A grid, in this case, is probably similar to your barbeque grill.  The
illustrations I've seen show a cross work of iron rods or straps placed
above a fire.  It has also been called a grid iron.  This later developed
into the frying pan with the ribbed bottom called a gridiron and into the
flat metal surface called a griddle.  Note that all of these use direct
heat.
