Do many other people set their smokers up on their decks like this? I did my first smoke on my deck, with a piece of slate underneath the smoker. It filled the house with smoke. (I know, I said that like it was a bad thing.)
I liked the idea of only stepping out the door to tend to them, but the "fire on the deck" concept is a tough one to get by. Is the mat particularly useful for fire control? I'm assuming not in the case of the one on the left.
I'm considering mounting mine on a cart so I can move them out of the yard when they're not being used.
Your thoughts?
