My attempt at making a brick barbecue may not look too neat - I was using old bricks and breezeblocks from the back of the garden, but it's pretty solid.

I'm about half way through, as I grossly underestimated the ammount of mortar it takes to stick a bunch of bricks together. I've popped to B&Q today for the next load of sand. It's surprisingly satisfying to actually make something big and solid like that.
