Some things you don’t just build. You live them.
This book began with a simple idea: build a stone barbecue with your own hands, in a garden in the Italian Alps, without shortcuts and without pretending to be professionals. What came out of it was a real project, a real friendship, and a book that shows every single step exactly as it happened — through authentic photographs, not illustrations or renders.
A Real Project, Not a TheoryYou don’t need to be an expert mason. You don’t need perfect conditions. You only need the decision to start. This book walks you through the entire journey of building a solid, functional stone barbecue — from choosing the right spot in your yard to lighting the very first fire.
