I've used one a few years back. Worked fine but I kept the fire at a reasonable level. No melting but it did blacken where it rested on the grate. Decided it wasn't worth it for future trips since I still needed to carry a fry pan for other things.

Thanks shouldertripper and schweady - found them. Not sure they are that big of an upgrade from what we’re already using. Appreciate the responses and info.

That ain’t gonna work.

If you end up giving them a try report back with your impressions, I would be curious to hear how they compare.

That would be they- although I’ve seen mostly 2 packs From Home Depot etc. the 2-pack is about $15. I’m intrigued; Amazon is the better deal for sure.

I was just cruising YouTube and saw a piece of gear that I might “need”. It appeared in videos by Derek Denzel and HamerNaturePhotos. At first I thought it was a piece of cardboard. But it appeared to be a griddle that could roll up. It was very thin and went straight on the fire grate. They were cooking French toast and pancakes. Anyone know what this might be or who is making it? Any info would be appreciated. Happy Paddling.

You'll see those for sale in most outdoor grilling equipment areas. Lots of different brand names and varying qualities. No firsthand experiences, but some friends think they're okay.

I'm guessing you were seeing one of those copper grill mats. As mentioned, they are in about any store that has grilling supplies. I have heard they work fairly well, but I've never tried them as I like longer lasting gear and I imagine these wear out quite quickly, although may be more than a single use if you go easy on them.

I would love to know if these would work with a two burner camp stove as a griddle to cook pancakes.

Yes I bought one of these in the ~$40 range a couple of years ago and it melted over the campfire on the 2nd or 3rd use.

We started to use the copper mat by Yoshi. It worked well, but after a couple trips, I found there were another copper mats that are about twice as thick (.025).
The thicker mat worked better since it didn't sag when the grates were further apart and cooking something like brats. Yoshi is good for 500 degrees and the thicker ones 550-600 degrees. They don't like direct flames.
We take 2 in case one gets damaged... but that hasn't happened yet. After rolling up, it stores inside our paper towel roll and weight is negligible.
Ours is used for toasting English muffins, bacon, sausage, brats etc. We don't consider it a replacement for a frying pan.
