As I promised in my smoker build thread, I now make an separate thread about this brick oven/grill build.

Started this build last summer by getting first a good bunch of old bricks, thay had been sitting in the woods for maybe 10-20 years. Got them for 50 bucks. It's very hard to find old and used bricks here where I live, I love the look of them. No way I would have done this build of new bricks.
Then was a good bed needed to be done. As we have cold winters here, a insulated concrete bed was needed to be done. Inside is a quite rubust metal mesh of course. This was done last fall(2018).
So, the plan was to start the build directly in the spring, but there was so much of other things to do, so it got delayed. But after the holiday finally had time to start laying bricks. My wife has been helping, this whole thing was her idea to start with.
Well, my experience with bricks is about twentyfive years ago when we made a new flue with my uncle.
