Frequently Asked Questions
If your grill sits on a wood deck or a stained patio, a mat is cheap insurance. Grease splatter, sauce drips, and stray embers stain and can damage decking that was never built to take them, and a deck mat puts a protective barrier between the grill and the surface. The mat costs a small fraction of refinishing or repairing the boards.
Measure your grill's footprint and add coverage for where grease actually lands, which is in front of and beside the grill, not just directly under it. A mat that extends past the drip zone and any prep or side-shelf area catches the most splatter. When in doubt, size up, since the extra coverage is what saves the deck from stray drips.
Quality deck mats are designed to lay flat and grip the surface, often with a rubberized backing that resists sliding, so they stay put underfoot. Look for a thicker, no-curl mat that will not bunch up. Laying it flat and letting it settle helps it stay in place, keeping the area both protected and safe to walk on.
For charcoal and any grill that can drop embers, choose a mat described as fireproof or made to resist sparks, rather than a basic splatter mat. That rating is what protects against the occasional stray coal or ash. Always give a grill proper clearance and ventilation as well, since a mat guards the surface but is not a substitute for safe placement.
Most deck mats clean up easily: let it cool, then wipe it down or hose it off and let it dry before laying it back down. Cleaning it now and then keeps grease from building up and keeps the surface underneath fresh. That simple upkeep is what lets one mat protect your deck for years.

We've spent decades learning what works and what doesn't, and we apply that knowledge to every product we carry. From high-performance grills and smokers to carefully selected rubs, sauces, and tools, everything we offer is something we believe in and use ourselves. We don’t believe in cutting corners or selling gear we wouldn’t rely on during our own backyard cooks and when we compete in BBQ competitions.
