Clear instructions for those who - oh, horror! - went to barbecue without a barbecue.

1. How to make a brazier from skewers

To make such a barbecue, you will need a lot of skewers, because, in addition to their direct purpose, they will also be used as a support.

Make a small fire on the ground. When the wood burns out, stick three skewers on two opposite sides so that about 15–20 cm remains above the ground. Insert two skewers or two thin branches into the rings.

On such a structure, you can safely lay out meat planted on skewers.

2. How to make a brazier in a pit

Dig a small hole in the ground 15–20 cm deep and 50–60 cm long. The width should be less than the length of the skewers, since the meat will be located above the depression and the ends of the skewers will lie on the ground. Light a fire in the pit, wait for the coals to smolder, and begin to fry the kebab.

If the skewers are not firmly installed, then something solid, such as branches, can be placed along the edges of the pit. This will prevent the skewers from sliding out.

The walls of such a barbecue keep the heat well. However, this option is only suitable for those with a shovel.

3. How to make a brazier out of wood

Make a fire. When the coals are ready, place two logs at the edges parallel to each other. The distance between them should not be very large. Then place the skewers with meat on the logs.

It is not necessary to use large logs. And if one of them is very small, then you can report this side of the barbecue with large stones.

4. How to make a brazier out of stones or bricks

This construction is similar to the previous one. Large stones or bricks are also laid parallel to each other, focusing on the length of the skewers or meat grates.

If you lay out bricks on all four sides, then the grill will be almost like a real one. In addition, the flames will be protected from the wind and the heat will be stronger.

5. How to make a brazier from cans

In a large company, there will certainly be four cans of beer or other drink with a volume of 0.5 liters.

Make through holes in their upper part using skewers, a knife or pointed rods. Connect the jars together with the same skewers or twigs.
