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

Thanks for your reply, these mats are essentially giant double sided sticky sheets that you adhere to the wall then stick normal tile on before grouting. They're meant to replace thinset. So the tile will be the same it's just the mounting method that's different
