If the Soyuzgrill device can be simply taken by the handle and carried away, then this will not work with the Beryozka. The height of this miracle of barbecue construction is more than two meters, and the width is one and a half meters. We are talking, of course, about the frame.

A frame with a roof, a table for a brazier, a stove for a cauldron and even its own exhaust pipe - its design is very similar to the familiar samovar. Thanks to this design, the smoke from cooking meat does not sting the eyes.

And if you want to add more firewood, then in the lower part of the frame there is a convenient shelf for firewood. By the way, a cauldron, a poker with a scoop and a brush for cleaning ash are included in the set. And the stove itself under the cauldron can be removed if you suddenly need to increase the size of the brazier.

Despite its impressive size, the grill itself can be easily disassembled and stored for the winter.

2. Grillver Firecraft Comfort Air

dgh0vwazAverage price: 13,000 rubles

  • with a table
  • on wheels
  • length: 129.5 cm
  • width: 52.5 cm
  • height: 90 cm
  • weight: 36 kg

This luxurious beauty seems to have come straight from the glossy pages of a magazine onto your lawn. The stylish, black body, with red interior lining and shiny chrome details will add chic to your barbecue preparation!

But this model is not only good in appearance. It is made of thick and durable metal. The brazier is equipped with a perforated bottom, and ash boxes are provided for collecting ash, which, in addition to their direct function, also serve to supply air to the brazier.

Don't worry that the heat will spoil the appearance of the unit - as the manufacturer assures, this is a particularly durable paint coating that can withstand temperatures up to 700 °C and not lose face.

Another advantage of the grill is wheels with real rubber, which is rare among similar devices; manufacturers prefer to make do with cheap plastic. They are equipped with special shields to protect the bearings from external influences, dust and dirt.

In addition to the frame and grill itself, the grill is also equipped with a folding table, where you can conveniently place everything you need for shashlik. It also has a special holder for tools and a lower shelf with a drawer.

1. MD MD-2

1ifckfstIn Russian retail it costs 5,700 rubles
Characteristics:

  • wall thickness: 2 mm
  • with a table
  • length: 85 cm
  • width: 60 cm
  • height: 94 cm
  • weight: 26 kg

If the product from Grillver impresses with its modern design, then the creators of MD MD-2 went the other way and bet on antiquity. With its oval contours, and especially the original stand, suggesting the Art Nouveau style, it stands out against the background of its peers. And the semicircular base of the barbecue, in addition to aesthetics, also has a practical use - it is convenient to put firewood there.

In terms of price and quality, this is probably the best combination barbecue for a summer house in 2020. Its height is just right so that you can conjure over the grill while standing. A small wooden shelf is attached to one of the ends, and a wooden table is attached along the long side. However, as users say, the wood, although it looks impressive, quickly loses all its beauty from heat and ash. The varnish darkens, turns gray, and either you have to regularly clean it, sand it and repaint it, or choose an option with shelves made of metal mesh.

Pros: build quality, well thought out design, appearance, reasonable price.

Cons: wooden parts of shelves quickly lose their marketable appearance and burn out.

There is no need to worry that you won't be able to get close to the red-hot deer, because the structure itself hardly heats up. The brazier built into the deer's back has 4 mm thick walls, which guarantees its durability and resistance to deformation.

3. Brazier for 10 skewers from Balezinsky LMZ

tsojp0ksAverage cost - 9,700 rubles
Characteristics:

  • collapsible
  • body material: cast iron
  • length: 65 cm
  • width: 35 cm
  • height: 61 cm
  • weight: 37 kg

From a garden figure for aesthetes, we move on to a simple and honest product of Russian manufacture. The grill is considered stationary for a reason – it is made of real cast iron and has a corresponding weight. To make life easier for barbecue lovers, the creators made it collapsible (the legs can be unscrewed and the walls can be detached).

All this wealth is carefully packed in a wooden box, so it is possible to transport it, although it is difficult. If desired, the grill can be equipped with cast iron grates.

Let's add that cast iron is a durable and long-lasting material, so there is every chance that your grandchildren and great-grandchildren will grill shashlik on this grill. Apparently, with this effect in mind, the designers gave the grill a certain old-fashioned look - curved legs with decorative rings, and the walls are decorated with casting.

Pros: retains heat for a long time and does not deform from high temperatures.

Cons: capricious material requires special handling, heavy. Protect cast iron from rust! Then the product will serve you for many years.

  • weight: 39 kg

This stationary grill successfully combines both relatively small dimensions and an impressive working surface. This is a durable all-welded product, which is installed on a strong frame. The grill is covered by a roof with a chimney on top, and below, on a special semicircular grate, you can conveniently stack firewood. The steel thickness of the grill is 3 mm, so it will serve you for a long time.

If the work surface seems insufficient, you can hang tables on the ends, where everything necessary for the barbecue ceremony can be conveniently placed.

Pros: appearance, durability, convenience, reasonable price.

Cons: the structure cannot be disassembled, you won’t be able to transport it to the dacha on your own.

  • with a table
  • with a spit

  • height: 219 cm

But this is not just a barbecue, but a whole kitchen! A brazier and a woodpile are attached to a sturdy frame the height of an adult man. And to avoid weather conditions or flying birds from interfering with cooking, the barbecue also has a roof with a chimney.

To make the cooking process more convenient, a removable table made of laminated plywood is also attached to the frame.

The "Kitchen" is very durable and can remain outside all year round without any problems. It is so strong and heavy that, according to one user, even the hurricane winds of the Moscow region were not able to shake it. The frame itself looks discreet and solid, so even if it does not serve as a decoration for the site, it certainly will not spoil it.

Pros: endurance, lifespan, user convenience.

Cons: this size is not easy to transport.
