BBQ Smoker/Grill Mat

I am looking for recommendations on a mat to protect my patio.

Walmart sells one for BBQ's but with the fat and grease I went with a piece of plywood under it to "soak" up the mess that I make. Works great for concrete but if it is wood you will need to move it so the area will "air" out or dry after a rain or snow.

Are you looking to protect it from a mess or from potential fires? Grills on wooden decks should have a flame resistant mat under them, especially charcoal or wood burners.

Also a good idea to mount a fire extinguisher near the cooking area.

Raven's grease soaked plywood is a fire hazard if it's under one of his Webers.

It's a cement slab with decorative finish. Just looking to protect it.

I guess I should of stated the plywood is NOT used under any thing with a "open" flame but under my electric and pellet smoker's only.
