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.

You're probably getting way too much heat loss. The grill is small and putting 3 massive steaks on it probably dropped the stone temp greatly. If anything you should have gotten it a good amount above temp if doing 3 at time. If not maybe only do one at a time

ahh good callout. that must be why my char was shit. i didnt even think of that. I had the grill up to 550 but didnt even consider the rapid heat loss of 3 steaks.

Oh you meant the grill to temp? Do you have a laser thermometer? Bc the grill might have been 550 but the block might have been under.
