It’s fairly easy to rig one up. I think I used a grill from a portable bbq and just weaved it between the cover grill so it stayed straight.
You can also use the heaters grill and put it on ***** backwards. Just be careful not to drip grease on the buddy.

i flip the existing grate and hook the scooper to the grate and under the handle for extra rigidity. works good for a few dogs or a tin of stew.

Paint Bucket Grid
I've been using one of these for the past two years and they work great and they're cheap. Flip it upside down and bend the arms a bit to secure it to the heater. I toss some tinfoil on top to keep things tidy and it gets warm enough to cook hot dogs, heat up pizza, pre-cooked wings, etc.

I can take pics if someone is interested.

I’ll definitely post some pics when I’m home. Won’t be until later tonight or tomorrow morning. I’m on the road right now.
It’s pretty sweet because you don’t need to weld or screw anything in. I’ve thought about adding two supports, a coat hanger wire on each side, but haven’t bothered. I never put anything too heavy on it and it can hold a decent amount on its own. It also hangs onto the metal grid in the front so it won’t get hit and melt the handle like some rigs would.

Get the white/unleaded gas version. Much better in the cold than any propane model.
As far as a grill the the Buddy heaters, old Hibatchi cast grill works fine, holds lots of weight. Not my idea, got it from someone else.

Pictures!
Sorry for the delay but here's how I use a paint bucket grid ( https://www.homedepot.ca/en/home/p.1...000120449.html) as a grill for my Big Buddy Heater. They're super cheap; I actually bought two but haven't used the second one yet.
Basically I flip it upside down, attach it to the top metal bar of the grill with the arms of the paint bucket grid, then slightly bend the arms of the paint bucket grid for a snugger fit. It comes off and on with ease but like I said before it can support the weight of most things I'd heat up. I do use foil on top to keep things tidy (hot dog grease, crumbs, etc.).
When transporting I remove the paint bucket grid and slide it along the back side of the heater in the carrying case made specifically for that heater.
Hope this helps!

If those grates are galvanized, I might be concerned about cooking on them.

Yea good point about galvanized steel. The item description just says steel so it doesn’t indicate if it’s galvanized or not. I’m going to look into it more though. Zinc fumes would not be good.

Cooling rack from the Dollar Store and a 3\18" stainless rod.
Boils water in 45 minutes, keeps coffee warm and you can cook on it. In fact the quesadilla burnt
