Do you like dishes cooked on an open fire? Then a do-it-yourself tandoor is a great option for a summer vacation. Moreover, this useful Turkic device can be made from an old washing machine. How is this possible? We will tell in the article.
If you are interested in what can be done from a broken washing machine, then we suggest that you read the step-by-step instructions for collecting tandoor. This universal device uses the Tajik, Turkish, Armenian and Uzbek people. They have a brazier called toner and tandoor. How to inexpensively build a portable tandoor for a summer residence? Let's figure it out.
In an old washing machine, bearings flew. There is no point in repairing, but the drum can be used to make a mini-tandoor.
Remove the drum from the SMA housing. In the photo he is in the tank.
Disconnect all pipes, hoses and cuffs from the main part, remove from the tank.
Burn the surface with a burner. Brush for metal, removing residues of scale and powder, otherwise the kebab will give detergent.
In a metal drum, cover all openings with patches on the screws.
Lay the bottom of the tank with clay. It is compressed and will not penetrate through the holes, and also perfectly retain the heat inside.
Lay the recesses of the drum with clay so that it evenly enters the tank.
Of course, put all the side holes with clay, as shown in the photo.
For the manufacture of the device does not even need a drawing, everything is created along the way with your own hands. Moreover, a step-by-step "scheme" will help in this. Cover the top and rivet.
Prepare the legs from the rods, spinning them at your own discretion.
Weld a metal cross to the back of the tank.
Weld the legs to the cross.
To prepare a barbecue, you will need a grill grill or a homemade barbecue. The simplest way to make it is to weld from metal corners and skewers. To begin with, use a grinder to cut out a metal circle.
Weld to the center a long base on which to fix the skewer, as shown in the photo.
A simple horizontal tandoor is ready to run. As you can see, the device is easy to make for the house and the cottage itself. The dimensions of the furnace are small, so installation is possible even in a small yard. The meat in the oven is cooked on wood, so carry out the ignition after laying the wood. Small and medium hearth will require only 5-6 logs. Here's what burned coals look like:
If necessary, use a thermometer to find out the temperature of the coal. After packing the meat, lower the barbecue in the oven. Coals can be raked in advance, but then cooking will take longer.
Here is a real homemade tandoor.
If your equipment does not have a metal tank, this is not a problem. Brazier can be made simply from a drum. Using a screwdriver, screw the legs from the corners to the base.
Such a summer cottage project will perfectly save the family budget and allow you to enjoy aromatic dishes on charcoal.
And here is the brazier, which is much easier to do than the tandoor:
