I've got a Weber Jumbo Joe 18" portable that's pretty excellent and was not expensive. Bought it for tailgating but it found its real home filled with lump oak, both vents cranked wide open and a pizza stone making pies. It will hold a hot enough fire for really good pizzas for about an hour without refilling it.
The build quality is pretty decent, better than most other big box charcoal grills.
I think the place it might fall short for being on Meh is that there's not likely an unwanted warehouse full of them.
I have this, but it is the super quick and dirty version: stainless steel washing machine tub, sitting atop four bricks. Bricks were cheaper and easier than fabbing up legs. Works great!
For camping, though, it might be a bit much to haul. Would a portable fire ring work?
@djslack I need something to keep it off the ground. I used to have an old charcoal grill that I used - decided to clear it out. I now wish I had it still.
Can't Meh find us a warehouse full of Neato robots thatvuse lasers to dig a firepit just anywhere? The they got bored they could use lasers to dig me a full scale BBQ pit.

@mfladd
Woot>Home has one for $70
I need a real cheap one that I can bring camping.
Not to make food on, but to chop off the legs and use as a firepit.
