Building Instructions
LARGE EXCALIBUR BARBECUE KIT
BKB800 RANGE
Congratulations on choosing a Black Knight
barbecue kit. You are obviously not daft so
turning your metal work and your pile of bricks
into a fine looking barbecue should be no
problem at all.
First the obvious stuff.
•
Make sure you choose a site for your barbecue that is flat and at least
1.5 metres away from fences and not underneath anything (trees,
washing lines, etc.) and, of course, well away from flammable materials
•
Secondly, set out your metal parts before you start to build and always
use the cooking grill as a guide to check the measurements are correct
throughout the building process – this will ensure your walls don’t start
to splay outwards or inwards.
It is not necessary to lay foundations but it is necessary to start on a
solid, level surface.
1) Set the bricks out dry to two brick height and check dimensions are
correct and the angles are square using the grill from your kit. Draw
a line around the inside dimensions as a guide (figure 1)
2) Mix sand and cement (ratio 6 parts sand,1 part cement) then add
water mixing until there are no lumps and the mix, when laid, is
workable but not runny. A small amount of washing up liquid will
make the mix easier to work.
3) Lay the first course of bricks along the rear first and then add the
side wall bricks checking they are square and level. If any bricks are
out of line, just tap them back into line with the end of you trowel
handle.
4) Start the second course of bricks with a corner brick (figure 2) to
make half bond. Carry on around the course and finish with a half
brick on the front on each of the side walls. Bricks can easily be cut
using a sharp blow from the hammer and bolster chisel. Carry on
with this pattern until you reach the 6th course - checking levels and
angles throughout.
5) When reaching the sixth, eighth, tenth and twelfth courses, set out
the side walls as shown in figure 3, ie: cut the front and back bricks
to ¾ size, with a whole brick for the middle, ie: ¾ bonding.
6) On the seventh, ninth and eleventh courses, use one half brick for
the front of the side walls and then place 3 bricks sideways on as
shown in figure 4.
7) Check your brickwork is square and level using the grill and spirit
level, then go round all the joints with a pointing trowel, smoothing
to a nice and tidy finish.
Dependent on the weather conditions, leave for approx. 20–60
minutes, then clean the brickwork with a clean, soft brush.
