The product is made of a flexible teflon and is labeled PTFE (PFOA free)See this website for explanation of PTFE/PFOA http://home.howstuffworks.com/nonstick-cookware5.htm. Package directions advise not to use above 500F (260C). After you read the article at the website you can decide if the material releases chemicals. We usually slow cook at from 300-350F. The mat cleans very easily. Hope this answers you questions.

I have used mine 4 times now. The material looks and feels like teflon coated. My grill has been on med. and high with no problems. I dont use a charcoal grill thou if that is what your referring to. As far as chemicals being released , we have not noticed any . hopes this helps . If you use a marinade , however it does run off the mat onto the grill , but not as much to clean.

I'm not so sure what material it is but it absorbs the heat without burning it and real flexible. When I first used it the flames where high but it didn't affect in any kind of way the yoshi grill and I showed it to some friends and cook some meat on it no chemical flavor was on the meat and pretty much everyone enjoyed it plus you don't burn your meats and nothing sticks to it I highly recommend it.

I think it is some type of plastic. I have never burned myself, because of the way it is constructed. One reviewer said they burned themself but I don't know how they managed that. I think they were reviewing the wrong product.

Its tough paint, but its epoxy based (like hard plastic), so I don't think it would hold up to extreme heat very well if its really close to the burner. I would probably suggest trying high heat rated spray paint instead.

Hello, Thank you for your interest on our products. We have many types of these materials... If your materials required less then 1000 C then it is fully suitable to work with. You can find required firing temperature on each material in user instructions. Hope this information will be useful to you.With Regards. Technicalsupermarket

There is no fire insulation. It is metal, but not intended to be fireproof.

I use propane also. There was a decent coating of soot built up after seasoning the cooker. One run with no oil and one with a good coating of high temperature cooking spray. This is normal for all the grills and smokers I have ever used.

I'm assuming by bbq you are referring to a grill (most likely charcoal) and it's not the same. You can cook over a fire pit with accessories but it's different.

The castable cement is supposed to withstand temperatures of up to 2200 degrees. It is to be used with firebrick having the same heat characteristics. It is used in making high heat forges. I didn't know any better and used it to make an outdoor Pizza / Bread oven. Pizza is range 550 -600 deg. Bread is 360+ / - degree range. Later found out - and used- 1 part portland cement - 1 Part Fire Clay and 3 parts sand to coat the outside of the oven. this mixture is rated for 700 degrees. I doubt your fire pit will get near this level of heat. All that considered, It is an excellent material and it is expensive.

I haven't tried it in a fire. Ill let you know as soon as i do. Sounds like a good project for the morning.

If the wire is steel, I rather doubt it. My steel crucible shows no melt from an hour of direct heat. An oxyacetylene torch can melt it for sure, but propane just doesn't burn hot enough.

I cannot technically answer that, but I will tell you my five-year-old grandson took a barbeque lighter and tried to set it on fire in two spots. Thankfully, it only smoldered and made two holes (not all the way through) in the fabric, so I would guess it fortunately has some flame retardant.

I do not think, it has been very useful in the work that I use, the temperatira is rather high, but the durability of the flame depends on the gas tank and this is small.

I am not sure. I have not had this problem with mine and I would not think a normal BBQ grill would get hot enough to vaporize metal into the food. I did wash mine before use so maybe I washed a coating off that was causing the taste. Sorry I can't be more help.

Sorry. I don't know; I sought it several years ago and I don't remember if the grill contains Teflon. I am sure the specs should describe details about containing materials, though.

I used mine in the oven, and the plastic started melting. and smelling I don't recommend it for oven. Inspite of the melt, it still works in the BBQ. It would probably be ok if you didn't leave it there, just insert and remove. But be careful.

We burn it off every time we use it. Never had an issue. We get it hot enough that we need fire gloves to hold the grill to put our food on it. This is a great product!

There's a gasket between the pieces at the bottom. You can melt it if you crank the thing up really high without anything in it. Forgot mine while preheating it and the gasket was smoking. Never had a problem when there was stuff in it though. Also ... too hot for too long and the handle can get really hot.
