When you use a gas burner, and you crank it up, it produces some heat that is directed down, into whatever its sitting on,
What should you use to make the heat shield?
Fibreboard?
I'm thinking of building up a base with besa blocks, then a concrete-board type sheet, then some clinker bricks or something else on top of that...
I used to use a large cast iron hotplate, but aside from the greasy black issue, which is a no no for beer, the poor wooden bench that this was placed on, now has griddle marks on it, good for steak, but not good for a work bench
Ideally I'd like to perhaps use the bigger pavers that you use in a pizza oven, but I'm not sure where to source them from
