I just grabbed a couple of paver bricks sitting in front of my garage and threw them in.  Have been fine ever since.

I wrapped mine in foil, only to protect them from gathering gunk from various cooks. I'm not sure if it would retain odors or become a breeding ground for contaminants (unlikely/impossible due to the heat) but foil is cheap.

tks all.

I have some fire bricks that I use occasionally. I don't wrap them.

I don't wrap it up, but don't Leave it in either... she'll warp your grate

Preheating...
