Still one of my go to options for a remote grill. Two fence posts (not pictured), a few half sized cinder blocks, and an HVAC grate. Suspend the two center blocks halfway up the side blocks to make a charcoal shelf. Set heat over top immediately to sanitize with fire and then good to go. I’ll take any suggestions on improvements but hard to beat for a few bucks.

Be careful. Regular cinder blocks can heat up and explode if they get too hot. They make fire rated bricks for use in grills & firepits. That may be a safer option.
I used Oven bricks to build up my yakitori setup…. flawless setup.
For OP results, i recommend using Binchotan charcoal….
What are the fence posts for that you mentioned?
Le grille? What the hell is that?!
Nice idea, but kind of bulky. I rented a beach house last summer that, according to the internet listing, didn’t include a grill. So, I found a 18” square charcoal grill with a lid for $20 at Walmart. I figured I’d use it a few times over the course of the week rental and just leave it. But, it turned out the house actually had a grill, so I’ve still got mine in the box. Just waiting until the next time I need a disposable grill!!
OP it looks like your grate is bare metal (good!) but for anyone who shows up to this thread later:
Do *NOT* grill on galvanized or zinc’d expanded metal. Be sure your grate is not treated in any way. Bare metal is fine to grill on and eat off of. Galvanization and/or zinc treatment are very bad to eat off of, very bad to breathe fumes off of!!
If the metal is for welding that’s a good sign. If it’s noted as “exterior” in any way it likely has been treated.
