Hi All,
I am looking at cast the "trough" of my outdoor BBQ out of "concrete" (i.e. the bit where you light the charcoal). Can I used normal concrete with some reinforcing bars? I have assumed not but wondered if anyone had tried it?
I was pointed in the direction of "castable 1400" which is fine to
1400 deg c but this is very expensive (=A325/ bag). I was also wondering whether I switch regular cement with fondu cement and mix the concrete as usual would work? Also, is it OK to use reinforcing mesh/ bars? I was wondering whether they would expand within the concrete as they got hot and crack the whole thing?Any help appreciated.
thanks
Lee.
