Building an Outdoor BBQ and Fireplace with Metal Framing

I’m going to use metal studs to build the structure for the Fireplace and BBQ. The advantage of using this over wood is the metal can’t rot and is fireproof. I haven’t built using metal framing that much, so it is going to be somewhat of a learning curve for me.

Very rarely to never post. Well done walkthrough. Appreciate the thoroughness, enough technical info as well as working out the inevitable surprises. Exactly what I have been searching youtube for. Keep it up!

Thanks, I appreciate the comment.

Love the shape of the fireplace surround! ❤

[@BruBuilds]

Thanks for the comment, glad you liked it!

[@tandibyrne5481]

You can build a bbq for me anytime! Nice work.

[@BruBuilds]

Thanks

[@drjonritz]

Nice work

[@BruBuilds]

Thanks

One of the better walk through vids I have seen. Ty. Where are the cabinet doors from?

[@BruBuilds]

@michaeljuliano2869 Thanks, I'll talk more about the doors in a future video. We tried going with Vevor, but had customer service issues. Ended up purchasing Kodom brand directly from Amazon.
They were the only cheap ones I could find with a wide flange.

Thanks. Looking fwd to the next video

Great video. When will the stucco video come out for fireplace and outdoor kitchen? Thanks!!!

[@BruBuilds]

Thanks, it will be a bit still, between the weather, work, other projects, and finally deciding what to do for countertops, the fireplace stucco has been on pause. I'm working on part two of the fireplace now.

Laughed harder than I should have at the silence starting at 7:15 😂

[@BruBuilds]

Thanks, too funny to cut out.

[@tandibyrne5481]

Way to go Tom Hanks!!! Where’s Wilson?

[@BruBuilds]

Bonus for those who watch until the end. HA

Great video, what width of the metal studs did you use? Sorry if I missed that in the video. Looks like 3.625" and not 2.5" correct? And I saw G60 on your beams. I was thinking G90 since I live in a wetter\humid area. Thoughts?

[@BruBuilds]

Thanks, yes they are the 3.625” wide studs. G90 might be a good idea. I went to an industrial supply place and asked for outdoor structural studs but they ended up giving me two different types. But much better than what HD was selling.

[@user-bd2xj7oy6l]

@@BruBuilds Thanks for the info! Again, really good video. Keep making them!

Will any gas firebox work? I’m trying to do something similar to this in my backyard. Can you post a link to the firebox you used?

[@BruBuilds]

We put in a ventless unit, so an exhaust pipe or chimney isn't necessary. There are less code requirements for a ventless fireplace. www.majesticproducts.com/fireplaces/outdoor/courtyard-gas-fireplace

[@taylor7701]

What CAD software did you use?

[@BruBuilds]

It’s called Lightwave3D. Its an animation program for movies and TV, not really a CAD program. I’ve used it for years on different projects. I think I have the 2010 version.

[@user-zq2iw3sb7p]

Was this 22 gauge or 25 gauge steel you used?

[@BruBuilds]

22 gauge. But I bought some from HD and it wasn’t nearly as stiff, so I took it back.

[@BruBuilds]

Actually it was 20 guage

Where is the cement board video? It goes straight from this video to the concrete counter tops.

[@BruBuilds]

The concrete countertop video was a test top to see I do actually do it. I'm working the video for part two of the fireplace now which will include, gas, electrical and cement board. Thanks for watching.

[@Jesus1love7]

Can you make this design to burn wood and not fas?

[@Jesus1love7]

Sorry gas.

[@BruBuilds]

A wood burning fireplace would have more code requirements. What is nice about a vent-less gas fireplace is there is no need for a chimney or exhaust vent. Code wise this is considered to be a fire pit.

[@ashrafsabik3078]

Can u please share us the planinig work like computer files or sheet printsreen?

[@BruBuilds]

@ashrafsabik3078 I use a 3d animation modeling program, which isn't really a CAD or building program. Are you wanting drawing that you could build from?

[@ashrafsabik3078]

I see, im planing outdoor kitchen, and ur vedio was the most helpfull i ever seen, i will follow it step by step and see the materials and ur teps
It we will be useful i think
Thnks

[@BinghamtonInvest]

​@BruBuilds which software is that?

[@BruBuilds]

@BinghamtonInvest it is called Lightwave3D

[@ashrafsabik3078]

Google sketchup its fine

[@csizec]

Any chance youd share the plans?

[@Jinzolord2011]

I would definitely would like to have this.

[@BruBuilds]

Unfortunate I don't real have any building plans that I share. I use an older 3D modeling program to design my stuff.
