I've had real good luck with a couple plywood bases and two tire
jacks.  And chocks, of course.  Even when the site is level they give
a nice solidity underfoot.

But if you really want to be picky about leveling the burner grille,
what's wrong with a few little hardwood wedges?  If you're worried
about things not staying put, remove the two locking legs and
substitute strongish tension springs.
