The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less.

Overview
The Mr. Bar-B-Q 06601Y is a grill topper measuring 16.26 x 23.93 inches, with a 1.18 inch profile that keeps it flat and stable on a grill grate. At 15.8 lb, the weight is unusually high for a topper in this category, which hints at thicker material construction designed to hold heat and withstand repeated high-heat sessions.
The larger footprint at nearly 24 inches long means you can lay out a full row of fish, a spread of vegetables or a mix of ingredients side by side without crowding. The low profile keeps food close to the grate level for even heating.
With 139 reviews and a 4.3 rating, feedback is solidly positive for a product in this price tier. Buyers appear to value the surface area and the sturdier feel compared to flimsy lightweight alternatives.

Performance notes
No fuel type, BTU or material data is available for this product. The 15.8 lb weight and 16.26 x 23.93 x 1.18 inch dimensions indicate a solid, heavy-gauge construction. The large surface area and substantial weight suggest it retains heat well once up to temperature, which can benefit foods that need consistent contact heat rather than fluctuating temperatures.
What buyers say

Frequently asked questions
How does the weight affect usability during grilling?
At 15.8 lb, this topper is heavier than most thin-gauge alternatives. Once placed on the grill, it stays put and does not shift easily. The tradeoff is that lifting and repositioning it mid-cook requires a sturdy mitt and two hands. For cooks who set it once and leave it in place, the weight is not a practical issue.
Is this suitable for fish or delicate proteins?
The flat, low-profile surface is a good match for fish fillets and other proteins that tend to stick to standard grill grates or break apart when flipped. Lightly oiling the surface before placing food helps reduce sticking. The large area also means you can lay multiple pieces flat without overlapping.
