be enough weight for your top rack and you have a nice even flat top.
Thanks Mr and Mrs Garden. This is great!! My son and I will be building this as a surprise for my hubby. Mr. Garden you mentioned in the comments there's a pan you can buy for charcoal that can be placed underneath. What is it called? Where can we find it? Great vid yall!!
sexyme320 direct fire on cinder blocks would crack and break. However you can put a piece of sheet metal down as a flooring so you could sweep the ashes out

Nice, you beat me to it I was going to suggest the same or on both bottom layer on the side do the same.
Send a picture of yours with the opening and flat biock
Smart lady doing the filming. Great video. Easy to follow instructions

Great job.. the both of you. I got my weekend project mapped out now! Thank you for sharing.

I would have made it 1 more higher. Less bending over
I would recommend digging it out a bit, leveling the ground, and throwing some gravel around blocks and under the fire area to prevent any fires.
You and the misses work so well together ❤ . If my mom pointed something out my dad would flip.
That's what I'm talking about.. Explain step by step
Thank you SOO much ...
Wonderful
third row, is not locked properly. Id make it higher with a metal sheet base to put the charcoal on. Nice video and very detailed.

Greetings to Moe Garden....you guy's sound like New Yorkers! My home State!!!!
Thanks brother. You and the Mrs did and excellent job. God bless
Thank you so much. We appreciate you.
Your wife is on point my brother,GOD BLESS
great job first one i saw that gave material numbers
and great job moderator
The best explanation. Thank you bro.
The metal is called angle iron. I used to sell it myself. To get it cheaper go to a steel supply shop near you and about hardware stores all together. But nice build
Is that where he is going to grill? Where will fire be? Or is going to place a grill on that?
Thank you for posting. I just subscribed.

What did you do with them?
Mines 18 years and still smoking great.
Behind every Good builder is an attentive Wife👀😁
I bet she made him a sandwich after the movie
Thanks for sharing your time. The video helped in my pit build.

Nice video...
Yep old brick ones for grilling with rebar rods (no hardware mesh @ the time)and burning papers back when we were allowed to)
Very interesting. Great video. Thanks!
Lookin good! That will feed a crowd.
thanks clear instructions i'm really into this now
This is the same bbq video of the exact same design ive seen from 3 different folks and they are all great. This should be im everyones backyard. 👍👍
Did it, had success on my first try! Thanks bro...good vid!
Thank you for your sharing and love peace and happy, the editor as well, bless both your hearts, great video, simple, down to earrh
What's the distance from the front opening, I can see the tape measure but would like the measurements, great video
Got me an old cast iron sink. Will build this for an outdoor sink support but paint them and use the gray water for garden. Thanks!!!
Nice Job. I like it probably will make one myself. I can just imagine cooking up some ribs on that!
Love this,! Saving it for when I have my own yard.
Great video. Can you make this pit a bit higher though? Seems low for a man to use without bending down.
Would think this would be perfect with some chairs tor bbqing
Love to see my people living like this 🙌 ❤
Really enjoyed watching that! Keep safe.
👸🏽 Wifey know what she saying lmbo!! 🤣
That’s awesome brother. Helped me a lot. Where did you buy the grill rack cooking surface ??
You two did awesome....thank you!
Thank you so much.
Great job and your assistance
😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃

Its was enough yes sir...
Great job !!!
Good job brother!
I'll be working on my grill next week. Can't wait.
Looks great
Lock washer uses nylock ( plastic to lock) it will melt out. . Bit like the frame work of the smoker.
Awesome! I am going to make one
Good work bro love it
God job sir GOD bless,
im your fan Moe :) greatings from Portugal!
Thank you so much....

Thank you so much.
Great tips 👌🏿
Looking good Moe
Yezz ..that real smart..Im learning so much
Finishes and then the wife says that it would be better if it was moved to the other side of the deck. :)
Grumpy OldMan 🤣😂🤣😂
😂
Finally I appreciate you✊🏿💯
I’m building mine tomorrow. Gonna make a few adjustments.
Let us know your adjustments..ok
Nicely done
I like your style. My concern though would be that the expanded metal would start to sag. Has that happened?
Yeah he should have turned the metal mash clockwise or anti clockwise so it would be pressed on both sides by the blocks

Love your videos
That's So cool, I want to try and make one myself now!
Do you have any problems with the mesh cooking surface rusting from rain?
Thanks man, im making one.
thank you so much for the help
Thanks so much for sharing
Well done! Thank you.
Awesome sir!
How do you light the fire underneath the grill?
Great job
What do you cover to keep from rain putting it out ?
Love the BBG Grill
Looks good brotha, this is exactly what I was looking for. I can see a bunch of possibilities with the design but it's neat an easy. You should post a materials list in there
I'm not actually Savvy on the computer doing things of that nature, but I'm getting my kids to help me. So but thank you, but I'm going to look into that.
Im lost. Where does the charcoal or wood go? With me being 6'3 isn't it a little low?
I just want an invite to the next cookout!!!
What do you put the coals on ? The grass ?
Great video
I would just move the last layer of 3 full blocks down to the layer before that where you used the half blocks and the flat blocks will be enough weight for your top rack and you have a nice even flat top.
Looks good Bro.But the third row only needed three whole blocks to keep the masonry look. Didn't really need the halves.Great job though!
Great .video! Cant wait to do this.Do you get the mesh from home depot as well?
Muy buen equipo.
how do you regulate the fire..
What do you put the coals on?
What's the name of the steel mesh used for the grill top , trying to build this with the kids
Thanks Mr and Mrs Garden. This is great!! My son and I will be building this as a surprise for my hubby. Mr. Garden you mentioned in the comments there's a pan you can buy for charcoal that can be placed underneath. What is it called? Where can we find it?
Great vid yall!!
Any kind pan that withstands heat...
WHERE did you buy the 2 36" metal mesh?
Lowe's
@@moegarden9314 Thank you!
Commentator said what she said... The best comeback on RUclips. :-)
I like this 💯💯💯💯
I'm #22 looking forward to more videos
What to do for a table on barbecue
Looks good but your back side 3rd row is wrong that is why the top row and your caps line up and are not off set
I think a set of blocks at the bottom should be put so you can sweep all the ashes and not leaving them on the grass.
sexyme320 direct fire on cinder blocks would crack and break. However you can put a piece of sheet metal down as a flooring so you could sweep the ashes out
Great idea Thank you so much.
@@Chopper-ct1wf good looking 😉
