The expanded metal may be a trifle newer than medieval lol. 

I forgot about the expanded aluminium; I placed that on to stop my sausages falling thru the bars. The bars hinge up to put wood or charcoal under them for burning

Have you seen a rocket stove? It's the great-grandson of you BBQ lol? its on my bucket list of things to build.

That looks nice but I don't think it would be a good burner. No holes for airflow to the charcoal

oh, it sure would. It may be the best tech improvement to the woodstove since Franklin.

 

Some pals made a very small one, and with twigs no bigger than my thumb, they melted a bunch of aluminum down to cast a 10 inch dragonfly ornament.

 

I haven't got one yet, but it is also on my list. I kind of wonder how small it could be, while still re-burning the gasses...
