grill mat helps keep the grates clean and makes cleanup a breeze

The BBQ grill mat works great and is so easy to clean! I also bought one for a co-worker and he loves it, he bought one for a friend and so on... This is what sliced bread was back in the day... I LOVE these YRYM HT grill sheets. Simply OUTSTANDING!!! No longer do I endure flame-ups, burnt or scorched items. The items I'm preparing baste in their own juices without unintended flame-up. They are highly durable, easy to clean... Much better than cleaning my grill grates I assure you! Simply the best thing that complemented my grilling experience in years if ever... Well done! Sturdy and easy to wash and put in the dishwasher, Also it is almost impossible to burn food. I tried using this product today along with another product. I placed this mat on one side of my gas grill and the other product on the other side. Well this product is AWESOME. Easy to use, held up nicely and very very easy to clean.

Love using this YRYM HT grill mat when cooking fish. Cooks evenly helps keep fish moist. Love the barbecue mat! A quality product at a great value. It helps retain some of the moisture from dropping through the grate. Makes grill cleanup much easier. Make sure you get bigger size to cover your grill. It's easy to cut if it’s too large. Heavy duty , fine quality . Perfect for Char-Broil electric grill . Food cooks great ! Ribs, steak , chicken . Bought this to use in the bottom of my new Breville Smart Oven Air as a crumb tray liner, because it would be easier to clean than the tray. I picked YRYM HT because of the high reviews and because it has a long usage life. Good value for money as in, you get what you pay for!

I was able to get grill marks and everything: Chicken, steak, Chops were cooked same as if they were on the grates. Just had the grill thoroughly cleaned and it is looking spotless. This grill mat helps keep the grates clean and makes cleanup a breeze. The BBQ grill mat is working alright. They seem to spread the grill heat and are like cooking in a pan.  I wish I knew of this product when I first purchased my new grill. Keeps everything clean. It's thick and easy to wash. I have only used this mat one time and it worked like a charm. First time in a long time I have not spent 20 or more minutes cleaning the grill after using. This time I removed the mat and closed the lid. The mat took a little "elbow grease" to clean, but definitely much easier than cleaning the grill!

What have I been doing on the grill before I bought this grill mat. It's perfect. No more grease dripping down and causing fires under the grill. Works absolutely perfectly and cleans up nicely. Used it for the first time today. We got perfect burnt mark. Very impressed with how easy it is to clean the mat. It was good as new after an easy rinse and scrub with minimal effort. I'm impressed with this product, and love the fact that it keeps the grille clean. Have used it for cooking steaks, chicken and veggies and it works as advertised. Best to let the mats cool and the collected grease to set before removing from the grille. Cleaning is a snap with Dawn and a sponge.

barbecue mat is must have product for grill and barbecue

I have 3 brands of barbecue mat. These are easier to clean after use. Remove from grill when still warm, spray with 409 or white vinegar in spray bottle. Then rinse off in the sink. Then sponge and liquid detergent, hang to dry. I like the size as it is all usable space when compared to other versions which have a thick border. Also needed one that was smaller, these can be cut to size with scissors. Use them on my Traeger and Oklahoma Joe Offset and they do not obstruct the smoke or heat. When I do an 8 hour cook, it is easy to turn the meat around when time to mop or spray with juice. Just grab one end of mat and slide around in circle to spray other side. Also makes it much easier when flipping the meat. Grabbing a 2nd set to safe keeping although still using original set year round.

I was very excited about the barbecue mat, it'd be perfect for fish or veggies or other items we like to grill, but that either stick to the grill grated or fall through. I used it for the first time last night for some marinated beef. I kept the grill under 400- recommended to keep under 500 degrees for the barbecue mat, there is no of the beef drippings . When I removed the BBQ grill mat after cooking and starting washing it (immediately per the recommendations on the box), There are two more in the set and this one is still usable until the entire thing burns away.


I have used the BBQ grill mat on my outdoor grill for grilled veggies and also in my smoker for smoked Pork Belly pieces. *meat candy!* They worked great. I was worried that washing them would be difficult but I soaked them in a sink of hot detergent water and the next morning scrubbed with a bristle brush and they came clean. Very non-stick and I like it because my food doesn’t fall through my grates. Cleans well, but some of the non-stick coating came off while cleaning. Hopefully still works great. I would recommend spraying it with non-stick stuff with every use. Very easy to clean nothing sticks to it I want to use it a few more times before I did a review and it works awesome. The mesh grill mats do make cleanup significantly easier. After they cool I transfer to the sink w soapy water and scrub them gently w a brush.

I used the barbecue mat to grill shrimp and veggies and they held up to the heat. The clean up was easy , I wiped it down with paper towel s while holding it with my tongs. After it cooled down I washed it soapy water and a sponge and rinsed. A good product and worth the price. You can slide hamburgers around on these mats like they are pucks on ice. I did not use a dishwasher, just scrubbed them flat on my sink. Clean nicely. I love these things. You can slide hamburgers around on these mats like they are pucks on ice. I did not use a dishwasher, just scrubbed them flat on my sink. Clean nicely. I love these things. When my item arrived I was very surprised at how big the mats were. I was honestly expecting something half the size. I’m very excited to start using these on our grill. Will update again once we do.

what are benefits of smoking meat with butcher paper

A friend let me know about the benefits of smoking meat with butcher paper. Picked one brown butcher paper roll on Amazon, tried it & ordered more rolls to give to friends !  I recently used it to wrap my brisket in the smoker. After I smoked the brisket for several hours I then double wrapped it with this paper and smoked it for a few more hours. The brown butcher paper helped the internal temp of the brisket to get up to 200 degrees which is just where I like it. It also retained moisture and left an incredible bark on my brisket. Afterwards, I left the brisket in the paper and wrapped it up into a towel and threw it in a cooler for a couple hours to let it rest. I also use it when I buy large cuts or steak and cut and wrap my own meat. This stuff is great. Exactly what we were looking for to wrap our smoked meats!

I used the brown butcher paper several times to wrap meat that I had been smoking and put back in the smoker for several hours. It preserved the juices and the meat was much more tender than before I wrapped it. I found that tip several places on internet. If you read something that says wrap in butcher paper, this it. Very happy with the quality of the brown butcher paper and fast delivery. Wrapped my brisket after 7 hours in this paper and then after 7 more hours it came out very tender and juicy. I would recommend this for sure.

The butcher paper helped me make the best brisket I've ever smoked. It helps get the meat up to temp without drying out.Made some killer baby back ribs using this paper to wrap for 2 hours on the 2-2-1 method. Bark came out perfect. Not soggy and not too dry. It held the juices without leaking through. I also sometimes use it to protect my counters during messy cooking projects. The meat settled just right and had no taste or discoloration from the paper.  I wish I had room in my kitchen to have it in a dispenser on the counter. This method of wrapping is a great alternative to foil.

I mostly use butcher paper for smoking and wrapping meets. But my wonderful girlfriend suggested we use it for table covering for picnic tables. Works and looks great. I love using the butcher's paper smoking meat are just for wrapping and putting in the freezer. This paper is very durable. I wasn't going to write a review because we purchased it for something totally different. We use this paper to line our parrots cages. It's cleaner than using newspaper, and I don't have to use as many layers.

butcher paper makes smoking meat juicier and more flavorful

I ordered the butcher paper to use on the grill and smoker and it will be very useful. We heard about this paper from a butcher. It is all we use now to smoking meats! Using this paper instead of foil takes the flavor to a whole new level. I primarily bought this to wrap my lunch sandwiches in before I put them in the oven or toaster oven. Much cheaper than parchment paper, and it allows more heat through for a faster toasting compared to aluminum foil. However, I will start using it this spring to wrap meat for smoking my grill. 

My husband has always made his Boston pork butt wrapped in aluminum foil. He read to try the butcher paper and the difference is phenomenal! This product made the meat juicier, more flavorful and was easy to use.

Finally pulled the trigger on getting some brown butcher paper for when I'm smoking briskets, pork shoulders, ribs and everything else. So far, I have only used the brown butcher paper on St. Louis spare ribs and two pork shoulders for pulled pork. By wrapping my smoked meat in the butcher paper after 3-4 hours on the smoker, I get a better end product that isn’t charred. The butcher paper lets the meat continue to cook while letting the meat finish to a tender finish. Don’t know what I would ever do without it. Paper is thin enough to make folds and wrap into itself, but thick enough to not let juices out when wrapped. Packaging was very nice and sturdy. I would buy this brand again, but i have 175 ft to go through first. Next purchase might be bigger than 18 inches.

It worked wonderfully for what I planned to use it for and my husband is using it for wrapping his ribs when he makes BBQ ribs on the grill. Butcher paper is great. After smoking brisket for several hours I wrap it good in this paper and put it back on to cook another few hours. Meat comes out juicy and tender. Awesome product to finish your perfect flavor of bbq in. Keeps most very warm and juices do not bleed through.

Using this instead of aluminum foil for cooking brisket on the smoker. It breathes some, so the meat inside does not boil in it's own juices. Also keeps the meat warm when wrapped up well. The paper is not like foil in that it does let some moisture through but it still keeps the meat moist. I have been satisfied with the results when using this paper.

brown butcher paper works wonderfully for use on the smoker

BEST Butcher Paper I have ever used! Believe me when I say, not all Butcher Paper is created equal. Great quality, works awesome on the smoker or in the Fridge. Will buy again and again! I purchased it for barbecue, now I'm using it nonstop in the kitchen to wrap everything. Excellent purchase for the money. Used it on a brisket and I was not disappointed. It protected the bark and held together nicely when removing from the pit. Great product! Excellent quality! I will not smoke anything else without it! Great service and I Highly Recommend! Paper is nice and thick worked great. I used it to wrap a brisket while on my smoker.

The brown butcher paper works way better than foil to wrap meats to get you past the stall of the meat. In my experience you also get a harder bark on the outside of your meat. This paper also handles the grease from the meat without ripping. This butcher paper keeps meat moist in my smoke, while maintaining the bark on the meat. Really good. Wanted some unlined butcher paper for use in the 3-2-1 metod of smoking pork ribs. Wanted to get away from foil, which makes the smokey bark mushy. This product worked well, and the first time I tried it, the ribs came out competition perfect!!!Product is great! Worked amazing on my brisket! 

The butcher paper was really good. I used it to cover my counters when I prepared my brisket and ribs to keep things clean and tidy. I used it to wrap and cook a brisket on my vertical charcoal smoker and it performed excellent. The only draw back was that it didn't cover the brisket as well as I would have liked. Next time I buy brown butcher paper I will get a 24" wide roll for greater flexibility. Works very well, much better than foil to wrap your briskets while smoking. I had never heard of if before, but now find it indispensable in cooking for our family. This works wonderfully for use on the smoker. And, I also use it to wrap and store my smoked cheeses. I would highly recommend this product.

I am impressed with the bark retention that I got using this butcher paper. In the past I’ve wrapped my brisket in aluminum to finish the cooking... no more. Great quality product. This works quite well! I was pleasantly surprised that there were still bark on the pork shoulders after wrapping. Good product! Great product, My brisket came out nice and moist without the wet steamed crust like with foil. I wanted a product to use instead of foil on our smoker, and this will do the job!  That's a huge amount of butcher paper...I'll never run out!

how about YRYM HT non stick grill mat

The good of the non stick grill mat was I grilled sprouts Italian chicken sausage sweet and the hot. The sausage cooked great and did not stick to the mat. So for that I would give it a 5 star rating.  The grease from the sausage was burned onto the mat and even after soaking it in really hot soapy water it would not come off. I finally had to take a knife and scrape it. For this I would say the rating would be a -1 if that were available. I was really disappointed. The pictures are obviously from after I had soaked the mat for almost an hour and scrubbed with a scratchy sponge we use for Teflon coated pans that won't scratch. NOW HAVING SAID THAT: I have two grill mats left

I have now used the non stick grill mat to do veggies, hash browns, eggs, and bacon wrapped peppers. It isn't like a griddle, but close and it is really nice to use a gas grille to cook a wide variety of different things. I have had a lot of fun trying to figure what to try to cook next on them. So far, they have been truly non stick as well.  We used them on the charcoal grill the other night when I made shish kebabs. they had nice grill marks and nothing fell through the grill. Clean up was very easy. Bought this to use for a cookout, and it worked great. The burgers turned out juicy, and were cooked without being burnt. It made it easier to keep them from sticking to the grill, and clean up was a breeze. Well worth the money.


I love the BBQ Grill Mat. I just cooked 21 racks of Ribs on them and they work great. No Flames with the mats. I have told and few of my friends and they plan on ordering them.. These work really well and this is a great bargain in 3 pack for so much less than other advertised products. Works in oven and on grill. No stick no loss of food between grill grates. Have used these mats several times now and they work great. Wash them off in the sink and use again.

Used it on ny new grill and my burgers came out perfect! We left 2 burgers on too long and the burnt was hard to get off of the mat. I could probably get a soft chore boy. They are smooth for the food to gill on but the cleanup is too much. Either way I cleaned enough off to use again and I have more mats to use! I would recommend. I was skeptical at first and ended up knowing that I'll never be without grill mats. These are the buy for the money and work over and over and over.

The butcher paper is great for wrapping meat

I used the butcher paper as part of a baby shower food table. I laid out charcuterie and croissant sandwiches piled up. It was lovely and I loved that this was an affordable, food safe product. Very happy with my purchase.  This is some really thick, good quality butcher paper. I’ve already used it to wrap sandwiches and I’ve also let my kids draw on it and used that piece to wrap a gift. That came out really nice and the gift recipient loved their customized wrapping paper. It comes with the twine to tie it up with too. I will start using this to wrap everything because I’m not a fan of foil and I don't like parchment paper.

The butcher paper is great for being occasion neutral. Used for Christmas with bows and ribbons with holiday theme. Will use for birthdays and other occasions using bright bows and ribbons. Thick and sturdy like expensive tools of paper. Width of paper is not as wide so you may have to adjust wrapping style with larger packages but I found it well worth it. Decent quality. Better than I expected for the price. Works great wrapping meat and sticking it into the fridge. Also been using it to keep the table clean for those big family and friends meals we have been having.Thick paper and easy to work with. This is great paper to use for wrapping. It comes with 2 rolls of twine. Everything you need to wrap custom Christmas presents.

Never used butcher paper roll before. Always used aluminum foil but never again. For grillers, this is the only option. Lets your food breath and tenderize. Great paper for wrapping meats during grilling process. I use this to wrap brisket and ribs on the smoker and it works great. Seems to work better than foil. First time using butcher paper instead of foil. Slow smoked a chuck roast then wrapped in the butcher paper till meat reached 200 degrees. Came out amazing, tender and juicy!!  Never used this before. Always used aluminum foil but never again. For grillers, this is the only option. Lets your food breath and tenderize.

The butcher paper is nice and with good quality, you can use in the kitchen, warp a gift. Great for gift-wrapping. Lasted through 40 gifts for the Holidays and still have half of the roll left. I bought this brown paper roll to wrap presents. It’s very easy to use and it’s not too thick or too thin. Great quality paper. It also comes with the twine. For those saying their order did not come with the twine, you should take the end cap off and look inside the tube.
