Do you put the mat on the grill before pre heating the grill or after?

It's also a good idea to spray with Pam cooking spray for grilling before hand.

I have the mat on while it's preheating, and it's all hot when I'm ready to cook.

you want to place on the briquettes or balance on flavor bars/heat shield underneath the cooking grates. That way it does not take up any of your cooking space and gets more heat.

Directly on grill. Could use griddle or pan if you want as well. It is the same as a BBQ.

Turn up heat to burn off impurities; then brush with wire brush. When grill is off and cooled, I rub olive oil on the grates. Once every 3-5 uses, i disassemble burner covers, soak them in hot soapy water and the wash them.

You should allow any grill to cool completely before you cover it with any fabric cover. Otherwise it's a fire hazard.

The idea is to have the mat on as soon as or before snow starts falling. It melts as it hits the mat or if there is a little build up to start. I leave mine on all winter - that way it prevents any ice from drips from the roof. I love HeatTrak - - I've had times we had 18' of snow but a clean path thru it thanks to HeatTrak.

I heat up the grill on high for 15 to 30 minutes before I cook, then brush the grill and I have no problem with cleaning. I started this the very first time I cooked. I do not brush off after cooking only before when the grill is at max temperature.

Thermal cleaning (running the grill on high for 15 minutes after removing food off the grill) is the best suggestion for cleaning. When cleaning the cooking surface with a wire brush, do so while the grill surface is still hot. It's easier to clean while still hot than when it's cold.

It is always a good practice to wash after use. Cast Iron will accumulate rust if left on the grill.

After allowing mat to cool thoroughly...I washed it in warm soapy water. I reused it the next day..and it preformed as before. I love the grill mats...especially for fish and seafood.

Grill mats are used on outdoor grills, by placing the mat on the grate and grilling food as you normally would. You can also use grill mats indoors as a cooking liner for cookies, wings, sandwich grills or even your George Foreman grill. Mats can be hand washed or placed in the top rack of the dishwasher.

The hear isn't all evenly distributed over the entire mat. The hot points are still on the grill grates themselves since they hold and conduct the heat for longer than the mat itself. The grill marks aren't quite as prominent as without a mat in my experience but they still definitely show up.

We use a scraper and scrape the griddle lightly before each use. The high heat pretty much burns off everything. I've never had to remove to clean. We've owned it for awhile now and it permanently stays on one side of our grill. It's the BEST purchase for our Weber we have ever made! We even purchased one for my father in law, and he loves it! Hope this helps!

It rests on whatever you are cooking and makes grill marks. I leave it one way for a minute or so and then turn it to get a checkerboard pattern.

I place the whole thing right on top of the grill. It goes with the rack/carrier for the stone that you place on the grill.

I guess I have never had that problem since I allow the grill to heat a few minutes before I add anything. I usually have to cook at medium since I find at higher temp the outside cooks too fast. Good luck

I use a wire bristle grill brush. Heat the grill on high for 15mins then use the wire brush to clean the grill. Don't forget to turn off the grill!
