How to make a barbecue from an old gas stove
Needless to say, many of us have a tendency to clutter the barn with used appliances - refrigerators, gas stoves, washing machines - maybe it will do. And this can go on for years, until one fine day all this stuff goes to a metal collection point.
Today we will talk about a much more noble option for using an old gas stove - you can build a good grill out of it.

Tools and materials
You won't need much to get the job done. It is clear that you cannot do without an old gas stove; you will also need a steel grate. For example, from the refrigerator. The tools you will need are:
- electric drill with metal drills;
- Bulgarian;
- screwdriver or screwdriver.
Rework process
We will follow the path of least resistance. We still won’t be able to achieve some miracle of design thought, so there’s no point in perverting it. We are faced with the following task: remove the top platform, burners and innards from the stove. There is no point in removing the handle or door. They won't interfere.
Removing the cover
If you can’t dismantle the top platform with a screwdriver, someone will help us in this matter. Bulgarian. As in the case if the grate turns out to be significantly larger than the vacant area, it can also be trimmed to the required size. You can also use a baking tray of the appropriate size or use skewers.
Attention! Do not use an enamel grill.Take ordinary stainless steel.
Smoke removal and ventilation
For the chimney you need to do the following. Cut or drill into the back wall of the slab hole with a diameter of 60-120 mm, where to insert the corresponding pipe with an elbow. But this is optional; it is quite possible to do without a chimney.
Several 15-20 mm holes are drilled at the bottom of the utility box for air flow.
Hearth
I recommend leaving it one baking tray at the bottom of the oven, above which a grid with a fairly small mesh is installed. The wood will burn on it. After burning, the coals will fall into the pan, and can then be easily removed.
That, in fact, is the whole alteration. Cheap and cheerful, just right for a dacha. Quite a transportable thing, by the way, and even with legs. If your soul wants some kind of aesthetics, then welcome to the store.
