Testing new Fish Mat with Salmon

Used a few Salmon fillets to test out my new Fish Mats. Seasoned 2 fillets with the wife's favorite, Kikkoman Teriyaki Baste & Glaze with Honey & Pineapple and the other 2 fillets with a dash of Old Bay & Fagundes Seasonings.

Preheated the MAK to 400ºF using some Broadleaf 60/40 Alder pellets. Put the Salmon fillets skin side down.

Checked the Salmon after 15 minutes and wound up pulling them at the 18 minute mark when the Salmon easily flaked away with a fork. The Fish Mat worked really great. The Salmon did not stick to the mat and sure made the cleanup easy. I used to grill my Salmon inside a foil boat in my propane grill. I like the way this turned out better. Will be using the Fish Mat for other types of fish soon.

which is better? frogmat or fishmat?

Since you asked Uinta smoking I just compared a frogmat with the type of fish mat that I have. Turns out the size of the squares are identical. So I guess you can use either/or and they should both function the same!!

When I bought my MAK it seemed like a good idea to buy both at the time :D

What's the price difference between the two? I assume the fishmat with it's additional non stick coating and covered edges is more expensive and only comes in set sizes??
