Fireplace oven - features and benefits

It is a closed stove, which can be installed both in the restaurant and in the courtyard of a country house. The classic charcoal oven works on charcoal and can be used in several ways: as a barbecue, grill or oven. The principle of operation of the barbecue oven is based on an adjustable thrust: there is an air intake in the bottom of the device, and an opening for the release of smoke in the upper part. Thanks to this oven can be used even in enclosed spaces, it is absolutely fireproof. This device is partly reminiscent of the Spanish oven "chosper", an Armenian tandoor or a classic Russian oven, but it has its undeniable advantages. They include the following:

• any food cooked in a closed oven will be "with a smoke". This unique taste and aroma gives a special zest to any dish prepared in the oven;
• The time of heat treatment of products baked in such an oven will be much less than when cooking in a frying pan or in the oven. This is achieved by a higher temperature;
• some models are equipped with smokehouse and allow not only to cook shish kebab and barbecue from meat, vegetables or fish, but also make delicious smoked foods on their own;
• the possibility of cooking barbecue is another of the nuances that distinguishes the barbecue from the usual open barbecue.

Some models of furnaces work not on wood, but on charcoal. The material of the furnace itself can also differ - popular are brick-and-steel and black-steel barbecues. Cooking is also recommended in a specially designed dishes, because not all kitchen utensils can be used for open fire.

Mangals for dacha own hands

Some folk craftsmen make kilns by their own hands. What is needed for this? First, choose the right place - closer to the kitchen and away from the green spaces. In addition, it is better to place the oven in such a way that it is closed from gusts of wind. Since the object is stationary, all these moments must be carefully thought out in advance, so that you can not rework the work.

First under the furnace you need to mount the foundation, on it lay out the first tier of the wall. Then, at a comfortable height, we have a tabletop that will serve for cooking, and an opening for the oven, which can be rectangular or arched. It is advisable to lay a water pipe in the wall of the stove, and in the construction itself, to install a sink, so that cooking becomes more convenient, and there was no need to leave the barbecue for the kitchen.

Then comes the second level, which includes the walls of the stove and the furnace. Walls are usually erected in half a brick, they perform only a decorative and aesthetic function. It is much more important to properly mount the furnace. The inner part of it must be made of refractory bricks, and the construction itself is laid out according to a special scheme.
