Just curious Steve, How much propane did you use for your bakes? [/B]
I basically had the BBQ running full blast for 6 hours. I recon I ran through half a tank of propane. My burners are busted on that BBQ so it's basically cooking on an open flame. I had a little blackening in spots on the underside of the rock (it came right off) but I'm REALLY HAPPY with the way my technique 2 rocks turned out. My technique 1 rocks are going in the garbage.

It basically took me 3 batches to get to the point where I'm happy with my process. I'll try and take some pictures of the rock I made yesterday and post them. I'm probably going to run another batch today. Just need more salt .

If these rocks cure OK, I think I'd REALLY recommend baking the rocks if you have the means. It gives you pretty quick feedback if the mix you used is going to work and seems to make the rocks extremely strong.
