Anyone knows where to buy volcanic (lava) stones for the BBQ? I have been to/called Ferreteria Americana, Hache, Unidos, Cuesta, Nacional, Pricesmart?and nothing! I used to see them everywhere but now they are nowhere to be found. :surprised

Suprised Hache doesn't have them any more. I bought 2 packages of lava like stones there last summer.

In a week? The BBQ was on last night and they work great, keeps the heat real well, even had to keep gas on low. Let me know when you're free!

The ceramic blocks work very well, IMO, moreso than lava rocks because the don't accumulate fat as much causing flare up. They alos don't have the "hot spots" like lava rocks seem to have.
