I'm interested in a grill/brazier from Pompeii and any related cooking
implements or pots.
Here's a picture of the one I'm interested in:

The four horizontal bars (some or all can slide down to the front to open
the base or to can be moved to alter the spacing between the bars. Here's
some info about how they made it:

Is anyone else using replicas of this? I'd love to hear about your
experiences in cooking with it and what works well. I'm also looking for
more detailed sources of info on how it's made, or info on anyone offering
replicas.
