Great for cooking a special way. Have had one for several years and every now and then it gets used. Nice addition to the EGGcessory box and great price.

I was thinking of getting a block and doing the sear part of a reverse sear on it. Would be nice if they had a sale on the 8x12. Guess I could do 2 of the 8x8 blocks.

Agree. These are great for random events. Especially for those who can't egg in the rain. I especially like using it to get my son involved in cooking.Columbia, SC --- LBGE 2011 -- MINI BGE 2013

I bought one last week. I'm worried about heating it too fast on the egg. They recommend slowly heating the block.Clinton, Iowa

Seafood, veggies, steaks, whatever you want. Think of it as a Cast Iron grate.

Before you start preparing the egg and heating it up, place the salt block in your oven at 250 degrees. Every fifteen minutes bump the oven temperature by 15-20 degrees until you are close to your desired egg temp. Move the block into the egg--you're ready to go and no danger of the block breaking.Knox, PA, Medium, Mini Max, Mini, Large KJ, grandma, handcyclist, eagle watcher, always in search of good chocolate.

I have found that when the egg fire gets going around 200F I place the salt block on the grate and let them both come to temp together. Works every time and I do not heat up the house.

Good suggestion. Proves it takes a village to nurture an egger!

@walt2015 i let it cool and dry out, then when i'm ready to use it again, a quick rinse under warm water will loosen all the crud off. i took pictures last time, if i didn't post them i'll put them up again.
has anyone tried the reverse sear with a steak on the salt block? i haven't, not sure if it would work well or not. I use mine for scallops and vegetables but not much else.Chicago, IL - Large and Small BGE - Weber Gasser and Kettle -
There's a guy on youtube that does all his cooking on a salt block. He cooks 2 steaks on the block from start to finish. I think a reverse sear would work.
