Grill Mats? Yes or No??

[JohnMMafeen]

I would plan to get a grill mat that helps to protect my deck or patio from burning or stains.
And before buying one I found this list that included a list of grill mats. But I am not sure which one I should buy.

As far as I'm concerned, the best barbecue mats altogether are designed and built with the target of giving a nonstick and elastic dark rectangle that individuals can more often than not use to facilitate their BBQ cooking background. All you need is to search with regards to the best flame broil mats that are vastly sized, possess a sufficient measure of PTFE covering and are adequately thick to cook within a level and regular way.

I'd well and truly appreciate if you could kindly please share your feedback. :)

I got the Bradley silicone mats back when I had their smoker... now departed but still using those. I use for small or fragile items. Still have to clean the supporting racks, so not so much a work saver, but a cook saver.

Talking different mats here ... I used one once upon a time, but it also seemed to trap moisture, so don’t use anymore. And I’m transitioning to a hard surface patio anyway, so moot going forward.

I also got a grill mat from online order, in fact it is quite useful, protects the deck & patio from stains. I used it since august 2020. You will find a lot of grill mats in the market. If you want to buy a grill mat, buy a good grill mat within 30-50$ and use it safely for at least 1 year. If you want to know, I can tell you name of Grill Mate which i used.

So by "grill mats" are you using the ones with holes or the ones that are solid?

The only reason I ask is you mention the juices collecting on the mat.

The ones the guys above are referring too are these sold here:

These are what most of us use here. I use them whenever I am smoking things I don't want to fall through like meatloaf, meatballs, nuts, fish, etc. Easy
to clean and as JJ's link shows, tough as nails. I highly recommend the Q-matz.

It appears Todd isn't selling his matz anymore, the link for his store is bad.

I use a black flame retardant mat that I got from Rose's for $10. Catches all the grease and gunk
