Collapsible Altoids tin barbeque

While searching instructables i found a lot of Altoids survival kits and grills so i decided to make one myself.  Unlike the countless other Altoids barbeques and grills mine has legs and is collapsible.  I have found several 'ibles on how to make an Altoids grill with legs but none could be fit into a pocket and that is the whole point of making an Altoids project.  On the other hand, most altoids grills have no legs and are not safe for use on most surfaces.  In my 'ible i tried to solve both those problems in a quick easy project

Step 1: Parts and tools

Parts
Altoids tin
Four bolts
Four or eight nuts to fit your bolts (eight is more sturdy so that's what i used, four is only for bolts that are threaded all the way to the top and mine are not)
Metal mesh ( i got mine from a metal basket if you don't have one then you can use mesh from a window or a strainer)

Tools
drill or awl
pliers
wire snippers or some thing else to cut metal

It's pretty cool. I'm pretty good at building altoid tin projects, so yeah...

If you line the bottom of the can with tin foil, it will keep the bottom of the can from burning.

Nice grill; it's a lot simpler than the other Altoids grills(IN A GOOD WAY :). Thanks
