Fire-Proof grill pad recommendations?

[Jonathan Wexler]

I am looking for an alternative to put under my smoker. I bought (at a premium price in Europe) the Weber "floor protection mat". I burned a hole through it on my first use. It seems to be little more than a piece of outdoor carpeting. Suggested materials I might find in Europe? Better yet, a known brand and model?

I keep running into the same complaints. I would love a rigid or semi rigid disk or square. One piece.

Creative ideas? Thanks guys.

Hi Jonathan,

Fireplaces have the same types of issues so you could consider solutions used for heating stoves.

Tiles, stone, cement backer board or a maybe a steel plate. You could fabricate any of the 4 into single sheet.

Do they have the equivalent of HardiePlank/HardiePanel there? A scrap piece, cut to suitable size, would do the trick.
