This thread still here! I was thinking, you might want to try the Italian way. My Grandfather would stack cinder blocks 2 high in a rectangle out in the garden and dump a couple bags of charcoal in. After it got hot, out come the spits and grilling baskets. I have a whiskey barrel out in the lean-to full of grilling baskets! I like to bring one camping because it's handy as heck over an open fire! When I was little, we'd skewer meat and vegetables, and put chicken and fish and steaks... in baskets. You'd take them off the fire to baste them and put them back on. Flip as needed. It was fun. So long as you just wipe them off after using them and don't think you feel the need to wash them. Baskets are fun.
