Production of barbecues from metal: the choice of material and project. Own production of forged barbecues

Fire inseparably follows mankind throughout the existence of the latter. Fire is one of the symbols that you can look at forever, especially if money is on fire. And it's no surprise that fire can make great business ideas. Several!

The most obvious and illustrative example of a business with a twinkle is making barbecue grills. Most instructions and sources on the Internet recommend doing the following (it is proposed to organize a business in your garage ... but in order to organize something in a garage, you need to buy this garage, and we don’t have money):

  • Cut the necessary pieces of sheet iron;
  • Learn how to weld and make accurate welding beautiful barbecue;

Yes. You can also engage in such a welding business. With one NO. Working as a welder with forged products, you can earn much more on various welding jobs than simply welding braziers (professional welders do not really like to cook braziers, there is a lot of work, and the profit is small). Trust my experience. Or for help, check out the article -.

In addition, by producing welded braziers, we limit and drive our potential customers away from us. Firstly, such braziers cannot be foldable, which means that only those buyers who need a stationary brazier are like us. Secondly, the material with which we can work is limited to "black" metal, which blocks access to customers who need original stainless steel barbecues. Thirdly, the barbecues are of the same type, and if you make them very beautiful, then heavy.

No, no, I do not dissuade you from this line of business. There is a demand in it, the cost of production is small, orders are coming. And as a side income, welding barbecues has a place to be. And what if we take and expand this type of business?

Business in the manufacture of gift braziers

Forget about welding. You will have to master sewing and a computer. Yes, I'm serious, the production of metal barbecues may require you to be able to sew. All you need for this business is a little engineering education. If you do not have it, then you must have a friend or relative of a design engineer, you can be a pensioner or a student. Are you a retired engineer or an engineering student? This is your business, drop everything and prepare your wallet for profit.

What is needed? A simple and affordable thing: you need to develop in the design program - a collapsible brazier. As a rule, such braziers consist of 5 parts: a bottom, 2 sidewalls with legs, 2 long sidewalls with ventilation slots and a place for skewers. These parts must be connected to each other by a simple type of groove connection (do not forget when designing). That is, you take a sheet of metal of standard sizes and "cut" it into the component parts of your barbecue. One sheet can fit up to 20 barbecues, that is, about 100 parts. Ensure that there are not many extra scraps left. Although you can then turn them into ferrous metal and earn a little more money. Well, it looks like a pattern and sewing for now?

The designed brazier can be of almost all sizes: from miniature to stationary. Any metal can be used - from "black" to stainless steel of any thickness, the main thing is heat resistance. In addition, you do not need to be a welder, have a garage, and in general, you do not need to leave the house.

The production of such folding barbecues is as follows. You need to transfer the finished drawings and cuttings to a company that offers services for laser cutting of metals. All. At the company, ready-made parts of barbecues will be cut out of metal for you. Sheet metal is sold in the same companies, including all possible types of stainless steels. They will also provide metal bending services if you have such an element in the barbecue. The cost of cutting is from 30 rubles per linear meter. Cutting a sheet of metal, excluding the cost of the material, will cost you an amount not exceeding 5 thousand rubles.

The most important thing in this business is originality. Since you use laser cutting for the production of your braziers, you can easily “cut” ventilation slots on the sides of your braziers in various original forms of inscriptions and drawings. In addition to utilitarian properties, they will perform aesthetic - in the dark, with a lighted fire, inscriptions and drawings will be beautifully illuminated by glowing coals. You can use any inscriptions - from the general “Happy Birthday” to the names of brands of cars, motorcycles and other things, the limitation is your imagination and conscience. Also, you can easily put inscriptions on gift braziers to order. Appreciate how beautiful and poetic the inscription on the grill sounds - “The Ivanov family from the Petrovs” - well, beauty, isn't it?

The average retail price of such barbecues is from 2000 rubles (or from 4000 rubles for a stainless steel barbecue). With the application of individual inscriptions, of course, more expensive.

It is better to use ready-made skewers; you can purchase a set of ready-made skewers or a grill at any hardware store. You can also provide for the production of covers for carrying your barbecues, that is, again, sewing came in handy.

You can organize the production of folding gift braziers at home. Since only a computer is required for such production. The scheme of such a business:

  1. Design your own models of barbecues.
  2. Make them a 3D visualization of barbecues for clarity.
  3. Write a small promotional text that you will distribute in social networks or local sites with free ads.
  4. Collect orders for a "sheet of metal" and translate them into finished products.

The main driving force behind the sale of your barbecues is not only the uniqueness of the design, but also the originality of the inscriptions, the louder and more catchy, the faster you will receive an order from an interested client. Upon receipt of finished products, you can take pictures of them in the assembled state and supplement the 3D visualization pictures with real images.

Another way to establish your successful barbecue business is to “cut” ready-made barbecues with various inscriptions and sell them at a wholesale price for sale to various stores. In car shops - with car wishes (Subaru knocks down, BMW drives, Zhiguli drink). To the fishing shop - with inscriptions for the fisherman-hunter (don't sleep, fisherman, you'll oversleep half a liter, who gets up early, he's already frying by dinner, etc.). Here you are limited only by your imagination, the design and surface of your barbecue.

But what about welding? Do you want to work with your hands and with a spark? Yes please!

Production of fire bowls (outdoor hearths)

Fire bowls are a novelty in our market, which is gaining popularity. Fire bowls are needed for fires, amazing, right? :) They are a metal container with legs or a foundation. In this hearth, you can make a fire and burn bonfires without fear that the grass around the lawn will be scorched, the earth will deteriorate or decorative coating on the ground.

There are no standards in the production of fire bowls. You are limited by the laws of physics and your talents as a great welder. In production, you can use laser cutting, welding, forging, the skills of a bricklayer and decorator, do not forget your sewing skills. Bowls can be stationary, portable, folding. The cost of simple fire bowls is from 1500 rubles. Individual and very beautiful hearths can cost from 300 thousand rubles. At the same time, in terms of cost, finished foci differ from each other by no more than 3-4 times. What is the most important thing in this business? Correctly! Do not get carried away, otherwise one of my welder friends made a small fire bowl weighing 1.5 tons. It's funny to you, but I still have to redo everything.

  • Briefly about the business:
    • starting capital - 90 thousand rubles,
    • profit per month - 56 thousand rubles,
    • payback period - 2 months.

If you know how to handle a welding machine, then the business of producing metal barbecues is quite suitable for you. The idea can be implemented with minimal investment - however, in this case, the income received will be less.

Interest in outdoor activities is growing, and sooner or later any family comes to the idea of ​​the need to acquire their own barbecue and oil lamp. In addition, the useful life of these products is often not very long (the metal “burns out”), so periodically there is a need to replace them. The idea of ​​​​the business is to manufacture barbecues, smokehouses, skewers. By by and large, the brazier is an ordinary metal box with legs (in addition, holes are often drilled in the side walls for air ventilation so that the coals smolder better). Smokehouse - sealed metal box with a lid. For the oil lamp, you will need 1-2 more metal gratings, which are installed inside the product.

It will not be difficult for any welder to make such a product. You can come up with design features on your own, or take samples of barbecues and smokehouses sold in stores as a basis, or find information of interest on the Internet. Braziers and oil lamps are usually sold in tourist, fishing, or hardware stores.

Note!

Products can be made both from ordinary “rusting” iron and from stainless steel.

If you are not friends with the welding machine, then you can agree with the welders to work for mutual benefit. You give them orders, they give you finished products. The sale of finished products, of course, is entirely up to you. As for providing welders with raw materials (sheet iron), then everything is individual. You can provide welders with sheet iron, or they themselves can make oil lamps and barbecues from their own material.

What are the design features of barbecues?

Barbecues are stationary, portable (collapsible) of various sizes. Smokers are also portable and stationary. There is a demand for all types of products, so it is necessary to make things for every taste and budget. Stationary products can also be carried in a car, but they take up too much space, so, as a rule, they are installed once in the country and are not touched again.

In the manufacture of collapsible barbecues, the minimum participation of a welder is required - you only need to weld the ears for connection constituent parts, the rest of the work consists in cutting rectangles from a sheet of metal desired shape. Plus, at the vertical walls, the lower edge is often bent by 1-2 cm so that the bottom lies on the stop of the vertical walls.

The brazier itself consists of 4 legs, 4 vertical walls and a bottom. There are 9 items in total. All of them are metal rectangles, only some need to be bent (legs - along the entire length - it turns out a long corner; and the vertical walls have a small bend at the bottom of 1-2 cm at an angle of 90 degrees so that the bottom lies on the stop). Sometimes, instead of bending, small corners are welded to the vertical walls (to stop the bottom).

It must be remembered that the thickness of steel or iron directly affects the useful life of the product. A brazier or smokehouse made of thin steel up to 1 mm thick will burn out in 1-2 seasons.

A smokehouse or barbecue made of thicker iron or steel gives more uniform heating over its entire working surface, which makes cooking kebabs or smoked meats better.

Equipment for the production of barbecues and smokehouses

To implement and successfully run a business for the production of metal barbecues, you will need a welding machine, a small metalwork workshop with the necessary equipment for working with metal - a machine for longitudinal and transverse cutting of metal, a table-workbench, a vise, a chisel, a hammer, drilling machine, emery wheel, metal shears ... In principle, you can use an ordinary garage for these purposes.

Of the listed equipment, the most expensive is the longitudinal and transverse cutting machine. Its cost starts from 250 thousand rubles, but can be found at a lower cost. It allows you to dissolve metal sheets or rolls into blanks of the required length and width (strip). Can also be used manual machines for cutting metal (cost from 20 thousand rubles) - however, they all have a thickness limit sheet metal, but quite suitable for the manufacture of barbecues and smokehouses, since some quite freely cut a metal sheet up to 8 mm thick., cost welding machine- from 5 to 50 thousand rubles.

Metal for the manufacture of barbecues and smokehouses

Finding a good sheet metal supplier is important. The thickness of the metal and the quality of the weld are very important characteristics finished products. You can buy sheets directly from manufacturers; at the first stage of your activity, you can buy metal sheets from your hands using ordinary ads on the Internet.

Metal sheets are divided into two main types - hot rolled and cold rolled. The sale and delivery of sheets can be carried out in different ways - thin sheets are rolled into rolls and delivered that way, thick sheets cannot be twisted and they are delivered as is. Sheets are also subdivided according to rolling accuracy (normal and high), flatness (high and normal) and type of edge trimming. Cold rolled sheets are usually sold in sizes of 1m * 2m; 1.25 m * 2.5 m, or in other sizes, or in rolls 1.25 meters wide.

Hot-rolled sheets up to 3.9 mm thick come in rolls 1.25 meters wide, or sheets with dimensions of 1.25 * 2.5 meters. There are also sheets of other sizes (for example, with a thickness of 4 mm to 12 mm, there are sheets of sizes 1.5 m * 6 m).

Sheets and coils of other sizes are produced at metalworking enterprises using slitting and cross-cutting machines. Some welders claim that hot-rolled steel is better welded, but it would not be very correct to talk about any clear advantages. Both steels weld well.

Cold rolling makes it possible to obtain sheets with a thickness of less than 0.8-1 mm, which is unattainable with hot rolling. The cold rolled sheet has better surface finish and higher dimensional accuracy. The cold rolling process is more energy intensive, so "cold rolled" sheets are generally more expensive.

Depending on the steel grade and processing method, hot-rolled steel is divided into strength classes. Depending on the steel grade and processing method, cold-rolled steel is divided into strength classes, finishing group and drawing ability.

The cost of the product will directly depend on the material from which it is made. The cost will also depend on the grade of steel.

There are a lot of regulatory documents that define the quality standards for sheet metal. In particular, GOST 14637-89, GOST 16523-97, GOST 19903-74 determine the manufacturing standards for these products and the metal assortment.

Often sellers voice the cost of goods in tons. A table of correspondence between various sheets of cold and hot rolled products must be kept in front of your eyes.

In particular, a cold-rolled sheet of 08ps steel with a size of 1000x2000x0.5 mm will weigh about 7.85 kg. In one ton, thus, 127 sheets.

A cold-rolled sheet measuring 1000x2000x2 mm weighs 31.4 kg. There are 31 sheets in one ton.

A cold-rolled sheet measuring 1250x2500x1 mm weighs 24.6 kg. There are 40 sheets in one ton.

Sheet metal prices change quite dynamically depending on the market. It all depends on many factors: on the supplier - is this iron "left" or not, is the supplier a manufacturer or reseller, on the location of the seller, on the volume of purchases. It is clear that the price in Chelyabinsk and Cherepovets for sheet iron will differ significantly from the price, for example, in Yakutsk or Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky.

It should be remembered that the cost of rolled products depends on the grade of steel, the accuracy of rolled products and other characteristics, so it will not be entirely correct to focus on the first announced prices - you need to clarify all the details.

In particular, in terms of 1 sq. a meter of sheet iron 0.5 mm thick costs about 150-200 rubles.

1 sq.m. sheet iron 1.5 mm thick costs about 350-400 rubles. It is possible to order sheets of the required sizes to metalworking enterprises, in this case the cost of 1 sq. meters of sheet will increase.

  1. A steel sheet xk 1250x2500x0.8 mm costs about 670 rubles. per piece (37 thousand per ton);
  2. A steel sheet xk 1250x2500x1.2 mm costs about 1,033 rubles. per piece (35 thousand per ton);
  3. A steel sheet xk 1250x2500x1.5 mm costs about 1,250 rubles. per piece (34 thousand per ton);
  4. A steel sheet xk1250x2500x2.0 mm costs about 1,650 rubles. per piece (33 thousand per ton).

These prices are quite average, it is necessary to take an adjustment for the region and market volatility.

Sale of barbecues and smokehouses

Now with regard to the sale of finished products. Actually this is the most important question. You can sell oil lamps and barbecues yourself by posting an ad in the media and on the Internet. Or open a store selling metal products. You can rent for sale in stores - tourist, fishing, hunting, household. Offer your product to online stores.

Calculation of the cost of manufacturing a barbecue

On a brazier measuring 40 cm * 20 cm * 15 cm (where 40 cm is the “long wall”, 20 cm is the “short wall”, 15 cm is the height of the walls), it will take approximately 0.26 square meters. m. sheet iron. Plus 4 legs - if you make the corners of sheet iron yourself - this will take iron strips 40 cm long and 5 cm wide, in this case an additional 0.08 square meters is added. m. Thus, the brazier with the indicated dimensions will take about 0.34 square meters. meters of sheet metal.

Cost of 0.34 sq. m. will be with a sheet metal thickness of 0.5 mm will be 50-65 rubles. The retail price of such a barbecue is about 200-300 rubles. The margin on the finished product, therefore, is 300% -500%. True, it will be possible to use it for no more than one season due to the thickness of the metal, but this is not the point - you can independently calculate the profitability based on the desired parameters and dimensions of the product.

Knowing the prices for sheet iron in your region, you can easily calculate how much "iron" and money it will take to make a barbecue or oil lamp.

If there is a good demand for the product, it is very profitable!

Barbecues and barbecues are an indispensable attribute of recreation on fresh air. The most popular options for the execution of braziers are metal products. They have many advantages that allow you to cook a wide variety of dishes with exquisite taste and aroma.

Peculiarities

Metal is the most common material for the production of barbecues and barbecues. Such structures are light in weight, they are easily transported and disassembled. The metal heats up quickly and retains heat well, which contributes to the uniform and rapid frying of fish, poultry and meat.

As a rule, products are made from two types of steel: stainless and heat-resistant.

The selection of metal is a very serious task., since during use, under the influence of high temperatures, the brazier is deformed - the boxes begin to resemble helicopter blades that are twisted in the direction of the main axis. This phenomenon is called plastic deformation. All structural elements are interconnected, therefore, internal stress arises, which causes a significant change in the shape of the brazier. In the future, this leads to a complete loss of shape and destruction of the product.

That is why stainless steel grills are not of high quality. This material is very afraid of burning out, so the brazier serves no more than 1-2 seasons. Heat-resistant steel allows you to create models that are more durable and durable. The alloy contains a high percentage of chromium, this metal oxidizes at elevated temperatures and forms a refractory coating. In addition, the production of this material itself is based on the addition of active components that prevent deformation and fracture of steel under adverse conditions.

Experts recommend using steel grades 10G2, 09G2S and 16GS for the production of barbecues and barbecues. They can withstand several thousand burn/cool cycles. But CT10, CT20 or CT3 alloys are more often used for tourist models, which are characterized by low weight and short service life.

In addition to being temperature-resistant, heat-resistant steel is corrosion-resistant and wear-resistant. It is not susceptible to impacts and mechanical damage of low and medium strength, therefore it is optimal for the production of braziers that are operated outdoors in conditions of high humidity.

The advantages of metal braziers include:

  • good heat retention;
  • low flammability;
  • ease of use and cleaning;
  • mobility;
  • light weight;
  • low price.

Braziers and barbecues can be bought in specialized stores, and they are also widely represented in construction hypermarkets. There they are sold in standard shapes and sizes. However, if you want something unusual, then you can order a brazier at the blacksmith workshop individual project. Such models, as a rule, are decorated with forged elements and decorated.

However, such installations are not easy, therefore they are used as stationary models. Yes, and the cost of such work is quite high.

Kinds

Before buying or self-manufacturing brazier should be very thoughtful about the choice of the optimal model.

The decision depends on many factors:

  • availability of space in the country;
  • the need for transportation;
  • dimensions of the brazier;
  • the possibility of preparing different dishes.

If we talk about barbecues, then it is customary to divide them into three categories.

  • Mobile option can move freely from one place to another. Its exceptional features are light weight, the ability to assemble, disassemble and install, small dimensions. At the same time, to ensure the required ease in the manufacture of tourist structures, thin-walled steel is used, which quickly burns out and collapses.
  • Mobile barbecue- this is a kind of street cart on wheels, such a brazier is also convenient to move. However, it is impossible to disassemble it, fold it and place it in the trunk of a car. Such braziers are often decorated with forged elements. They include a compartment for fuel placement and are equipped with a tabletop.

  • Stationary option- It's not just a brazier. It is rather small architectural form. It is installed in one place on the foundation, respectively, it cannot be moved.
  • Barbecue ovens characterized by great diversity. They differ in their appearance, and user characteristics, their prices also vary in a fairly wide range.

  • For hiking it is convenient to use a disposable model, which is a tin pallet mounted on a fire-resistant support. A grate is placed on top, where the product blanks are placed. After the first use, the pallet is thrown away, because, under the influence of heat, it is deformed and covered with cracks.
  • Portable mechanism also useful for travelers. However, it lasts longer than the first option. This design looks like a grill with a brazier, which can be installed in several planes. This is quite convenient for small and large companies.

  • Barbecue in the shape of a cauldron has a domed lid, which causes a number of additional features. Such structures are protected from snow and rain, which means that a delicious dish can be prepared in any weather. Also, thanks to the lid, the barbecue works in oven mode, and this allows you to fry meat in large pieces or a whole bird carcass.
  • Barbecue cart- model on the built-in wheels. It can be quite easily moved from one area of ​​the local area to another. It has a shelf for storing firewood and coal and looks very aesthetically pleasing.

Other samples are also on sale. Products with an exhaust hood and a chimney are widespread, so any buyer can choose exactly the modification that fully meets his individual needs and capabilities.

Forms

The brazier of a brazier can have the most various look.

The most common modifications are:

  • Topless boxes are the most common and standard option.
  • Gutters with rounded bottom. Despite the incomprehensible name, in fact, such a brazier is a simple barrel or a gas cylinder that had its top cut off and converted into a brazier. This is a favorite model of home craftsmen, which serves as a decoration summer cottages many Russians.

  • A cylinder with a neck on top looks like a bottle. It is used for cooking karski shish kebab - it is a large piece of meat, comparable in size to the dimensions of a small plate. With this type of construction, the skewer is installed on the “neck”, which turns into a flow oven for the duration of cooking.

Stationary braziers, in turn, are divided into:

  • open;
  • semi-closed;
  • covered;
  • decorative.

Dimensions

In order for the brazier to fully meet your needs, it is very important to know technical features braziers different type, sizes and dimensions of its individual elements.

Wall thickness

This parameter directly affects the service life of the brazier: thin-walled products will last no more than 2 seasons, and models made of thickened metal will retain their operational features much longer. The recommended wall density is 3 mm or more. It is this size that protects the material from premature burnout and the occurrence of deformations.

Lenght and width

The width of the design depends on the length of the skewer. It must fit and stay on the walls of the barbecue. Therefore, with a standard rod size of 40 cm, the width of the barbecue should be determined at 30 cm.

As for the length, it is directly proportional to the number of skewers placed on the grill at the same time. The only thing to take into account is the recommended distance between them. It has been experimentally established that skewers should be placed at a distance of 8-10 cm from each other. If you stack them more tightly, then the meat may not be fried.

Depth

This is a very important criterion, on which the taste and aroma of barbecue largely depend. It is believed that the meat located 15-20 cm from the coals is the most fried and juicy. If the meat is closer to the coals, then it will become dry and may burn, and if you place it at a greater distance, it simply will not fry and will be raw inside.

Holes for ventilation

Users still cannot agree on the appropriateness of holes. Some consumers claim that they provide the necessary blowing, thanks to which the meat is better fried. Others argue that this device is for a "lazy cook", and the air flow can be freely provided with a fan.

The dimensions of the "ideal" brazier look something like this:

  • Width - 25 cm. This is enough to accommodate 6-7 small pieces of meat. With such a distance, heat from the side walls is evenly received by all pieces, even those located in the middle, so the meat turns out to be fried with a fragrant crust. If you increase the width, then the pieces in the middle will be without a crust.
  • Length - 100 cm. For an average company, as a rule, meat is cooked on 7-8 skewers at the same time. Considering that the distance between them should be 8-10 cm and 5 cm on both sides of the edge, this optimal value is calculated. It is not recommended to make the brazier longer. In this case, the cook will have to constantly move from one end to the other in order to work with a fan and turn the skewers.

  • Tank height - 20 cm- calculated based on the optimal distance between the meat and the coals, which is 15 cm, as well as the place for placing the coals.
  • It is advisable to use metal with a wall thickness of 2 mm. If the brazier is planned to be used on hikes, then sheet steel with a strength of 4-6 mm should be preferred.
  • The total height of the brazier depends on the size and height of the cook, but on average, a parameter of 1 meter is considered normal.

Advantages and disadvantages

The advantages and disadvantages of metal barbecues directly depend on the material from which they are made and its thickness. Let's take a closer look at the most popular varieties.

Iron brazier

The choice of iron braziers is great. They differ in their functionality, so it is very important to determine from the very beginning what you need a brazier for. If you plan to use the product on hikes and during picnics in nature, then you should purchase collapsible models made of thin-walled metal. They are lightweight, easy to assemble and disassemble, and are considered easy to transport and store.

However, there is a drawback - thin steel quickly burns out, so such barbecues are not recommended for igniting coals.

It is advisable to make a fire in another place, and as the fuel burns out, transfer the coals to the barbecue. In addition, such models have a limited length, which does not allow you to cook barbecue for a large company at the same time.

Barbecues with thick walls are more expensive than thin-walled ones. They are heavy and difficult to move. The advantages are also obvious: such braziers are resistant to high temperatures, they do not burn through, they heat up well and keep heat for a long time, providing uniform and fast cooking meat.

  • the absence of foreign flavors in the prepared dish;
  • the ability to work as an oven and ensure the highest quality roasting;
  • resistance to temperature extremes, moisture and other adverse environmental factors;
  • no tendency to corrosion.

The disadvantages are also significant:

Such models, as a rule, are made to order and have a rather high cost. They also differ in large dimensions and impressive weight.

stainless steel

Stainless steel models are economical options that are quite low cost. However, the price is perhaps the only advantage of such products.

The disadvantages are so significant that they make all the savings impractical:

  • Stainless steel quickly burns out, deforms and cracks under the influence of heat.
  • It does not retain heat well - this leads to an increase in fuel consumption, and much more time is spent on cooking barbecue.
  • Short term of use - stainless steel products last no more than 2 seasons, and with frequent use they last only one summer.

Material preparation

The main for the production of barbecue are metal sheets. It is not worth using additionally other materials, since it is the metal that provides the necessary heat power and the degree of heating of the structure.

To work on creating a standard brazier, you must use:

  • metal sheets 25x25 cm - 2 pcs;
  • metal sheets 24x25 cm - 2 pcs;
  • metal sheet 54x25 cm - 2 pcs;
  • pipes or corners - 70cm.

You will also need a tool for working with metal:

  • drill;
  • Bulgarian;
  • welding machine;
  • roulette.

Sheets of metal are used to create the bottom and side walls of the brazier, however, some craftsmen prefer a different mounting method.
