This is one I made from some off cuts of square steel tube and some heavy duty mesh.
Hope the image comes out

Check out the grills available at TJM Metal works. He makes some quality kit and it's not too pricey either.

The coghlans are ok but warp quite quickly and soon become a mangled mess of a grill.
An alternative to the above two options is the small grill made by Robens. It's about £15 for the small grill, it's lightweight and even comes in a nice pouch.

For a camping grill I have an old BBQ one that I found in a skip. Just the grill part cut in half ... pretty robust ... balances on a few rocks just right. Not big ... 15", 16" long and semicircular; about enough for a fish or a couple of burgers
You could look at the purpose-made ones like the Coghlans foldable, or the ones made by Grilliput ... Personally, I sneer, but a friend much more capable than I swears by his and has twice gone to great lengths to retrieve if from distant sites where it accidentally got left at packing up time
They don't warp if you grill with embers taken aside from the fire - don't want to be using them as a stand to boil water over the open fire itself. They'll look like Heinz spaghetti in no time.
Oh, and a bag for it will be very handy. Dirtiest thing in the world, a recently used grill is, and a faff to clean when you're out.
There is also here, of course

One other thing you might consider is buying a Weber Q grill for the garden/carcamping (there is a range of them) and just take the grill plate with you if you are going to be using a fire. (Might be just a bit big for packing, though. Depends on how you roll)

I’ve been looking at titanium grills available on amazon and eBay, they seem fairly sturdy and better heat resistance than stainless.
Has any one tried them?

I've been using these for years with good results. They are light, cheap and effective.
I cut one down to half width with a hacksaw and that lives in a pouch on my bergan now.
Do you need to cook on it or just use it as a support for pots & pans over a bed of coals?
I got a bunch of junk oven racks. Over coals and not volcanic heat, they will last for years.
2 of them are hanging on trees at 2 favorite wilderness camping sites to stop at for hot drinks.
I can see that many others have used those grills and put them back.

Thanks for the great comments and advice. I have also been to the local recycling centre and collected racks from ovens - they are fine for the job and, even better, free!
