They have something bigger, but similiar, and easier to pack.

A super light weight grill is available here;

My thoughts are a 1 briquet charcoal grill.
Thanks for the links and ideas

leemann,
I curse you and the day you learned how to do InterWeb stuff.
Now the little hamsters in my brain are going to work on the 1-briquet idea. I know the Altoids tin is the obvious first choice, but I will have to come up with something different just to be contrary.
Have a good day

It's bascially a copy of the Esbit stove, from the looks of it.
One briquette, ok, probably. But a bunch of them will probably burn through the aluminum. You might want to try using the Sterno fordable stove/stand, and flipping it over with a bit of sheet steel (or better, expanded mesh) added- people have done similar for wood stoves, but charcoal can make a hotter fire than just wood can. (Or at least do it easier). Or the Isreali pocket cooker.
For something like the Esbit, there options with ethanol fired stoves, or a buddy burner.

Thanks MoBoB for the kind words LOL. They have used the Altoids can round and a fan guard to make one. Indistructables i think also I'm thinking on using a small green giant canned corn for one.

Its actually a British Army 1 man Hexi cooker copy (slightly more flimsy though). The stove is reusable and is made from steel.
You can also get a crusader metal cup holder which fits over the top of the stove. I suppose you could drill a series of holes along the top side of a cup holder and then thread half a dozen titanium tent pags through to make the grill.

I have a USGI one that would work too.
Thanks for the comments

I lucked out and have collected about 3 dozen sterno cans for free over the past few months. I went to a A/N and got a sterno stove top for about $10. Much too heavy for carry but for car, bug in or party needs, it will do just fine.
I like exibit stoves though haven't used one in years. I prefer my White Box stove with a few ounces of denatured alcohol.
