Building Requirements
In this case, we will not even talk about the requirements for a summer kitchen with a barbecue and its project, but about the wishes of people regarding such facilities. We analyzed and systematized these wishes, as a result of which we got a certain general picture, which we decided to present to your court. What do people want from a summer kitchen with a barbecue?
- The barbecue oven should be placed under the roof of the summer kitchen or gazebo attached to the summer kitchen in a well-ventilated place.
- In addition to barbecue, it’s nice to have a Russian stove, grill, barbecue and stove with regular burners.
- It is desirable that a sink with a sink and a countertop be located near the stove and stove. All this will make cooking very convenient.
- In the summer kitchen with a barbecue, there should be a place to install a dining table. It is desirable that the place be in the air, but at the same time be well protected from the wind, the scorching sun and rain.
- The summer kitchen should have an enclosed space where the rest room will be located.
- The building should have a spacious veranda (not necessarily protected by a roof), where you can sit in good weather, lie down in a sun lounger and sunbathe.
The implementation of these wishes in a particular project will depend on the size of financial investments in construction and free space. It is necessary to try to ensure that the summer kitchen is as optimized as possible already at the stage of drafting the project. In some cases, you can get what you want by saving a lot, and the projects that we want to talk about next are an example of this.
If you need a complex
A complete summer culinary oven complex for a gazebo, garden, cottage (on the left in the figure below) is not just bulky, complicated and expensive. It makes sense to build it for individual use only on a personal plot, when the family literally lives in a gazebo in warm weather.

The situation changes when a smokehouse is needed. Simple designs provide stable conditions in the smoking cabinet at best during hot smoking in still warm weather. If smoking in the gazebo is supposed to be done regularly, fireclay is indispensable in the construction of the furnace. Technologically, construction is simplified, and the complex is more durable if it is built together with a capital gazebo on a normally buried foundation, because due to the large wingspan of the complex, it is much more sensitive to seasonal ground movements than a stove that is compact in plan.
For high-quality at least semi-cold smoking, the smoking cabinet must be high enough. In this case, the tent above the fire chamber will no longer fit. To ensure the required draft stability, it is necessary, firstly, to bring the chimney at least 4 m above the bottom of the combustion chamber. Secondly, the chimney is made 2 or 3 channels, see fig. This technique is widely used in homes with stove heating. The probability of wind blowing 2 smoke passages at once is small, and 3 is practically equal to zero.

Advantages and disadvantages of summer kitchens with a gazebo
There are many design options for such gazebos, but first you need to decide whether such a zone is needed at all in your dacha. To do this, we will turn to the opinion of specialists and owners of summer kitchens in the gazebo, and consider all the pros and cons of the construction of this facility.
Those who advocate the construction of summer kitchens with a gazebo argue this as follows:
-
in such gazebos it is very comfortable to cook in the hot season and there is no need to spend money on expensive air conditioning and ventilation of the kitchen in the house;
- the combination of two zones (cooking zone and dining zone) allows you to quickly and without unnecessary runs serve freshly prepared dishes to the table, while you will not be removed from the company while preparing the next dish, but will be able to actively participate in the conversations of your friends;
- it is known that in the fresh air any food is much tastier, and you can use this when trying to feed your little kids; and for adults, dinner in nature will always be covered with romance, which will strengthen your feelings;
-
in the hot season of summer preparations, an open gazebo in the country with a summer kitchen will become an indispensable workplace: after all, there is no need to be afraid to litter, trample and stain the floor with berry juice. When everything is boiled, sautéed and sterilized, you will not feel like you are in a hellish kitchen, because all the vapors will be carried away by a light summer breeze, leaving you with only the aromas of the dish you are preparing;
- and finally, here you can always gather a large number of guests and feed them with the freshest kebabs from the kitchen, equipped with a barbecue or barbecue.
As you can see, such arbors have many advantages, but there are also disadvantages. Let's consider the main ones:
- the construction of such gazebos is a rather costly undertaking, although if you build it yourself, you can save a lot;
- You can use the summer kitchen in the gazebo only during the warm season. Although who forbids the use of barbecue and barbecue in autumn or winter? After all, it’s always more comfortable to cook barbecue under a canopy than in the open air.
Based on the foregoing, we can conclude that there are no significant shortcomings in the construction of summer kitchens with gazebos
Therefore, it is worth considering in more detail what projects are offered by builders and what you should pay attention to when building a gazebo with a barbecue and barbecue with your own hands
