Coleman makes one that sits on top of your camp stove, and is usually
available at WalMart type places.  It folds down, so it takes no space at
all when packing.  The negative is that it is small, no more than +/- 15x15
at the most, maybe smaller.

What I use is a propane smoker.  Remove the chip tray and water pan, and it
will get up to 425*.  Mine has four racks that will hold 9x13 or so pans.  I
wouldn't do a major camping event without it.  The negative is that it takes
up a LOT of space when it is time to pack.

If you are not feeding many, you may do fine with the Coleman model.  I feed
40+ in camp, so need more cooking space than some.

YMMV
