Our son-in-law has been bitten by the smoke bug and we plan on the 22" WSM as a Xmas present for him. Here lies the problem. What can he put under the WSM to protect a composite patio deck from any chance of fire or discoloration?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Whatever you decide to get, make sure that you have somewhere to light a charcoal chimney OUTSIDE of the WSM. This is very important for the Minion Method or for adding lit fuel to an already established cook. I personally just put the chimney on the grate of my gasser.

I used an aluminum hot water heater drip tray for my 22" and I had to get the tin snips out and cut notches in the pan edges for the legs. Even though the legs stick out past the pan the vents on the WSM are still protected by the pan.

For lighting my chimney I used to rest it on my my gasser grill but I was afraid of the lump falling out and going through the bottom of my gasser so now I use an old baking pan and put it on top of WSM charcoal ring.
