So, at the risk of being a wise-a$$, you're saying you'd put one of the Maverick's probes down on the deck to be alerted if it catches fire? Or do you fasten the controller to the wall of the house so that if the deck burns and falls away, it'll pull the probes out and the low temp alarm will go off?
Sorry, but I couldn't resist.
No disrespect intended, so hopefully none taken.
I've cooked with all sorts of grills and smokers on wooden decks. The important thing is that you acknowledge and manage the risk. Like eating ribs while wearing a white suit.

I use a left over piece of hardy backer from when we were tiling the bathroom.
