This Redmond company imports and sell's a small campfire & grill for use in those fragile alpine meadows when a flame is necessary or simply wanted.

Hmmm. It's a stainless steel bowl, for 15 bucks. Looks nice, but a weight consideration at 10.5 oz.
Not sure how I could utilize it. It would require the same fuel and leave nearly the same ash footprint as any other low impact fire. Probably not usable in any fire-restricted zones.
For the weight, I'd consider substituting one of those Tibetan singing bowls, they're really fun...

I think it's pretty cool, not bad at 10.5 oz. Of course it's not something to take on a thru-hike but it could be great fun for a weekend trip to a lake or basin. Clearly it's going to have less impact than a fire on the ground, a beneficial feature in many areas fires are allowed.

Looks like one of those old vegetable steamers.... It's an intriguing idea.

Thats exactly what it is. I thought the same thing. Pick one up at Goodwill for $0.99 and you are good to go! Heck, I think the wife has three of them! Maybe I'll start selling them for $10.00 apiece!
I'm a man, I can change, if I have to, I guess.

LOL I was thinking of how to modify the one I have or the two my mother has!

A coffee can with vent holes in the bottom works just fine, free and weighs about the same.

For a serious high-end wood stove, that can be used in a large tent, try one of these medium titanium stoves from SeekOutside.
