The Story Behind Fat Trap: A BBQ Cleaner’s Mission to Fix a Broken System

Hi, I’m Richard Major—BBQ Cleaner, Problem-Solver, and Founder of Fat Trap.

After personally cleaning over 10,000 barbecues, I’ve seen it all—the grease, the grime, and the damage that most grill owners don’t even realize is happening. But there was one problem that drove me absolutely mad: flimsy aluminum drip pan liners.

The Frustration That Sparked a Revolution

The aluminum liners found in most barbecues are doomed to fail. I’ve watched them corrode, buckle, and leak toxic sludge into grills, all because of the unavoidable combination of salt, fat, and heat. The worst part?

You’re supposed to replace them every 5 cooks!

Nobody does that. Instead, grease builds up, rots the pan itself, and turns into a nightmare to clean. That’s when I realized:

This wasn’t just an inconvenience—it was a design flaw.

The Birth of Fat Trap

I searched high and low for a better, longer-lasting solution—something that could withstand the heat, repel grease, and actually protect your grill.

I found nothing.

So, I took matters into my own hands. I worked directly with manufacturers to create Fat Trap®—the first-ever silicone drip pan liner designed to eliminate disposable foil forever.

Why Fat Trap is a Game Changer

We fixed what foil couldn’t:

• No More Corrosion – Food-grade silicone resists grease, salt, and heat up to 445°F.
• 100+ Liners Saved Per Year – Reuse it for years, then recycle responsibly.
• Set It and Forget It – Two-year warranty so you can grill harder, stress-free.

Battle-Tested on the Front Lines

I didn’t just create this product—I put it through the wringer. Fat Trap has survived the harsh, salty air of Vancouver Island, where I clean grills daily. If it can withstand those conditions, it’ll thrive in your backyard.

Our Mission: Make Grilling Cleaner, Greener, and Hassle-Free

Fat Trap isn’t just a product—it’s a rebellion against wasteful, poorly designed grill accessories. We’re here to:

• Save You Money – No more wasting cash on flimsy foil liners.
• Save Your Time – Fat Trap makes cleanup effortless. If it’s full of grease, just freeze it, pop out the solid grease puck, and toss it.
• Save the Planet – Less waste, less landfill, better grilling.
