    BBQ Grill Mat

    Anybody have any information on this new BBQ grill mat I keep seeing on social media? I hope Meathead has an answer for me?

    Welcome Brownstone! I'm not on social media much (just a little Facebook) and haven't seen anything. What's the name of the one you're seeing?

    We'd love to get an intro from you over in the Introduce Yourself channel when you get a minute.

      Fuzzydaddy, I am a bit embarrassed but I can't figure out how to respond to the group on my post.

            My guess is that he's talking about these: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KQ1VR5U/?tag=amazi0a8-20

            Welcome Brownstone! We're glad you're here.

              If it is those mats, then I'm even more reluctant to try them. Read the 1-Star reviews, interesting reading. Sounds like someone got the idea to re-purpose these oven lines as grill mats. Think I'll stick to tried and true technology in this case.

            There are a lot of variations on this idea. I don't see any temp range specified. Some should not be used over 500° F. I see a pic of a steak with grill marks sitting on one of these mats - hmmmmmm. Mats are good for cooking below sear temps for sticky items like fish, small items like veggies and shrimp that could drop through grates and of course eggs and what not.

              I have never used these before. Do you still get that grill flavor? Even though the food never touches the fire? I have always been really curious about that one. Wouldn't a perforated grill mat be a much better option; like the Frog mats or even the perforated Weber Stainless grill pan? Max Good

                Yes, a mat with openings will allow sizzled drippings to flavor foods.

              Buying one of those for whatever price would end up being a $1000 investment at the vet's office! I used to BBQ on my deck and had a really nice heavy duty rubber mat to catch the drippings from my pull out shelves. The BBQ's are in my gravel area now and the 1/8 eaten mat went into the trash. I could not imagine what would happen if I emptied the food from the cooking mat into a bowl and left it off to the side of the BBQ.

              I saw these in use once, with burgers. Basically the fat from the burgers would pool on the mat, and eventually pour out on the bars/burners. Instead of a flare up, there was a Biblical conflagration!

                Suh-Weet!!!

                Are there videos of this stuff on youtube?

                I've lived through several conflagrations, albeit they were sub-Biblical!

              Seeing the ads on TV, they just look gross.

                Sorry folks that it took me so long to reply. The grill mat I saw was a video but Pit Boss posted a link from Amazon.

                It seems that after reading some other posts that it is more of a gimmick than anything else. I was truly surprised by the amount of answers that I have. Thanks everyone for the warm welcome to the website. It is an honor to be among you all.
                Cheers!

                  I was really hoping this was some sort of grilling mat you could place on the ground and put the grills onto. To keep the grass from getting singed and burnt. Been looking for something like it since the smoker leaves a nice ring in the grass...

                    I use a piece of slate under the PBC to protect the grass. Easily moved when done.
