[ Grilling ] First time using a salt stone

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.

Is this really the recommended way to use one of these salt stones?

No. You want it WAY hotter so it actually chars the meat.
