This is adorable: a tiny charcoal BBQ grill using an Altoids Sours tin, two metal computer fan guards, and some sheet metal screws for legs. It looks like it fits one regular-sized briquette. As one of the commentors notes, this is great for marshmallows, but you could also cook a shrimp at a time.

Making it doesn't require tools more sophisticated than a Dremel - no soldering, no nothing. Release the GeekDads. You could probably bang this thing out and be eating S'Mores before your neighbor's charcoal grill is hot enough to cook.

Instructables user Vmspionage's mini-grill was inspired by the earlier eBQ, which uses a full-sized Altoids tin. He also writes that "the propane version is coming soon! :D" Now we just need someone to make a MintyBoost-powered electric starter, and we'll really have something cooking.
