Our camping trips were the three or four night affairs and that usually meant two or three nights BBQing. I hve always used a "chimney" to start our Weber at home so I just used the "old" one for camping. Since one full chimney full of briquettes will take care of the steak or chicken each night, I simply put a Zip lock baggie in the chimney and filled it with charcoal. I removed it and made one or two more the same way, leaving the last one in it during transit.
Don't forget the newspaper to start it though!
I found a small rectangular 16" x 24" grate from an old small fridge for a grate and I too used the "four rocks" stand method or the "two branches" method to hold it. We used the fire pit and after dinner just dumped the remainder of the coals onto a pile of kindling I had laid in the pit during the afternoon to start our evening fire.
Since we rarely visited more than one campsite and didn't change locations, I just used a couple of shopping bags to transport it as it would always be kinda grungy after a couple days camping.
Don't forget the wire grill scraper!
Once back home a REAL cleaning and a couple shopping bags and it would be ready for the next trip.
Oh yeah, don't forget the BBQ spatula with long handle!
