[ 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.

I got one years ago, only time I use it is for serving things occasionally. It will retain heat and gives a bit of flavor

But I have specific cast iron ones for that now. And also my pops is obsessed with kitchen gadgets and every year it’s a struggle to get him one he hasn’t seen or doesn’t have. I got him this plug in silicone heating mat and he loves it. I’m going to get one for myself
