Catherine,

     try using fire brick under your ceramic board to keep the heat
     where you want it.  I also use a board I cannot find anywhere.  It
     is called "homasote" and it is by far the best heat and flame
     retardant (non asbestos board) I have ever used.  To give you a
     clue,  I had it in my house on my worksurface when my house burned
     down.  Left standing?  the homosote board, the table it was on and
     the contents underneath. 

     So, If any of you fellow Orchideans out there know where to
     purchase homosote board I would be interested in finding some more.
