Build Your Own Backyard Concrete Block Grill: easy

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.

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!

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.

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.

Good job! I use 16" square pavers for a base. Makes clean out a lot easier, keeps things workable shortly after a rain.

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...

This is excellent. It's so simple and obvious as to whatever modifications you can add or subtract. Thank you

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.

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.

Simple, cheap, and effective. Great job. Thank you for your time

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!

yes that is the way I started to go thank you very much for your input and your immediate response blessings to you sir

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!

This is Nice and simple, thank u for your time.

Simple yet badass

Im a handful of years late but this is fantastic! Simple and effective. Thank you Sir

I love coming across videos like this when regular joes show you how it's done! Great job Dr. Stewart!

Thanks for this video. And for being so Detailed. I wish you showed how to level out the ground at the beginning. Take care

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!

Now THIS... I can do!!🥰
