Anyone use tile adhesive mats for backsplashes? (hexbear.net)

Putting up a kitchen backsplash. Wife thinks adhesive mats are the way to go, I would prefer thinset. There's a section that will go behind the stove so will likely see a good amount of steam. Not sure if that would qualify as a "high moisture location" where adhesive mats are counterindicated

should be fine, I feel like kitchen backsplashes are the single most common use for those lol And they mostly mean dont use it in a bathroom, IMO. cant go wrong with thinset but its a lot more work
