Yoder Smokers Grill Mat 36" x 48" (90cm x 120cm)
Made in the USA from 100% recycled material. Just under 1/4" thick. Oil and grease resistant with a UL 94 flame rating.
Anyone who has cooked on a pellet grill regularly knows the reality of grease drips, pellet dust, and the occasional spill. Whether your grill sits on timber decking, pavers, concrete, or tiles, a long smoke or a high-heat cook will test whatever surface is underneath it. The Yoder Smokers Grill Mat is a heavy-duty solution to that problem: a purpose-built mat that sits under your cooker and takes the impact so your surface does not have to.
Designed as a purpose-built grill mat, for pellet grills and smokers, it provides reliable protection for timber decking, concrete and tile surfaces under your cooker.
We recommend this to every customer who sets up their Yoder outdoors. It is a practical accessory that protects a surface you cannot easily repair, placed under a grill you have invested significantly in. The combination makes the decision straightforward.
What Makes This Mat Different from Generic Alternatives
Generic rubber mats are not designed with pellet grills and smokers in mind. The Yoder Smokers Grill Mat is made in the USA specifically for use under Yoder grills, and the construction reflects that.
At just under 1/4" thick, the mat has real substance underfoot. It is oil and grease resistant, which matters specifically for BBQ use where rendered fats and dripping grease are a consistent part of every cook. It cleans up with soapy water and holds up through repeated use without deteriorating.
The UL 94 flame rating means the material has been tested against flammability standards. This does not make it a fireproof surface, and it should not be used as one, but it does confirm the material meets a recognised safety benchmark relevant to use near heat sources.
The mat is made from 100% recycled material, manufactured in the USA, and carries the Yoder Smokers branding.
One Important Note Before You Unroll It
Because of the recycled material used in its construction, the mat will have a noticeable rubbery odour when first unrolled, and it will likely hold a curved shape from being rolled during shipping. Both of these are normal and resolve with time.
Yoder recommends unrolling the mat in a garage or outdoors rather than inside the home when you first receive it. Leave it flat to settle and the odour dissipates as it airs out. This is not a defect and does not affect the mat's performance.
Our Take on This Accessory
In our experience, this is one of those accessories that earns its place quickly. The mat is noticeably heavy and substantial when you handle it, and once it is down under the grill it stays where you put it. Grease, ash, and any spills during a cook land on it rather than your surface, and cleanup is as simple as hosing it down with soapy water.
If you are setting up a Yoder YS640s Competition Cart Pellet Grill on any surface you care about, whether that is a hardwood deck, composite decking, or good pavers, this mat is worth having from day one. It is the kind of addition that does its job quietly and consistently without requiring much thought after the initial setup.
We carry Australia's largest Yoder range and stock Yoder accessories at our Wetherill Park store. If you want to see the mat in person before purchasing, come in and we can show you alongside the grill it is designed to sit under.

Common Questions
Yoder Smokers Grill Mat, FAQs
What size is the mat, and will it fit under a YS640s?
The mat measures 36 x 48 inches (90 x 120 cm). It gives good coverage under the YS640 and YS640s on both the Standard Cart and the Competition Cart, reaching past the grill's footprint to catch grease drips and spills. If you have a non-standard cart setup or want to confirm fit, call 0434 010 411 before ordering.
Will it protect timber decking from my pellet grill?
Yes. The mat is oil and grease resistant, carries a UL 94 flame rating and is made for use under pellet grills on timber or composite decking, pavers, concrete and tiles. It catches grease drips, pellet dust and cooking spills before they reach your surface. It is not a fireproof surface and should not be used as one.
What is a UL 94 flame rating?
UL 94 is an Underwriters Laboratories standard that tests how a material behaves once ignited: whether it self-extinguishes, drips burning material or keeps burning after the flame is removed. For a mat that sits near a heat source, it confirms the material has been tested against a recognised flammability benchmark. It does not mean the mat can withstand direct, sustained flame.
Is there an odour when the mat is first unrolled?
Yes. The mat has a noticeable rubbery odour when it is first unrolled. This is normal and not a defect. Unroll it outdoors or in a garage rather than inside the house, and the odour will fade as it airs out.
The mat arrives rolled. Will it lie flat?
Yes. It holds a curved shape at first from being rolled for shipping, but it settles flat with time. Lay it flat on your outdoor surface and let it relax before you put the grill on it. Avoid sharp folds when storing it, as they can crease the material.
How do I clean it after a cook?
Soapy water and a scrubbing brush will handle grease and ash. Rinse it with a hose and let it dry completely before putting the grill back on it. A quick hose down after each cook keeps build-up under control.
Can I use it under other grills, not just a Yoder?
Yes. It suits any pellet grill, gas grill or charcoal smoker that needs surface protection. At 90 x 120 cm it covers most residential grill footprints.
What makes it different from a generic mat?
It is made in the USA from 100% recycled material, it is just under ¼ inch thick, and it combines oil and grease resistance with a UL 94 flame rating. Generic mats often do not combine all three. It is also protecting a surface that is costly to repair, such as timber decking.
How should I store it?
Store it flat where possible, for example on a garage floor, so it does not curl again. If you need to roll it, roll it loosely and avoid sharp folds. If it has been stored in a closed space, let it air out before use.
Can I see it in person before buying?
Yes. The Yoder Smokers Grill Mat is on display at our Wetherill Park showroom, home to Australia's largest Yoder range. Call 0434 010 411 to book a visit.
