Those useless little stands out of microwaves that grill would do the trick. I have a spare somewhere...

Hey Guest, Early bird pricing on the Summer Moot (29th July - 10th August) available until April 6th, we'd love you to come. PLEASE CLICK HERE to early bird price and get more information.
If its just for billy's, you could make a pot hanger. Loads of different styles out there but I like this one for 2 or more pots

Aye were going to have a go with the pot hanger when were out next week, but when were up high in the lakes and there are no trees a grill would be a big help.
I found this on the web:

and I have some of these which are made of hollow tubing and are very light and strong:

I got a folding cutlery drainer from wilcos some time ago... no pic I'm afraid but have a look in there think it was about 3 quid
See #11 I did look online and in store but alas they don't stock them anymore.
When I was on Frontier Bushcraft's Expedition Canoe Skills course earlier this summer we used Paul Kirtley's http://www.purcelltrench.com/grills.htm Streamside Voyageurs Grill. It's superb quality and feather light but at a steep price . . . Much cheaper and nearly as light to use the one sold by Backpacking Light http://www.backpackinglight.co.uk/cooking-accessories/QE106.html# or a cooling rack.
I've found those cheaper folding grills, like the one in the original post, can tend to warp when you use them on a fire, so I'm inclined to agree with the advice others have given about using a cheap cooling rack over a couple off green logs. Although, that said the Purcell grill I saw in this thread look pretty durable ..but being titanium will have that titanium price too! The old adage is true: Cheap, Durable, Light ...Choose Any Two.
Backpacking light do that grill and at a very reasonable price as well.
If you order one from them you may even get a bag of skittles or similar put in with the order
I remember that one you bought at the NEC it took 3 of us to carry it

£9.24 delivered, cheap enough, = 2.5 pints of beer in a pub these days.

Well I wonder where he gets them from, or even if he has any stock, as we can't get any into the UK until Feb?
Says 8 available. They look identical to the Wilkinson's plate racks which they sold until about a year ago for £2.45 IIRC. I've got one on top of a chest and using it as a TV stand.
I've got the grilliput and agree with what's been said before nice and sturdy but heavy, I also have the one OP posted below it I think it's the backpackinglight one I got it in a trade in here and it's been by far the easiest and lightest to use and carry and it will take a couple of zebra billy type pots. Great bit of kit. Just my two pennith worth..
As it happens we are looking at producing a handful of these smaller grills around the 40cm x 13cm and 47cm x 16cm mark to see if they are popular with the Bushcraft chefs.
British made from 306 Stainless Steel. Just waiting for the costing.
In the meantime this new folding grill is proving popular and we of course are still waiting for the smaller folding one discussed by TOP to become available.

Well I've had the costing back and I wonder what the response here will be to the estimated prices?
Not cheap I'm afraid. British made of course rather than the Chinese option but you are looking at approx £20 for the smallest size up to £40 for the larger and that is purely for the grill itself and no bag or packaging.
However comparing it to the Purcell Trench Grills as a reference, the price is pretty similar and there's no shipping costs or delay of course. So maybe it isn't too bad?
Before we commission some we would appreciate the feedback here if that size and price would be acceptable? I accept many people prefer to recycle (above) or use grills that will have a shorter lifespan, but be cheaper.
I'm trying to design and produce more gear here in the UK if we can for outdoor enthusiasts. Especially stove related It does give us more control and QC, but hourly rates are slightly more. That said it is cheaper than flying to China and ordering a container full of the stuff as their minimums are in the 1000's!
