What if it looks like the grill flame is less than 7" away from surface of grill? Will this hurt mat?

Hi Karen, thank you very much for your question. For a properly operating gas grill, you should not have any issues. Occasionally the heat shield or the burners can slide out of position. Sliding everything back in as it should be will alleviate most issues. If there is damage to a burner we recommend replacing it or avoiding that side. Turning the grill down could be a solution as well. The 7" advisement is mainly aimed towards charcoal grills. You want to knock the pile of properly prepared hot coals down. You don't want flaming coals at all. I hope this helps! Have a great day, Jamie

My grill has cover over the flames. And it is about 5 in above the flames no issue...

It is wood, therefore anything hot could possibly put a burn mark. Personally, I'd used a hot pad first. It is a great board. We use it over our sink ... looks great.

If you have an electric oven the mat can go under the element yes, if you own a gas oven the mat has to go on a shelf away from the flames or it will catch on fire.

I cook with gas so this is opinion only but from the way it is made it seems like it would do a great job against sparks (the mat itself may get marked depending on how long you let the sparks sit on it and how hot they are).

The feet are an inch and a half. If your burner grills are shorter than that you should be fine.

No, direct flame to it would crack the terracotta. Be careful too - I've tried to "bake" on a grill with terracotta before and it didn't just crack, there was something moist in it (a chicken) and it exploded all over the place.

My grates also move when I clean them. Any BBQ grill usually has a small space for movement, otherwise you wouldn't be able to take them out to clean, etc because they would be too snug.

Not really. The grill is too small. And the heat is uneven, making the grill effectively even smaller.

You could rest your foot there with a shoe on depending on the size of the fire. I wouldn't worry about too hot. I would worry about stability though. I wouldn't rest my foot on the edge of mine. It is thin metal, it could bend or it could tip over because it is so light

NO. this is one of the reason why purchased this product, its actually about 2' from the grill no heat distribution,

No the grill gets too hot. This had a short life for the oven, you should buy a different thermometer.

Absolutely not. Any damage to the mat, it should be discarded, according to the manufacturer. Fire issue maybe? I'd just buy a new pan to fit the mat.

This mat is not much of a radiant heater. In order for it to be effective you'll need direct contact.

The mat is about 1/4" to 3/8 but I was not impressed with the performance of this product. I put it in some hot spots under my 4X4 and it all has pretty much burned up.

My grill is sitting on top of a stone table. The bowl of the grill is about 5" above the table. I don't know if a wood table would be damaged. Aluminum, I think would be OK. Plastic might not work. Most of the heat is on the grill top. It is a great grill. Enjoy!

as long as the grill is at least 16 inches in diameter. the coals should not be extremely close to the grill grates as the can ruin the anodizing, at least 5-6 inches, also quick cook items , steak and burgers dont need more that a few layers of coals. i love these and havent grilled without them since getting them. i only clean them after i cant grill anymore, with dawn and a soft brush, otherwise just let the fire sterilize them and use the scrapper to clean out the extra junk. try grilling with all vents open and even the lid off to the side a little to keep the heat good and get some good smoke. for fish i use pam grill spray to help it keep from sticking. happy grillin, gary as long as the grill is at least 16 inches in diameter. the coals should not be extremely close to the grill grates as the can ruin the anodizing, at least 5-6 inches, also quick cook items , steak and burgers dont need more that a few layers of coals. i love these and havent grilled without them since getting them. i only clean them after i cant grill anymore, with dawn and a soft brush, otherwise just let the fire sterilize them and use the scrapper to clean out the extra junk. try grilling with all vents open and even the lid off to the side a little to keep the heat good and get some... » Read More as long as the grill is at least 16 inches in diameter. the coals should not be extremely close to the grill grates as the can ruin the anodizing, at least 5-6 inches, also quick cook items , steak and burgers dont need more that a few layers of coals. i love these and havent grilled without them since getting them. i only clean them after i cant grill anymore, with dawn and a soft brush, otherwise just let the fire sterilize them and use the scrapper to clean out the extra junk. try grilling with all vents open and even the lid off to the side a little to keep the heat good and get some good smoke. for fish i use pam grill spray to help it keep from sticking. happy grillin, gary « Show Less

After cleaning a brushing of vegetable oil or olive oil may help. Check with the manufacture as my grill went up in flames before a year old. If it catches fire they may blame you for it like they did me. The rubber hose under the cook surface needs replacing. The Weber grills do not start the rubber hose until they are out of the way of the heat zone. Any grease drippings can not fall on it like can from the char-broil. If you do not follow the instructions to the letter they will void any claim. Not to say they will stand behind any problem if you could prove it. Worst grill ever replaced with a Weber.
