Argentine Style Grill & Brick BBQ Smoker Stop Motion

Started with a 5" concrete slab, then used 43 cinder blocks, 450 used bricks, 50 fire bricks and made 2" concrete plates for the grill support, counter-top and roof. The Argentine grill is a modified drop-in with stainless V-grate, bolted it straight to the concrete/steel structure. Burning Hickory or hardwood charcoal = awesome food !

Here are a couple of tips that make assembly slightly easier ruclips.net/user/postUgkxCx5fHawkK9OoV-ojFrY8JLnZrFwAmvUt . 1) One person can assemble, but if you have a buddy to help, it will make it go faster - especially steps 1-3 and 8 (the legs aren't heavy but can be difficult to hold while screwing things in). Step 8, 1st part will take some time unless you have two more hands OR are really lucky. 2) Use a socket wrench! 3) Step 7, 3rd part - the flame carry over tube has an open side, MAKE SURE THE OPEN SIDE IS FACING THE FRONT. If it's facing the back, the tube won't work. 4) Step 10, 3rd part - if you don't have small hands (I don't, they're gigantic) getting the nut on is really difficult (but not impossible). It took me about 4 hours to assemble, but I took a "union break" every 60-90 minutes and ate a quick lunch. Also, I'm really OCD so I took my time, looked at the instructions carefully, and cleaned up as I went.
👍👍
Not only a sweet grill but an even better editing job. The marching building materials was hilarious.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Training bricks to walk isn't easy !!
Ralf Gomm Waka waka
+123chargeit Shakira, seriously? What does she know about premium BBQ? If at least she were from Argentina !!
Your too much. LOL
Thanks for sharing this. It's beautiful work and the closest I've seen to what I want to build.
That's great to hear, thanks. I hope it inspired you to build your own version :-)
I freaking loved this!!! Now if only everyone built this in their backyard they would truly enjoy it!
You should start building your own then :-) Glad you liked the video, thanks!!
Wasn't expecting the cool cinematography! Great video all the way around.
Thanks Frank !
when i do repairs or diy projects, i prepare and pay attention to details, you take it to another level, respect ! :)
and thanks for the video
The devil is in the details :-) Thanks for your comment - I really appreciate it !!!
I am going to buy Argentine Style Grill and BBQ Smoker Plan (PDF) for my hubby to build. Love that you are donating 50% of all proceeds to St. Jude's children hospital. This grill/smoker looks beautiful. I am looking forward to your part 2 video of you using the grill and smoker.
That should be a fun project for him. Thank for your feedback and I will hurry up on part two...
I love the 80's walking bricks train at the beginning of the video. Thanks for sharing!
Soccer4life53 Thanks for the feedback, glad you liked it!!
I like. I have to get me some of those self walking/loading bricks!! literally just built itself!!!
Mat Pinato Walking bricks are a bit more pricy, but totally worth it :-)
haha completely agree! very cool BBQ niche way awesome job! roughly how many bricks and cinder blocks did it take ??
Hats off to you. Not only a great pit but a great timelapse.
Thank you much !!
What a nice design and nice video editing.
Thank you !!
+VIVIAN “HONEY” MACKENZIE just about to say the same: awesome video skills and bricking as well :)
+LordSear1982 The grill assembly is from Engelbrecht Grills & Cookers. There are other suppliers but I liked the design and price point. And it works really well.
That is exactly what I want to build in my back yard. Wish I had a dad who taught me things
Zach Moore It’s not difficult though, almost like LEGO. Take a look at the plan and I’m happy to answer questions. Have fun!
Your film making style is mad, but I love it. A work of art, both the video and the finished grill/smoker!
Thanks for the feedback !
BTW: Starting the smoker right now for Baby Back Rib Sunday :-)
Sounds good, you putting any more videos up? I'm doing some more grilling videos soon, and was interested in what you could do on your grill (which looks state of the arty btw).
I have subbed in case you load any more! Fell free to sub back :-)
I do have one other video up that shows the grill & smoker in use: ruclips.net/video/LFwEz70-wIc/видео.html High quality steaks with only coarse salt is by far the best, tough. You seem to have a collection of nice videos yourself - I'll have to take a look at those...
That grill is top, did you have someone make it for you. A lot of restaurants are adopting that now over the gridiron/castiron style. Very Good!
The grill is awesome. There are a few suppliers in the US that offer this style, I got mine from Engelbrecht Grills - the Braten model with stainless Argentine grate. It functions flawlessly since two years now.
thank you!!! we just ordered your plans, can't wait to build it......I was born in Argentina, this is going to be so great! will send you pics after its finished
+maria cappillo This is great, thanks much! Have fun with your project. Feel free to reach out with questions (my email is on the plan). And make sure to send pictures - I can't wait to see !!
Fantastic! This is just incredible. Great job on the grill and movie!
Thanks !
Fantastic grill and a very nice video. Good to see people cooking with wood and not gas. Gas or briquettes are totally devoid of atmosphere and character. Plus, the wood gives food a special smokey flavor that gas fired cookers just can't replicate. Two thumbs up!
You are spot on: grilling with hardwood has more character, taste & fun. Thanks!
Can I request those plans and parts list here? I've been wanting something nice like this in my backyard.
Excellent craftsmanship and beautiful! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you !
Oh wow. totally fucking boss. Isnt this every man's dream?
Thanks much !
Like like like like like!! Thanks for the 2D drawing and instruction!! Make me feel like maybe I can do it, too!!
Zapjelly, it really wasn't that difficult. Whatever goes wrong can easily be corrected along the way. Just make sure to send me pictures if you build your own !!
Great work Ralf! I was wondering, how long does it take to get the smoker up to temp (225-250F)? I heard block smokers take a while to get hot. Also, I know you put down fire brick at the bottom of the smoker but how is the rest of the smoker holding up to the heat? Any breaking/splitting in the top sections of the block?
Thanks Joe ! To start the smoker, I burn down 3-4 medium logs which takes about 30-45min. That gives me 250-200F for about 2hrs. I refuel either with smaller logs or charcoal that I start outside the smoker. I stacked fire brick 2-3 rows high inside the smoker, everything else is cinder block. No cracks so far and I don't expect any. Even if it does develop cracks, that should not matter much since everything is double walled.
I have never posted a comment in my life but this video deserves it. AMAZING instructional video. Great Job
Thank you so much - that is a fantastic compliment !!
Deadly setup. Great job. Can you make me one lol
Don't know what is beter; the video or the braai, well done on both boet.
Thank you !!
just beautiful! !!!
Ralf Gomm How long did it take you to build this?
It took about 8 weeks to the first fire. Then another few weeks to finish detail work like the small tile, handles ect. It wasn't too bad really. Mostly weekend work and a few hours each night.
Guys whats your opinion on this grill set, its for my daddy's b-day. Thanks!

Amazing work !! Not only enjoyed your brick work but very artistic ....
I know now what my next project will be for 2014... Happy new year
Thanks Marcela !
Make sure to send me pictures if you do end up building your own.
Wow! Great job!
Thanks - glad you like it !!
in my opinion the best build a grill on the entire dang Internets well done!
Wow - thanks !!
Its not like stoves build themselves......wait a second..
VERY WELL DONE! Music, entertainment and a great build! I could watch more of these types of videos!
David Brooke Awesome, glad you liked it, thanks!
6 people thought they were clicking the thumbs up..
...vegetarians? But they could smoke cheese... unless they're vegan.
Ben, I take your comment as a compliment though - thanks.
great work, bravo! i also like the stop motion of the beer moving around ! :D
Good catch. I paid special attention to the beer videography 😀
im from slovakia and i search inspiration for home made grill like this. Great video and great job. Thanks man
Thanks - glad you liked it. Have fun building your own!
I love the stop motion style you gave the video. The bricks and tools moving around like little critters was a nifty touch. Cool music selection, too. And, of course, the project looks great.
Thanks for the feedback!
Very clever illustration and music selection. I'm very interested!
One of the better build videos out there. Nice job on the photography and details. Plus, it was more entertaining than a lot of them with a narrative.
Thanks - I really appreciate that !!
Thanks...this is my project for the Fall. Excellent video showing the progress, ya done good.
Jack Sanders Awesome, have fun! And let me know if I can help answer any questions.
Talk about a beautiful piece of art
Awesome - thanks !!
Bad ass grill, I'm envious! I wish I were so handy..
It's really not that difficult. Brick by brick... just like Lego !!
Wow great job on that!! Really cool BBQ pit/area.
Thanks - it's a lot of fun to grill & BBQ with it.
Ralf, you're a great craftsman. Way to go, that looks fantastic.
Sweet, thank you so much. But the self-walking brick did most of the work :-)
All I can say is wow not only did ya do a great job with your bbq but your video is kickass too . Well I wish you many wonderfull weekends enjoying your prize bbq its a hell of a beauty. Cheers
Thank you Marc, I appreciate your note. The grill is indeed serving as a great outdoor kitchen, party attraction and most of all makes fantastic food !!
This was a beauty and I sold the wife on an Argentine style grill with showing her this one. Good on ya mate.
+Jon Lepree That's great to hear! This makes the best grilled food and is amazing for entertaining. Have fun with the build.
Awesome job! The break dancer was a nice touch!
Thanks, I'll let the break dancer know.
I thoroughly enjoyed your video! You are a talented builder as well as videographer.
Thanks JD - this was my first ever brick project... so luck might have played a role too.
loved the video. great combination: humor, and skillful execution.
Super - thanks for the feedback !
welcome.
got any plans for any others?
+spazz spazzrei Absolutely: check the comment section. There is a link to the plan & parts list - all for a good cause :-)
oh i meant do you plan on doing any other video projects like this one :)
+spazz spazzrei Oh I see what you mean. Yes, I have a design idea for a 'modified' traditional Argentine grill - all about fusion grilling :-) Unfortunately, no schedule I that yet...
That is one killer setup you built. Who needs a man cave?
It's my outdoor man cave :-)
Beautiful job on the grill :) I lack the skill but I'd love to build one for my mom one day.
Kat Thank you! Laying brick isn’t hard though. Kind of like LEGO 😀 Take a look at the plans I have and you might just want to build your own.
That's awesome. Wanna make it in my back yard too
Here you go: sellfy.com/p/ChZI/ Enjoy!!
Great work on this. Very simple, to the point. I'm building two grills now and my 2nd grill will officially be a 'Modified Gomm' design. Great job!
Alvaro, make sure to send pictures of your grill projects - can't wait to see. Thanks!
Wow great job - wish I had that sort of talent
You do !!
I hate watching construction type videos with nothing but pictures, with that said I loved this video. I got what I came here for and it was actually entertaining, something that was unexpected. Any way, amazing grill. Nice job.
I appreciate that feedback Daniel and I will pass compliments along to the cat for its support role.
Cant wait to do a version of this one- just laid the pad. started off 115" and added another 18" when i decided the smoker has to be bigger. will post pics here and a link when we're done!
Hi Sean, can’t wait to see pictures of your version. Have fun!!
Great job all around, both the construction and the video. I used to live in Argentina and I miss using one of these types of grills (a la open flame) - I learned to make some of the greatest grilled meats I ever ate. The Argentines are wonderful grillmasters or asadores.
Thanks Jason - and I agree that this style of grilling can make the best tasting meats (with practice) and is a lot of fun.
Brill lovely job. The windless is so nifty .
Neil williams Thank you !!
No worries credit where credit is due.
I cooked on one of these in Uruguay and they're fantastic! Great design!
So true - this style of grilling is the best !!
Thanks for your feedback.
Ralf Gomm Ralf...am I going crazy or didn't I see that for $20 you'd send the plan for this? I would end up modifying it a bit to be more Uruguayan but the bones would essentially be the same. Also, where'd you get the smoker doors?
Hi Chris, you're not crazy (as far as I can tell). The plan is available here: sellfy.com/p/ChZI/ Modifying it to your needs should be easy. I am happy to answer questions along the way. The doors are a self made sandwich of plywood, sheet metal and decorative aluminum. Very easy & durable actually. I wish I could have had cast iron doors but simply didn't find a good (cost effective) source for that. Enjoy and make sure to send pictures !!
This is exactly what I was looking for. Great usage of time lapse Ralph!
Glad you liked it - thanks !
on my 2nd year of brickylaying and thinking of building a bbq i might make this one thank for the 2d drawing
You're welcome... and please share pictures if you build your own !!
going two wait till 6 week holls i will send a pic if ido
One of the BEST videos I have ever seen...WOW...Well done guys...!
+Theodore Davis Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it.
Nice build; some great planning there; though I'd hate to stand on stones to cook. Appreciate the video as well; a lot of effort gone in to that by the looks.
Thanks for the feedback. You're right, concrete or tile floor would be more comfortable in the long run.
The guy who made this for President!
Howard Gilmour I think I'm better at BBQing. Although.... :-)
23 seconds in.........arguably one of the greatest videos on the the tinterweb! Loving it.
Howard Gilmour Glad you liked it - thanks!
No worries. People don't realise that to make good video takes skill in addition to the skills your demonstrating with the building work. Good creativity, liked the format. How you gonna follow it up? ;)
Howard Gilmour This grill will last forever, so I'll need a new house to build a new one. I have ideas for that :-)
Good man. Can't wait. Bring on the new house and grill!
Really cool video..don’t know what video editing tool was used, but bricks moving, and getting set in their respective position without presence of any human hand through out the video is awesome...
Thanks, I’m glad you enjoyed it. The video is really just 500+ individual photos put together. I may have spent more time taking pictures than building the grill :-)
this has to be the thing on RUclips, this is awesome, I'm making one
I’m curious, have you built your own by now?
Great idea I’m about to build one very similar have me some good ideas of house I can do the play for for the firebrick to sit on wasn’t sure if I was gonna pour a slab or use steel
Super, have fun building your own version!!
Wow best construction video ever!!! Very Cool.
Thank you!! Glad you liked it.
Nice build! so simple and doable!
I appreciate that, thank you !
It would be awesome to see you cook on this smoker. Im interested in seeing how the smoker smokes.
I am working on a part 2 video right now that shows the grill and smoker in use. Stay tuned...
all it takes is allitle hard work and a vision !
...and beer !
well done on this... I am from south Africa, and here we also think we are the masters of the grill.....lol...looks like we need to take this one to the Rugby pitch as well.... meet each other on the center line...and have a "braai"-off
Well done on the vid....waas fun to watch...and the "braai" looks good, very smart
I'm no master of the grill (yet), so you win. No need to play Rugby... Glad you like it, thanks !
A1 Bro! I'm a retired bricklayer! Kudos to you on this one!!!
Awesome, thumbs up from the expert. Thanks!!
I don't care about BBQ, I just like the video :-)
thumbs up!
Thank you !!
This is great! My boyfriend and I just moved into our first home and for a birthday gift for him I have been looking into building a smoker/grill.If you wouldn't mind sharing the drawing and parts list it would be greatly appreciated!
Beautiful work! You made it look easy but I'm sure it took skills!!!
Thanks ! I actually never laid brick before, so it can't be that hard :-)
Nice video, thumbs up. Cheers from sunny Sint Maarten in the Caribbean.
+Capt Eric “WeBeYachting” Bergeron Thank you!! Cheers back from mostly sunny North Carolina.
It’s a great video, that inspire me to do my project, many Thks
Awesome - have fun building your own !!
Very nice setup. What area of the world do you have this in, does it see winters. With no footings below the frost line I wonder what would need to be modified to do this in Michigan. What happens to the rain that comes down into the fire box of the grill or the run off of the counters next to it? This is the closest thing to my wants as I have ever seen. The video was fast to the point and entertaining, you did an awesome job on both the structure and the video.
This BBQ is in North Carolina, so no problem with just a 5" concrete slab, but as you point out, areas with harsh winters might need this to be modified accordingly (I'm not the expert in that matter). Good observation with the rain! I have added an aluminum cover for the grill (not shown in the video) which keeps out most of the water. However, water that does enter the grill area will collect at the front & back of the concrete center plate and run out at all four corners, along the inside of the brick arches and come down to the concrete slab. The other important thing is to simply lay the fire brick onto the center plate without setting it in mortar. So if ice does build up in that area, it will not cause any cracks ect. Thanks for your feedback !
Ok that was seriously entertaining. Bravo!
Thanks !!
Qué buena te salió! Hermosa parrilla. Te felicito che! Saludos desde Monte Grande, Provincia de Buenos Aires!
It came out well! Beautiful grill. Congratulation buddy! Greetings from Monte Grande, Province of Buenos Aires!
Muchas gracias. Saludos de nuevo hermosa Buenos Aires !!
Hi! Been thinking of building a brick BBq for a while now and stumbled upon your video and awesome Grill, brick bbq. This is what i want. Do you have a drawig and parts list? would appreciate it...
that was the laziest way to build an arch that I have ever heard of, I freaking love it!
Scott Jostad Lazy isn’t always bad :-)
I know man, I was implying that I would have done it the hard way, with a plywood form, but your way was legit.
Hell yeah! You should get an academy award! I watched it twice in a row! =)
Is there a Nobel price for BBQ?
Nice work on both the grill and the videography!
Sweet, thanks !
great video....seriously well made. Great setup too....
Martin Wie Thank you, glad you liked it !!
That was awesome, best build video I have ever seen. Not in terms of learning/teaching but very entertaining and you get to see some tricks also. Oh and I am really amazed that the cat stayed in place for the time it to to film the stop motion. :)
Thank you Vince !
The best Brick bbq build on youtube but why only two videos we need an update sir! Awesome job!
The BBQ Bodybuilder Thank you so much!! I am starting to fantasize about a new design and it will be amazing. But it will take a bit more time. Stay tuned...
Will do I subbed up.... ill wait on your new design before I do my build I was going to duplicate yours.., hopefully its not too far in the future but ill be watching!
The BBQ Bodybuilder Warning: you’ll have to wait a while. I think a new design is still 2yrs out. Sorry!
Thanks for the heads up ill be building this exact design next spring ill record it and post it on youtube giving you the credit...happy bbquing my friend!
The BBQ Bodybuilder Can’t wait to see it! Send me pictures along the way and let me know if you have any questions!
Great video art, and a great grill. 👍👍
Mika Lee Thank you!
Great job . Thinking about doing one my self.
thinking and doing are not the same thing
Nice work mate! awesome grill! neat finish!
Thank you !!
I wanna eat at your house! Awesome vid highly motivated bricks
Don't eat the house. Eat the steak !
Wow, beautiful work. That is some impressive construction.
Thank you - I appreciate that !!
This is the best work I’ve ever seen plus the kids are so cute
Awesome - thank you for your comment, and I very much agree !!!
Tip top job mate..what was the build time?? Looking at building one myself and this little beauty is spot on. And thanks for the link to the plans.
It took me around 8 weeks until I made the first fire + steaks. A few more weeks to finish the smoker doors and all trim... All in all not that bad. Enjoy the build and make sure to send pictures of your project !!
Awesome looking. amazing work.I dig these brick BBQ vids. they must be vegetarians worst nightmare.
Thanks WV591! Yes, we've had a few vegetarian comments which is sad because even veggies will taste better of this grill :-)
yes indeed. next time you have a big party and need some entertainment other than music, you should invite couple of vegetarians just to watch them drool. just make sure you have all your grilled veggies surrounded by ribs and burgers or chicken touching the meats. kind of like a garlic to a vampire.
but if you are not as mean as I, you can offer then some stale chips :-)
+WV591 You are mean :-)
You sir have inspired me....im almost done with mine...takeing alot more time than I thought but it will last a lifetime....
That is so awesome!! That's exactly what this video was made for and I know you will love to grill on it - just wait :-) But PLEASE do email me pictures of yours. I love to see how other grills turned out. Thanks !!
I did not realize you had the plans available untill I was finished with the main structure so I dont have your email....I will do a quick little walk around vid when I finish with a link to your plans.....you made a beautiful grill and an awesome video to compliment it...
Oh no, you must have watched the video a thousand times to do this without the plan !! Can't wait to see how it came out - great stuff !! I'll send you a private message for email...
Ralf Gomm that sounds about right....now I play the glitch mob on a continuous loop while im working on it...lol
You may excuse me sir but I may be copying your exquisite effort........ Love it
I hope you do! Have fun and let me know if you have any questions.
Very cool, the grill and the film
Thanks !!
That was awesome!! Nice job, happy bbqing.
Thanks! BBQing does make happy - did you see the part 2 video ?
Yes I did :) Nice job on the food.
As we say in Argentina: "Troesmas de la parrilla" (masters of the grill!) Well done guys!
Thanks Dan but I'm certainly no master yet. It took me about 3 month to get consistent results. Served plenty of raw or burned meat along the way...
Ralf Gomm Just shared in my Facebook for all my Argentine friends! You will get the art of cooking soon. One secret in Argentina is to cook one side of the steaks, the flip and cook the other side. Only one flip. great video Ralf! And a Master grill! Would love to make one just like yours! Mmmmmmmesquite!
Dan Post One flip only - I will keep that in mind. Thanks Dan.
Thats just friggin awesome! Great Job!!
Thank you Sir !
