I got a small frog mat with my Rec Tec and want to get a larger one and a smaller one for my GMG Davy Crockett. My question is what are you using and would you get the same thing when it needs to be replaced?

I bought a Frog mat from Rectec, and I really like it. The first thing I did was cut it into a circle shape with a pair of scissors, so it would fit my grill. It is cheap, easy to clean in the dish washer. I have a stainless steel basket for smoking shrimp also, but tend to use the frog mat instead since it is so easy to "curl up" into a basket when I remove it from the grill. On the other hand, I haven't tried too many other brands either, so I'm a bit biased.

It is just a fine mesh cooking mat that you put on the grates that prevents food from dropping through the grates.

I bought my Frogmats at the BBQ Super Store (http://www.thebbqsuperstore.com/Sear...arch=frog+mats).
Good prices, and a lot of different pre-cut sizes to pick from.

I used mine on my weber 22" when I was smoking 18 lbs of candied pecans of various flavors. It's advantages over other grill grates are that it has a coating that makes it extremely easy to clean, and it's flexible so you can curl it up when you take it off the grill to keep items inside, or curl it up while on the grill to hold together loose food, like maybe a meatloaf. The baked/smoked-on sugar and honey from the candied pecans wiped right off every time, wouldn't be even close to that easy with a metal mesh or grate.

Backyard Jambo, T1000 Woodmaster, MAK 2 star, 14" & 22" WSM, 2x 22" Weber Kettle, Stoven, Hot Box Grill, Hasty Bake Ranger, RecTeq Bullseye, GMG Davy Crockett; Original Grilla and others I'm not remembering!
I use them all the time at competitions in the Pellet Jambo. It evens out cooking somewhat. Main thing is you can move whatever is on it around bare handed! They clean up pretty good in the dishwasher, or soak them to loosen up the gunk and brush them off.

At first I thought you guys were talking about a mat for under the grill / smoker to protect your deck or patio. For that I use an automotive oil drip pan; works great, lasts long time, easy enough to clean, and less then $10. Clicking the links I see these mats are for the grill surface. Other than saving the morsels, or smaller pieces of whatever, from falling through what purpose do they serve?
