A little while back I got a couple of Clean BBQ's grill liners from Amanda Gilmore to try out. These 3 mill aluminum foil grill sheets are supposed to keep your cooking grate clean, while still letting you grill effectively. After cooking up a couple of things (turkey breasts and burgers) I found that they do exactly what they say. You will need to oil these liners before you cook or foods will stick. Sticking would be very bad because the lightweight liner will lift right off with the food. Fortunately these are nice and clean out of the package and it's all the dirty stuff on your grill that is causing most of the sticking anyway.
Clean BBQ sheets are available at places like Home Depot and Wal-Mart or online. They will cost you a little under a dollar a piece (or nearly a buck a cookout). They do work effectively and will keep your grill grate clean. They also fit most grills and can be cut to fit smaller units. They will not keep the insides of your grill clean and should be see as a substitute for actually cleaning your grill once in a while. I would certainly recommend these if you are grilling something particularly messy (like saucing up some barbecue chicken). The website does warn that excessively fatty foods may cause flare-ups and that the Clean BBQ liners may exacerbate this situation.

Placed an order on April 7,2009 for 10 packs of grill liners and have not recieved–Please advise
Would not recommend using online order link for Clean BBQ. I was connected to something called Impact Hosting.com — submitted info including credit card number, but transaction not confirmed. Most unsatisfactory and worrisome. Clean BBQ website not accessible.
Re: Comment(2)above — I was able to access Clean BBQ website and emailed them. I received a timely reply acknowledging my order and confirming that Impact Hosting.com is their host site.
CLEAN BBQ GRILL COVERS ARE GREAT — I WOULD RECOMMEND TO EVERYONE!
I love these. Got some from a friend a while back. I want to order these online but can’t get thru to the online order website. What do I do?
Have orderded grill liners in the past,however,
I can’t seento get through to the on line website
at this time. Can you help ?
Absolutley love the Clean BBQ grill liners. I placed an order at there web site 3 weeks ago and nothing has happened. I have emailed them with no response. I did find them at Amazon.com. Do not order from the Clean BBQ website.
Finally, Contact with Clean BBQ! Placed my order over the phone. I had to send them an email telling them there website is not taking orders properly and to call me.
Love these grill covers. They are great especially for one or 2 people and you are in a hurry.
Well, it’s a fine product, but (as of 4/2011) greed has taken over. Price is now $30 for the pack of 12 almost everywhere. I found them for $13 at a Texas hardware store, and bought 2 packs. They work great. You can easily get two or three cookings out of one, but spray with Pam first.
