Enjoy this new video: • DIY: Build a Landscape...
A BIG thank you to all that have watched my video! Recently we cracked the One Million view mark! This was impossible without you!
So how is my grill doing after three years? Check this out!
• My Grill: 3 Yrs & One ...
Here is how I built an inexpensive concrete block grill at the end of my patio; follow the steps and you can build one also!! Click on this link for a follow video of Cooking on a Concrete Block Grill:
• Cooking on a Concrete ...
Concrete Block Smoking Grill Material List
22 8”x8”x16” concrete blocks
4 8”x8”x8” half concrete clocks
1 48”x40” metal mesh
1 2”x2”x48” steel angle iron
7 2”x8”x16” flat concrete blocks
(The entire grill is 48” long, 40” wide, and 34” tall)
Holy Moly. I remember 1971. I had a neighbor two houses down the street, and the occupants at that time were Vietnam refugee's who were trying to escape the horrors of their country at that time. I was only 6 years old at the time, yet I would, along with my younger brother, walk over, and play around in their back yard. The little Vietnam kid was our age, and was named Damon. And although the grill was constructed by the post WW2 veterans, they were using it to great effect. I will never forget that in that backyard, was an exact inexpensive concrete block grill like the one that you put together in this video. Exactly the same. Thank You for sharing. Now I know how to upgrade my BBQ skills.
thanks for sharing that story! and thanks for watching!
My pleasure. I had a few beers and was feeling sentimental. Great video!
Do you ever remember that grill exploding? These are very dangerous and have a very high explosion rate! Safety first!!!
😂😂😂@@troyellis8692
I thought the building process was very straightforward and I like the way you gave the material lists upfront BEFORE the project began. I love the simplicity of it yet how functional it can be for grilling and possible smoking. GREAT JOB!
THX for watching!
Now THIS... I can do!!🥰
Wish you the best with your project; just remember: there is more than one way to build this; research it a bit. And thanks for watching!
I have made many of these here in Texas.....good job! The only difference is on mine i get a single block with the hole facing into the pit to get some air circulation for the fire. I just use either a rag or rock to control the air flow. This way on those days when there is no wind you can stick a small fan at the back of the pit to create heat.I also use aluminum siding panels and make a flat roof to catch some smoke for smoking meats and it protects the meat from any unexpected rain.
All sounds great! Thanks for watching and have a great year!
please load your video of this
please load tour video of backyard it sounds interesting
Do a video please
Do you put the hole above the grate?
Good job! I use 16" square pavers for a base. Makes clean out a lot easier, keeps things workable shortly after a rain.
Thanks and thanks for watching!!
Thank you for the video, it could not be better. It's cheap, easy to make and I can even put everything in storage in winter (I'm in Canada). Awesome. Thank you again.
Just built your set up with my son. We are using it as a fire pit at the end of our patio. It was easy and the kids love it. I did flip the bottom middle block on its side to allow air flow to the fire. It worked great! Constant rolling flames. Thanks for the video!
nice work; enjoy it; and thanks for watching!
Hey, quick question did you flip all the bottom blocks over or just a couple for air control?
@@tediggs42Looks like just one brick, the bottom middle
Great design
Thank you and thank you for watching!
Looks good. One thing I have found is that the half blocks have a slot made into them. You can use the slot to support a grill... that way you can have your fire at 8,12,16 20 inches depending on how you stack them. I used a grill grate out of a unit that was worn out but the gratings were in good shape. Worked great... Ribeyes were perfect!!!!
Happy grilling ya'll!!!
Thanks for watching!
My grandfather built two of these many many years ago, one in his backyard and one at his other property which his son lives in. I want to build one in my back yard! Thank you for this!
Thanks for watching!
My grandpa built his nearly 40 years ago. And the thing is still beautiful. Red brick and plenty of space for your steaks and hot dogs. It drools American!
Did he use mortar? Or just a dry install like this?
@@brink5589 Yes he used mortar
@@tombraver6449 so your grandpa's was built properly and looks nice so it's actually not like this then
This is excellent. It's so simple and obvious as to whatever modifications you can add or subtract. Thank you
thanks so much and thanks for watching!
Simple, cheap, and effective. Great job. Thank you for your time
And thank you for watching!
Im a handful of years late but this is fantastic! Simple and effective. Thank you Sir
This is easy to build myself! Thank you for sharing. It's actually gorgeous, enough cooking surface space, and I can build side counter tops.
Wish you the best, and thanks for watching!
Молодец мужик! Основательно подготовился к этому видео!
Thanks for watching!
Simple yet badass
thanks for watching!!
Wow, My Dad built one of those when I was akid in the 60"s. A lot of good family times we had !!!!!!
Wow thanks....looks easy..will show my wife so she can make it lol
She can build it and then cook on it for you while you watch sports on TV! Thanks for watching!
Rj Jones lmao
Rj Jones lol
you saying it is funny if a muslim says it then we make a big deal out of it and we go to middle east to give then freedom LOoOoOooOoOL
@@bftigdd WTF 🤔
I love this!!!
Thank you and thanks for watching!
I love coming across videos like this when regular joes show you how it's done! Great job Dr. Stewart!
And thanks for watching!
Thanks! This is great! No big deal, nothing fancy just an outdoor grill that works without a large price tag Hey why not Thanks Doc
And thanks for watching!
What a gorgeous demonstration! I am not very technical but you explained it in a way I could understand and clever details like offsetting the blocks which I would have never thought of...
Thanks for watching! God bless you richly this Christmas season!
Thanks for watching; try this for the cover and hibachi grill; th-cam.com/play/PLfEvv1pTLzTewPaq2VEsos4nVFZPPXtSw.html
Guarantee Miss Martha is in the kitchen right now cookin him up a nice little snack for his lunch here at about 1030am
Thx for watching.
That was incredible, great idea for a quick, temporary-permanent grill for family gathering. It looks a bit low but still effevtive. Can't wait to start!
Low? Just like a ground level camp fire. Thanks for watching!
This is Nice and simple, thank u for your time.
thanks for watching! enjoy your fire.
Well I made 1 except I went 2 levels of bricks higher and with 2 large cooking trays that gave me 2 levels of height to cook with. I wanted my meat higher (Say if it is half chickens) because I thought that the meat height to fire ratio was too close. Out here I have a lot of post oak among among other trees but some of these pieces can be large and I don't or won't have to use little pieces preparing my wood sizes. Started a fire immediately after I put it together and grilled some axis deer burgers. They cooked fast and even and delicious had the wood flavor etc. It's something that I want to cook on. It looks fantastic out here to. Thanks Dr. Stewart this is a winner.
nice; Thanks for watching!
When I was very young I use to see the remains of these grills in the corner of the old timers back yards. Hell my grandparents had what was left of one in there yard. This really brings back memories.
That was in the early 70s.
So I would have to guess they were common at most yards in the 50s-60s.. Again the ones I saw back then were broken up and had weeds growing through them. They must have been out of fashion. I believe with gas lines attached to New gas grills replaced them.
The ones I saw were in pieces.
Never got to see one in its glory..lol
Thanks..
I do remember they were cemented together back then.
Or what was left of them.lol
Thank you for the comment; And thanks for watching!
I love it, no poured concrete, no b.s. looks amazing, buddy
Thank you! And thanks for watching!
Im building mines the same way without filling it with concrete. Might just want to move it one day. Thanks for the video.
Yes, there are benefits of not using concrete, and I am thinking of revamping mine next spring. Thanks for watching and Merry Christmas to you!
Mines?
Yeah That's a good ideal. I would think it would be easier to mod it later on if you decided too. Like add another shelf, make it wider, longer, etc...
This is great. I have a shity back so my only tweaks to this would be to make it one more layer higher, raise the floor by a level with some paving stones and the dirt I used to level it and pound a few bars of rebar into the ground for a pinch of support. This bbq is fantastic as is though and will last a long long time..
thanks for watching!
Thanks for this video.
And for being so Detailed.
I wish you showed how to level out the ground at the beginning.
Take care
Thanks for watching! I just raked over the area until I thought it was smooth;
Thanks for posting. What kind of material is the grill made out of? Is it coated with anything harmful? Will it rust? That is like the most important part.
Material? The grill is just a metal mesh 1/8 inch thick. It is not coated with anything and yes-it could rust like any metal. But after five years the grill part still looks good. Thanks for watching!
This pit takes me back when I was growing up. Everyone had a pit like this. A few people added brick to the outside of the block and added a chimney .
I added a diamond plate cover and plan to use the grill as much as possible; thanks for watching!!
I like it. its a mobile grill
Armon Stewart
Awesome build...takes me back to child hood days..They used mining dryer screens from the coal mines alot...awesome stainless grates for grilling
This is an old school way of making a fire pit/grill. I would probably go another route in order to make it more stable and permanent....good share for some who maybe didn't realize how easy this could be..
Thank you! Sir. Looks like a fantastic grill, you've given me some great ideas here we'll go out this weekend and buy the material. Fantastic video.thank you kindly.
I have one of these in my front yard . I seriously love it . I am not normally allowed to have a fire in the city limits but with this and a burn permit (free) I can now have my soul saving fire . Thank you for posting this how to video .
Thanks for watching and enjoy your fires!!
@@SStewartBibleProduction Absolutely ! Thanks again !
Excellent! Now I can get rid of our 3 or 4 grills that we are constantly dragging around! Lol!
Thank for sharing, sir. This is looks simple to make and I am going to make one for my family🥰
Enjoy your project, and thanks for watching!
Awesome Video. Thanks for taking the time to put it together. I have a whole bunch of blocks from underneath an old house I tore down. They will be great to re purpose into a grill.
sound great! Thanks for watching!
I LOVE this one very simple safe and easy. Good job
Thanks and thanks for watching!
THANK you for the shopping list !!!! Going to build this next weekend!!
Did u ever build it?
@@hungry4205 I DOUBT HE DID
Thanks for the materials list right off the bar! Excellent video!
Thanks for watching!
My father built a big firebox using the concrete blocks. He used it to burn trash. The concrete blocks this man is using is the same as what my father used. Since these blocks were not fireproof/heat resistant, all the concrete crumbled into dust. You should use something designed for fire, or buy a shovel to scoop up the concrete rubble.
Nice suggestion; He probably burnt trash much than I will cook out in this grill. After three years it is in tip top shape. Thanks for watching!
This off grid prepper girl loves this. I can do it myself with little expense. I'm seeing a Rocket Mass stove/oven next to it, yea. That's what I'm talkn' about
Thanks so much! And thanks for watching!
Mister thanks is a great idea ... specially cause I can remove it the summer
Thanks I send you my gratitude
For sharing your ideas
yup; it is totally moveable; thanks for watching!
Why don’t you BBQ in the summer time...?
I’d be using it all year round. Especially in the summer! Beats heating up the kitchen by turning on the oven or stove
@@mikeo6525 I have used the concrete block grill in every season; works great in light rain also;
He built a Solid Grill, Awesome!
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Whoever’s dad this is should be proud
Thanks for watching!
Brilliant. I am building this tomorrow for tomorrow night's braai.
enjoy it! and thanks for watching!
Heck yeah makes me want to make one. Can’t be any easier. You rock sir . Keep on keeping on.
Great! Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching!
This is just what i was looking for. Thanks for sharing
Thank you for watching!
Great idea. Good job Sir.
I can’t wait to do this.
Thanks for watching! Wish you the best.
yes that is the way I started to go thank you very much for your input and your immediate response blessings to you sir
This is the easiest of all the videos I've watched. Thank you, I'm doing this tomorrow
Dinny Ketodiva Ketoliciousaf thank you for watching.
This is so nice! I am in the process of rounding up my materials! Can't wait to get started!

Cool ,simple ,easy and fast save a lot of $$$$$$
it works pretty nicely; thanks for watching!!
Thanks for sharing good 😊 ideas 💡 God bless you
And thanks so much for watching!!
About to save us a lot of money and didn’t even have to switch to Geico 😂 Thank u so much for sharing this with us . We will be using this to build ours this weekend thank uuuuu thank uuuu 💋
Funny post about Geico! Thanks for watching!
Fast, cheap very easy to make, good job thank you for sharing
thanks and thanks for watching!
Great video! Thanks for posting.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video. I've built a few of these types. I usually clock one of the rear 1st level blocks 90* so the holes face the fire for air draw. Lined the inside of mine with fire brick as Ive had the block crack while using it in cold weather. Thats just me though. Again, thanks for the vid.
Thanks for watching!
Back in the 60s and 70s late 80s love it
Just an inexpensive way to grill out; thanks for watching!
nice, I love the simplicity. thank you,
Love it nice and simple.
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Just for stability I'd add rebar to keep bricks from moving otherwise great BBQ
great idea; thanks for watching!
Dr. Stewart Productions great video! Do you get much rain where you live? I live in the east coast, lots of rain... I think it would need a more solid foundation here. Maybe I’m wrong tho
@@mikeo6525 Central NC gets moderate rain; and a person can build one of these with a foundation of concrete or gravel; modify it how you wish.
Filling the holes in the blocks with pea gravel will help make it stronger and stable as well.
John Campbell good idea. Thx for watching!
Looks amazing greets from Holland
A big thanks to you in Holland! And thanks for watching!
Thank you. I appreciate your putting up this video. / I was thinking, if on one side, I placed a cap stones underneath one of the top blocks, instead of on top of it, I could use the two exposed holes to hold some BBQ tools. Also, I would like to have a double row of blocks on the other side, completely cap stoned off, so I could have a wider surface area to set pots, platters, supplies, etc... on.
good suggestion; thanks for watching!

Man I’m so thankful for this video.
Use two alunium foundation vents 8X16 on bottom level for adjustedble air for fire.Height same as a 8x8x16 block
Never thought of that. Thanks for watching!
Nice job! I made one year's ago like this, we had a lot of cook outs on it with the whole family, loved it!
this works fast cheap simple
thanks and thanks for watching!

Can you roast a pig on this?
Far out ! I think I have these materials in my barn. Thanks for the idea.
great stuff! Thanks for watching!
Thank You so much! This is exactly what I was looking for. This is what I am going to construct in the backyard this spring. Thanks Doc! I'll send you pics when I complete it. What a great find. I gave thumbs up and subscribed!!!
great; thanks for watching; will be looking for your pics!
Sweet. I’m stealing this idea.
You don't have to steal the idea because I just shared it with you. Enjoy your project. And thanks for watching!
Me to
very very nice tutorial
i had an uncle growing up he built one very similar too this one..his bbqs were always great and the bbq lasted for many many years
Thanks for watching! And I hope mine last for many years!
I dont have tools or skills. This is something even i can do.
Thanks for watching; here is a video of cooking on the grill; watch this for ideas; th-cam.com/video/sPHEM4XvLCE/w-d-xo.html
Not a fan of a large open hole on one side. The way we do it is on each side you lay a block on its side so it has holes to allow air and to add more wood. Or you can do that on two sides. However, it has to be nice split pieces of wood to fit through the holes. Either way, it is a nice easy build and it is not perminite.
Thanks for the comment; and thanks for watching!
YOU GOT MY VOTE. THANK YOU.
thanks and thanks for watching!!
You are so awesome!!! I absolutely love it!!! thank you for posting!!!
You are so kind. Thanks for watching!
this was good and informative, thanks
Wow...Good job Sr,excellent idea,easy,cheap and longer duration,thanks x Compartir
Jose Betancur Thanks and thanks for watching!
is that metal lath? Doesnt look like it, but then you said everything could be had at a big box store...
Impressive and a good value this video and comment section gets me really excited about grilling and grilling accessories
Thanks for watching! I really love the smoke smell that drifts across our property all across our neighborhood! Just love to sit outside and watch the cooking.
They are concrete blocks. No cinders in them.
I realize that; the term cinder blocks goes back along time ago; Thanks for watching!
This is excellent. Well done! (If you pardon the pun)!
Thanks and thanks for watching!
good job! Easy and basic!
Great video and grill idea. I was looking to build a fire pit, but this is much better and more useful!
Thanks for watching!
I built one as a teen in years ago don't really need to measure it can be done by eye
Thanks for watching!
Awesome job.
Love the cicadas in the back ground, that to me is the sound of summer...love it.
Thanks for watching!
Out of all the grill video's I have checked out. Yours is the best!
But because I have back issues I think I will build up one more level.
Do you think there will be a problem?
Don't see why you cannot rise it up one more level; I actually have been debating on revamping my grill and rising it up; but I also like the ground level camp-fire feel of it. Thanks for watching!
built one and I put a plywood top on it and a front door. Smokes meat great. Venison back straps, chicken, ribs, all good. Got all my stuff for free, cant beat it. Thinking of making some adjustments and making a pizza oven, grill, smoker.
Totally caveman! Very cool and great build presentation! Thanks for the lesson!! Subbed!

Nice grill how would you make one into an oven
Good question; not sure but I would need a few more blocks; thanks for watching!
Love this not so hard how I thought it will be
Thanks for watching!
Dude got to the third course and completely forgot his pattern...LoL
Dr Stuart forgetting what his plans are. Sure hope not like this in surgery.
Nice job! My 8 yr old son and I will be doing this. Awesome
