I have not but I have always been intrigued. How much salt does it impart?
Go ahead and admit it, you thought you were supposed to lick it.

it you place a tomato or veggie slice on it will suck up salt very quickly. probably 5 minutes is your max. time for veggies.
imparts a great flavor and fantastic presentation but don't let them sit there too long
Interesting, thanks. Have you done a steak on it yet? I want to try one over coals vs. gas.
i haven't tried that yet but looking forward to it. The most important thing to do is season the block by placing it in the oven at warm for 30 minutes and increasing the temp. every 30 minutes be 50 degrees until you get to 500 and after 30 minutes at 500 just turn the oven off and let it cool. they say that keeps it from exploding when grilling on it. Also my gas grill scares me a bit as it gets to over 750 degrees which might be too much.

Please let us know how it turns out. I watch a lot of cooking shows and have seen them used on there but have never bought one. I may have to, now.
I wonder if it would feel like getting shot with rock salt out of a 12 Gauge if that thing explodes?
I wouldn't want to be around to find out.

From what i understand correctly it is more like cracking into several pieces and not really much of an explosion but i would rather not find out.
Makes sense. Are they spendy?
Added to my list.
Anything to enhance my limited grilling time is a must and this looks very interesting.
