The small grill will hold the briquette.  It needs to sit about a quarter inch or so below the bottom of the grill due to the thickness of typical charcoal briquettes.

First you need to connect the legs.  Put all 4 screws through the holes and secure them with a nut, but only thread one completely through.  Do not tighten this nut either just yet, it should be loose.

Next put the grill on the leg and loosely thread another nut on it about halfway down.

For the remaining legs you'll need to screw the nuts in about halfway, align them with the holes in the grill, and then push them all the way through securing them with a second nut on the end.  You will probably need to bend your tabs a little more at this point to get the alignment just right.

At the end of this step tighten the top nut on all of the screws to secure the legs to the tin.

Do you mean "nut" where you keep saying "bolt"? You say "put 4 bolts through the holes and secure them with a bolt". I think you mean "put 4 bolts through the holes and secure them with a NUT". Then thread on another NUT. It's hard to thread a bolt onto a bolt, after all.
