Brick BBQ Grill Guide PDF in German – Chimney, Foundation, Firebrick, Outdoor Kitchen, Costs

Seller's description

An 85-page A4 PDF e-book (in German) on building a brick barbecue grill: from building law and location to foundation, firebrick lining and flue to the outdoor kitchen – with 26 figures, 22 building steps, costs at 3 levels and checklists.

Written by a carpenter with hands-on experience. One worked example runs through the whole guide – a brick grill 1.62 m wide with chimney, two side shelves and a wood bay, plus an optional 2.0 m kitchen unit with sink – so every dimension, quantity and calculation is concrete. You can repeat the calculations with your own dimensions. A separate chapter shows what you can prepare yourself for water, gas and electricity and where licensed trades take over.

PLEASE NOTE: THE PDF IS IN GERMAN. Legal information (building law, chimney sweep, fuels, neighbor law) refers to Germany.

IMPORTANT
A guide for orientation, as of October 2026. The e-book is a detailed guide with building instructions for one example model (brick grill 1.62 m wide with chimney, optional 2.0 m kitchen unit); you derive other dimensions yourself using the calculations. It does not replace legal advice, professional planning or structural engineering. Whether a brick grill is permit-free, which distances apply and whether the chimney sweep requires an inspection differs between German states and municipalities – please check with the building authority and the district chimney sweep before you start, and with the landlord or owners' association if you rent or own an apartment. Connections to the drinking-water supply only by a registered installer, outdoor electrical work only by a qualified electrician, fixed gas lines only by a licensed gas fitter; install a built-in gas grill strictly according to the manufacturer's installation instructions. On slopes, fill or difficult ground involve a structural engineer or soil surveyor. Costs are guide values. Follow manufacturer instructions and the accepted rules of the art.
