edieval grill with above ground fire box (removable)

This grill is based on a design I got from Tassilo vom Rabennest and Stella Seraphina von Leuchtenberg. See their nice website at www.rabennest.com.

Their grill is used for ground fires only. The way they do it is interesting. A layer of sod is lifted from some other location and layed down on the ground upside down. On the exposed soil is where the fire is then made.

I prefer a fire box. While any type of above ground fire is not really medieval, the box makes for a cleaner fire site than using sod.

The lid of the box has several neat functions:

• it turns the whole thing into a neat box that can store the entire grill and all the sooty camp fire utensils
• it can be used like a cookiesheet on top of the grill
• it can be used determine the layout for the spikes
• by making a fire underneath the closed box, you have an oven

The whole assembly is big enough to hold two full sized cooking pots
