I have a couple, it definitely helps reduce the spatter on everything else, but most of the damage to me is done when I go in to flip stuff. Bacon is particularly bad because there is a lot to flip & I have to work pretty quickly. The screens are mostly just another thing to clean & since I'm outside I mostly don't bother.
I can turn the flame up & down, & my goal is to build a replacement for the grill that gives me a lever to move the pan up & away from the heat with a single lever pull. That won't completely solve it either though because the pan still holds heat really well.
Nitrile gloves would probably be enough to prevent most of the burns. I already wear an apron. I should probably keep some safety glasses handy too though. Gonna be cooking like a mad scientist π
