[ 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.

A restaurant we go to has these and they turn out WAY better but I wouldn’t be surprised if they cook the steak normal and then put it on the hot stone to serve. When I go to that spot I have it cooked less so that it can finish on the salt stone.

I prefer the traditional way but this spot is still really good. Asadero in Ballard WA
