I have the Grilliput. Hands down, one of the top pieces of gear I own. Just took it with me to Oregon, in fact. Build a little charcoal fire, place the grill over the coals, cook to taste, remove grill, add firewood, and you have an instant campfire. The grill packs down to the size of a track-and-field relay baton, so it's very handy for traveling light.

Jeff-
Do you have the bowl too?
Thinking this could be a neat thing to have.

Thanks Richard for bringing this to attention.

No.

I suppose the bowl could make it less unpalatable to places like BIBE where ground fires are not allowed. I've found that the grill works just fine with the coals sitting under it, unencased.

This looks perfect for taking late afternoon pics from the porch of the Terlingua Trading Post.  Just remember to remove it from the bottle before trying to drink!

I've seen a couple of reviews of the large Gorillapod being used with a standard SLR and medium weight lens and the concensus seemed to be "not with my camera".
