Can't help you as to location. It was something I'd seen on TV; it was a
hotel restaurant. Perhaps this one:
http://www.dolphinbayhilo.com/cook.html. Have never been to Hawaii but
have been near warm lava in Iceland.

It actually said oven *or* grill. In that episode, the rocks were heated
in an outdoor grill.

That's a waste too. Oh, forget it... you didn't get my original
point. You just want to argue.

LOL no you do! One can heat the rocks in the grill *while preparing
other food*. Your point is that it is a waste of energy. Done correctly
(while cooking other food) it doesn't waste any energy at all.

I have a lot of dead wood kicking around the yard that needs to be
tidied up anyway. Heating rocks on my outdoor grill would waste no
energy. It would clean up my yard of dead twigs and branches. <g>

I'm considering wood grilling more frequently to save on electricity
costs.

There ya go. Our ancestors knew that hot rocks remaining after the wood
burnt off used energy that would otherwise be wasted. We do have a plum
tree that needs pruning. Might use that next year after it's dried
enough.

Sounds nice. :-)
I actually have bricks in the bottom of my grill as a heat sink. It
protects the bottom of the grill from burnout, and stores heat.
And yes, they are fireplace bricks!

That makes sense. We have a gas grill in addition to a tiny charcoal
grill. The gas grill uses little bricks to store heat and generate a bit
of smoke. Presumably could put those same bricks in the charcoal grill.
Worth a try the next time we get some charcoal.
