Stone cooking supports used to grill skewers of meat by Minoans in Santorini, Greece circa 1600 BCE. The line of holes in the base supplied coals with oxygen. Many consider modern "souvlaki" street kebabs a direct descendant of this portable food system. Museum of Prehistoric Thera, Greece.

Here is the link I found to Museum of Prehistoric Thera in Greece:
