Looking for a very small reusable BBQ that is easy maintenance wrt. cleaning and I can put it away when done.

I was thinking I could get one of these: https://www.ikea.com/gb/en/p/koncis-roasting-tin-with-grill-rack-stainless-steel-10099053
Put it ontop of something flat, sturdy, that can handle the heat away from ruffage etc...
Light the coals stacked in pyramid, when white-hot, spread them into a single layer and put the grill ontop and cook.
When done and cold, rinse it out and put it in the dishwasher.

My question is, this is stainless steel - is there any safety concerns with doing this, will it be able to handle the heat?
Presumably its safe to cook on anyways?
Have I missed anything obvious?
 
When you say it’s too shallow, it looks larger than disposable BBQs are…how do they work? I’m not looking for expert cooking here, just want to be able to knock up some bangers and burgers with minimal fuss.

Very badly is how they work. Just buy a cheap purpose made BBQ in which you can vary the food height from the coals.

You can probably buy a BBQ for about the same price as that Ikea tray.

Replying to this one as this is closest to what I was after. (this and the bucket bbq suggestion) I could use something like this without attaching the legs.
The only requirement it doesn't meet (as far as I'm aware) is being dishwasher safe, I imagine it would rust if liquid got to it.
