The Rebel only needs 6" or so, and the Original needs about 8".  You can
prop it with a rock (or wedge it into a campground fire pit.

Your SS grill in the link wins the design "elegant simplicity" award, but
the price is a bit high.  SS does have its advantages though.

How far do you have to drive the stake into the ground? I like the idea but
I don't think I have enough topsoil up here.

There is one South African grill that I have been seriously considering
copying. Not something I could make at home, would have to get it water jet
cut and bent up, but jeepers it is tempting.

Its the "FRONT RUNNER SPARE TIRE MOUNT BRAAI / BBQ GRATE" listed on this
