Hey all.
When I bought my house a few years back, I had to have some work done to my back yard. So, I found design for an authentic southern style brick bbq. I built the cost of the BBQ into my mortgage.
It has a fireplace on one side where you burn down the hickory (or whatever wood you are using) to coals. You then transfer those coals to another fireplace with a steel door. Above it is another opening with a steel door where you place your meat.
You do this every 45 minutes or so, burning wood down to charcoal and transferring the charcoal.
I only fire it up once ever couple of months, but it is quite a show stopper. I think the stone and brink creates an even heating environment and while labor intensive, it's fun to work on a Saturday or Sunday.
Does anyone out there have anything similar or am I the only nut job?
