LF Grill mat that is safe for composite decks

There are a number of grill mats/protectors out there that profess to be safe for composite decks but if you read reviews, ppl will say it discolored their composite decking. Does anyone here have a grill mat that they use that they say is actually safe for composite decking?

Grease is safer for the deck than a grill mat. Go bareback.

Bareback is risky if there is spillage

A little rub a dub dub and soap will clean that right up.

there is some grease splatter but not much. guessing periodic disposable cardboard is my answer.

I am surprised there's nothing really in the market that is "safe" and tested on Trex, Azek etc. especially if some ppl do charcoal grilling which can't be moped up.

I’m surprised it’s the grill mat discolouring the composite and not the UV degrading the uncovered areas...

Amazing to think people build decks out of something this temperamental. Even walking on these decks in the summer is difficult, the radiant heat is crazy! Burnt feet!?! WTF!

I have this on my composite and it works fine and does not damage the deck.

I have it under my gas grill and my charcoal grill.
