Q: Dear Dr. BBQ,
I am planning to build a brick (fire brick) BBQ and I’m looking for info or advice on design. It will not be a huge one but will include an oven that will burn both wood and gas. The BBQ feature may be homemade, or I could go the easy route of buying an insert. Any sites or experience with such an animal?

A: Hi Joel,
This is a question that comes up often. There was a book published by Sunset books a long time ago that is often praised but I must admit I’ve never tackled this project before. I will someday. Here are a couple good web sites that should get you off to a good start. I expect you’ll want to customize it to fit your needs anyway.
