A Charcoal Grill Mat is a Safe Addition to your Grilling Arsenal

For those of you who use a charcoal grill on a deck made of wood or on any surface that is potentially flammable, It’s important to take precautions. One of those absolute MUST precautions is to purchase a charcoal grill mat. This article will show in detail the one that I use when I am charcoal grilling and when I am using my Brinkmann offset smoker.

A Charcoal Grill Mat is a Grill-Safe Accessory

A grill mat for your deck is an important and necessary addition to your grilling arsenal especially if you use your charcoal grill on a wooden deck, I have a number of Weber grills and a Brinkmann Trailmaster Offset Smoker that I use on my wooden deck. Charcoal grilling accessories are abundant out there but safety should be a top consideration.

A while back I wrote the article Can I use my Charcoal Grill on a Wooden Deck? since it emanated from a question from one of my readers. Well, since then, it has clearly become one of the most popular articles on this website. It tells me that people are very concerned about the prospect of using a charcoal grill on a wooden deck.

Well, within that article, I detail a number of safety tips that you should take while using a charcoal grill on a wooden deck. One tip in that article is to conserve and relight used charcoal briquettes to save money. Another tip is to make use of a grill mat which I certainly have done with my Resilia Protective Grill Mat for Deck. You can check out a YouTube video I have created for it below to give you a first-hand look at this important grilling accessory.
