But, mind you, if you do not suffer the fate of the horror stories, there is a school of thought that a "seasoned" iron block, with decades of heat cycles, and with nice thick walls, is superior in many regards. Not the least of which can be your DEQ inspector, if that matters, which it might not, but it might....  Personally, give me a beautifully seasoned, original iron block any day of the week.  |
