Abstract
A cellular base member is disclosed for use, in particular, with a barbeque grill. The preferred base member is made of ceramic and provided in a honeycomb shape. When fixedly disposed between the heat source and the cooking surface of a barbeque grill, the disclosed cellular base member retains and evenly radiates heat to the cooking surface. Furthermore, should any fatty food substance or the like fall from the cooking surface, the cellular base member vaporizes such food substance before it reaches the heat source, thereby eliminating the problem of flame flare-up.
