No please dont use linoleum as it lets off fumes when it is heated.  Ceramic tile, nonadhesive shelf liner, reptile carpet,newspaper or paper towels are all good non particle substrates.

I would assume that the first reply would be enough to tell you not to use it but to add to that it also conducts heat and will get waaaaaaay to hot.

What if you completely grout the surface of the lanolium?  Would that make a diffrence at all?

If you dont want to use tile. Use non adheasive shelf liner. But Lanolium is a big fat NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Oh, okay.  I initially bought ceramic tiles, but found out they didn't fit...and nobody I know has the tools to cut it. And my local Lowes doesn't cut ceramic. Sad  So today I went back to Lowes to return my tiles and buy textured tiles..and the right size.. But they were 7 dollars for a box of 9..and I'd need 6 boxes plus a few smaller tiles. And that kinda added up a bit more than expected. So, I bought a few lanolium tiles and planned on grouting them. But I guess I'll have to return those too. 

Maybe I'll just break and sand my tiles..and grout them in..that was my last resort option, because I didn't want something permanent. But that ironically enough seems to be the most easy

I love the hard tile.  Lowes cut it for me, I popped it in, and now all I do is admire it.  Good luck on finding the right solution!

Candice did the break and grout method and that viv looks great !  Also, if you happen to have a glass cutter, you can use that to score deep into the tile, and then using a straight edge, gently break it.
