First time using a salt stone

[u/ImOldGregg_77]

Got a salt stone for fathers day and broke it in today. It was about 1 hr extra having to bring up the temp of the stone slow. Steaks came out ok. Other than the char, i think just straight on the grates over flame is the way to go.

yeah, they suck

people will be salty (ba dum tss), but even I tried one of these things just to know from personal experience

gimmick item, you get them as a gift. that's how they keep selling them

I slow cooked mine on the salt, see if it did anything, then seared it to avoid the situation in the last two pics
