I use my foam "sit-pad" that's stiff enough for the task--about a foot square. Haven't melted it yet. smile

A clever device I've seen but never bothered to make is a piece of hose with a short length of metal tube at the end. Put the tube next to the coals and blow through the hose. Doesn't seem to take much breath because the airstream is directed right where needed.

Cheers,
