If it's feasible, that may be your best/cheapest option! Fri Jul 24 05:37:21 -0700 2009 4886261 126991 aburkavage 1 4886621 These are all over China, and the 'Stans. I've even seen one / eaten from one attached to a Bicycle in Far western China. Probably your best bet is to find a small metal shop who'll weld something up for you.

Not quite the same, but pretty effective. Fri Jul 24 14:05:39 -0700 2009 4886261 156990 Robin Joy 1 4946270 I'm guessing you're referring to the ever-popular "mangal," of which the pic below (click for a larger, clearer version) shows a fancy model with legs. They are cheap and so ubiquitous in Israel, that sometimes it seems everyone has one in the trunk of the car for an emergency cookout. I found something similar on Amazon, the Bayou Classic Fold And Go Portable Cypress Charcoal Grill, $24.99 from GrillSpecialists.com, I'll try to link to it below too. The sizes are similar but not identical. The Israeli model is 500 x 315 mm (or 19" x 12"), and the Bayou Grill is 19" x 14", so it's 2" wider. But that's pretty close!
