Grilling Mesh for fish
« on: April 24, 2015, 03:55:10 PM »
In the past I have used parchment paper for fish, but found this grilling mesh for $13.00 on Amazon. The size is 13"x18" which is larger than my rack on my #2, but I just put the long way towards the back and it seems to fit. Tonight I will be smoking four Grouper filets and I will let you know how it performs.

First smoke tonight with the mesh and it was pretty impressive. For dinner I smoked 1.6 lbs of grouper, cut into four filets.

When I removed the fish, they slid easily off of the mess and cleanup took about 2 minutes.

Looks like a nice solution for fish and veggies

This was on my list.  Do you think suitable for smoking nuts and bacon.  Both which now I do on the SI seafood rack.

Did the ends curl up after use?

I would say yes for nuts and most likely good for bacon also. I know the fish almost slid off on to the ground it was so slick. Cleanup was very easy and no curl after use.

Or anyone try this one?  Looks to be easier to cut.

Thanks

John,

I looked at this also and considered it, but they did not have the quick prime shipping.

I use Q-Matz, from Amazen Products.  Comes in rolls, so you can cut to any size.

I recently got some Frogmats, but haven't had a chance to use them yet.  They come in various sized and can be cut to fit.

I use Frogmats. They work great. A variety of sizes, or cut to fit. They appear to be a similar product to others mentioned in this post.
