Smash burgers on the Big Joe soapstone (feddit.uk)

Smash burgers. Fantastic.

The best burger I’ve ever had was the Green Chilli Cheese burger from Meat Liquor. No matter what I do, I can’t quite match that perfection. Has anyone come close?

It's a soapstone. It's a brilliant but expensive (and heavy) piece of non-porous rock. You can cook on it the way you cook on a cast iron griddle but because it's a piece of rock that doesn't get rusty you don't need to baby it in the same way you have to with cast iron.

You and I have very different relationships with our cast iron.

I keep my Kamado accessories outside, and moisture is an issue. The cast iron griddle for my Big Joe would rust pretty badly pretty quickly. The soapstone doesn't.
