Has anyone converted a newer BBQ with splash shield to Lava rocks? The newer these BBQ's get the less n less I find a steak or burgers taste special opposed to old skool charcoal. At least the lava rock was closer, find splash shield version not all that much better vs frying a steak in an iron pan.
Ya ya ya read all about they dropped lava rock because of bacteria concerns, honestly think it's gotta be cheaper to build splash shield vs iron grate or bars plus lave rocks.
