Wooden deck? Brick-stone-cement sufaced patio? Driveway? Dirt? your
lawn?

The grease. . .drippings that can go all over the surface. . .is it a
problem, for ants, your dog, or stepping in it and getting it all into
the house? Best way to keep it from getting nasty?

Hadn't seen this discussed here before.

I've got my cookers at the edge of a brick patio, on the grass which
it wants to sink into (moving it has its problems), and the dog loves
to nose arount it and pee on it's corner. (Always glad I put a bit of
extra cayenne into the mops, for that very reason.)
What kinds of setups do you folks have?
