A brick barbeque will enhance any outdoor patio or family gathering area. Some basic construction knowledge is necessary - building a concrete pad and laying bricks.
The heart of the barbeque is usually provided by a standard, pre-built gas or charcoal barbeque that has been incorporated into the brick structure. Usually the bricks are no more than a facade around the exterior of a pre-built barbeque.
