Has anyone tried using a stone grill?

For example:

They look kinda cute but I had a few questions.

1) I saw mentioned somewhere that you should heat the stone in the oven for an hour before. Is this the case with all stones? Don't the flames heat it enough?

2) Can you use them inside a motorhome? You use them at the kitchen table so surely they would be safe inside a motorhome? Or would this invalidate the insurance?

3) Carrying fuel paste onboard - they are sealed by manufacturer. There are no laws in certain countries to say you can't carry these?

on a lighter note:

4) Are they fun to use?

I think you need to put in your postcode to see if they sell in your local area.

Ok try this for a bad photo:

sorry have just seen that you have to put post code in, have looked at it,it is a bit like a food warmer, not sure if I would like one in my van, prefer to be able to just use knob or switch to turn anything off.but at that price I would get one and try it in my kitchen first.

Bought one in France a few years ago and love it. Pop the stone in the oven a couple of hours before you use it, while you slice up really thin the veggies and meat you want. Lay the stuff out in the middle if the table, pulll the stone from the oven, pour the wine and enjoy a long lazt interesting meal where your guests cook their own dinner!

Slithers of onion and garlic cooked on the stone over king prawns and scallops works very well, as does fine sliced chicked and steak! Hhhmmn. getting hungry already Very Happy

sounds fantastic. probably not something to use in the motorhome though if you need the oven running for so long?

At that price they just look like a great stocking filler for a couple of people!

I doubt that our van oven - a Stoves one- would get hot enough even on the highest setting to heat one of these to the necessary temperature.

It's not really hot enough to cook a crisp pizza.

We use the oven in the van, the temperature is not too critical, the couple of hours is probably an over kill as well. If we drank less wine while chopping things up it could probably be reduced Very Happy

Its another version of a fondue party. In Belgium the stone is called a pierrearde. The one I have also has raclet pans which fit in underneath.

We have an electric one bought in France, its great, use it at home, too big for M/H as its for 8, but over there they sell ones small enough for 2.

They are good fun, melt cheese under & cook meat or fish on top.
