Outdoor Firepit Cover
how to mix heat proof/fire proof cement for a bbq?
I’m looking to build an outdoor barbeque/firepit. It’s a particular style of bbq that I saw in argentina that resembles a stone oven. I need to make a slab about 3-4 inches thick that will be the surface where the fire/coals will rest on. This surface will have brick walls on three sides and a cover above. From memory I know that cement/concrete cracks, pops, expodes when you have a fire or high heat on it.
Is it possible to mix in more rocks, or more sand or something to make it heat proof? Or is a totally different product needed?
With all due respect, I’ve been in the trades a long time, and fire/heat resistance isn’t so much an issue with concrete, especially a slab that thick. I use premix all the time and have BURNED on it with no problems ever.
Your issue should more relate to the type of brick, IE: as in FIRE BRICK. Beyond that, unless your building a FORGE, or super heating with some High level combustable, wood or coals alone will not create enough heat to crack concrete.
