Well, one of the slabs we poured on either side of our oven was meant to be for a tuscan style grill. I had planned, after seeing it done on a cooking show) to simply burn my wood or charcoal directly on the concrete slab.
Unfortunately a close friend, who happens to be a concrete contractor, stopped by and mentioned that he wasn't sure it was a good idea. He says he's seen concrete explode from direct contact with fire and coal.
So my questions are:
1. Can anyone verify this?
2. If indeed it's the case, can we rectify the situation by simply adding layer of firebrick?
I'll never hear the end of this debacle! But I'd rather that than chance someone getting hurt.
