I've heard that the oldtimers would never use stones that were submerged in water,such as a river or pond.If they're submerged for any length of time,they'd soak up some water,which would turn to steam when hot enough and crack to peices or even explode in somebodys face.
When my dad was alive we would go looking for indian stuff in fields after a good rain and we found a huge cooking rock about 300 lbs it is about 4 ft long and 3 ft wide and had a grouve in the middle of it for grease to run off and it had the smoke buildup under it.We ever used it ourself.
I am just guessing, that a stone supplier for house construction would probably have a piece of suitable granite I could buy. I've seen this method many times. It is important to stress that someone should NOT get there stone from a stream or creek, as these WILL explode (learned this the hard way with my first sweat lodge). Thanks for the video pal. I'm off to buy a small slab of granite! : ) ~Wolf

@mrshammerhankus your dad is right though. it happened to me once and would never do it again.
hlub82 5 months ago
@mrshammerhankus it happens because of moisture in the rock. you never use one from a river or after it has rained etc

Awesome. Does the rock ever crack?
I need to try this. Ever cook chicken this way?

Yes I have. I find it a far more even heat then just over the coals. The rock is now going into year 4 ... some small cracks.
