    I have been after one of these for years, they are great fun. Normally you sprinkle a little salt on the surface and cook tiny bits of meat.

    A friend had one and it was great except I'm told the stones are prone to cracking.

  • It might sound daft, but I've bought two of these things. When I asked at aldi what fuel to use in the burners, no one knew!!
    When I asked at my hardware store, the guy said "it might be meths, but that would stink!"
    What do I use???

    You use meths (just like a fondue burner) -- and it doesn't stink.
  • Bought one of these in Belgium last year. There is a special gel you buy for the burners. Never seen it anywhere here though.

    Costco used to sell that gel stuff.
  • Most camping shops sell the gel.

    I'm tempted by one of these.....I went to a restaurant here in Poole where the food comes sizzling on a bitg piece of 'volcano' stone and you cook it further on your plate - good fun!

    Hi Keren, what place in Poole was that? Sounds great!
    Do not speak- unless it improves on silence.
  • hi davet - it is the Volcano Stone on Ashley Road, the mixed grill is good!
    :D"Stay Wonky":D
