     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION 
     With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to  FIGS. 1 through 5  thereof, a new grill device embodying the principles and concepts of an embodiment of the disclosure and generally designated by the reference numeral  10  will be described. 
     As best illustrated in  FIGS. 1 through 5 , the disposable grill assembly  10  generally comprises a base  12  that is selectively positioned on a support surface  14  such as ground and any other non-flammable support surface  14 . A stand  16  is provided and the stand  16  is coupled to and extends upwardly from the base  12 . The stand  16  includes a plurality of vertical members  18  extending upwardly from the base  12  and a plurality of horizontal members  20  extending between each of the vertical members  18 . Each of the horizontal members  20  is spaced from the base  12  and the horizontal members  20  form a rectangle. The base  12  may include a pair of end members  22  and each of the vertical members  18  of the stand  16  may be spaced from an associated one of the end members  22 . 
     A pan  24  is provided and the pan  24  is selectively positioned on the stand  16  such that the pan  24  is spaced from the support surface  14 . A flammable fuel source  26 , such as charcoal briquettes or the like, is selectively positioned in the pan  24 . The pan  24  is comprised of a heat resistant thereby facilitating the flammable fuel source  26  to be burnt in the pan  24  for cooking. 
     The pan  24  has a bottom wall  28  and a peripheral wall  30  extending upwardly therefrom. The peripheral wall  30  has an outer surface  32  and a top edge  34  and the top edge  34  defines an opening  36  into the pan  24 . The flammable fuel source  26  is positioned on the bottom wall  28  for burning. The pan  24  may be comprised of a recyclable material, such as aluminum foil or the like. Thus, the pan  24  may be disposed of and recycled when the flammable fuel source  26  is finished burning. A support  37  extends outwardly from the outer surface  32  of the peripheral wall  30 . The support  37  is coextensive with the peripheral wall  30  and the support  37  is aligned with the top edge  34 . 
     A grill  38  is selectively positioned on the pan  24  such that the grill  38  is in thermal communication with the flammable fuel source  26 . A food item  40 , such as raw meat or the like, is positioned on the grill  38  for cooking. The grill  38  has a bottom side  42  and the bottom side  42  rests upon the support on the pan  24  when the grill  38  is positioned on the pan  24 . Thus, the grill  38  is spaced from the bottom wall  28  of the pan  24 . The grill  38  may have a plurality of vents  41  extending through the grill  38  thereby facilitating heat from the flammable fuel source  26  to pass through the grill  38 . 
     A lip  43  extends downwardly from the bottom side  42  of the grill  38  and the lip  43  is coextensive with a perimeter of the grill  38 . The lip  43  engages the support  37  on the pan  24  when the grill  38  is positioned on the pan  24  thereby inhibiting the grill  38  from sliding off of the pan  24 . A sleeve  44  is provided and the sleeve  44  has a first end  46 . The first end  46  is open into an interior of the sleeve  44  and the first end  46  insertably receives the grill  38  for storage. The sleeve  44  may be comprised of a heat resistant material. 
     In use, the base  12  is positioned on the support surface  14  and the pan  24  is positioned on the stand  16  having the support resting on the horizontal members  20 . The flammable fuel source  26  is positioned in the pan  24  for burning. The grill  38  is positioned on the pan  24  and the food item  40  is positioned on the grill  38 . In this way the food item  40  is cooked when the flammable fuel source  26  is burned. The pan  24  is discarded when the food item  40  is finished cooking and the flammable fuel source  26  has finished burning. 
     With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure. 
     Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the element is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
