Looking to get a grill mat to sit underneath the large in the nest. Any suggestions?

    Found a round one at Lowes.

    Anyone know if 30X30 would fit under the large nest with a little overlap?

    I picked one up at Home Depot about two years ago.  I believe it was made by Apache something. Works great!

    Large BGE, 2 Tier Adjustable Swing Rack System, three (3) bricks from Home Depot for raised direct, Blackstone 22" Griddle - Finally have a decent cooking area!

    Thanks @Scott805 - I'll check them out and see what they have in stock.

    I like the rectangular ones that are brownish in color and constructed of a concrete laminate material on tile board. Last a long time and are fire proof.

    Just be sure to get a fire retardant one. A lot of them are for prevention of stains only.

    I believe those are called "The Original Grill Pad" from my research. I saw them in Lowes the other day. Seem like they'd be pretty good.

    EDIT - just ordered the black one off Amazon. Free 2-day shipping was the kicker.

    A little expensive but I have had one for a little over 5 years and it is still in pretty good shape. No issues with sparks.

    I have a round one that I roll my medium nest on to to use, but then take it up and store it in the garage since my deck is wooden. Left down they can really stain wood by blocking sunlight and trapping moisture. May be too much of a hassle for some people, but after seeing what has happened to others I don't mind in the least!

    Thanks @keepervodeflame and @RRP.

    Ron I think you bring up a great point. I will probably put the mat out only when I grill since my egg is in the rolling nest it won't be a huge deal.
