My favorite piece of cast iron is my frying pan! You'd be hard pressed to get me cook cakes on anything else! Or bacon, or filler with mix and throw her in the oven for some corn bread! Hmmm I'm getting hungry now...
That's some good kooking cast iron Gunther and Dollarbill. I'm a flooring contracter so I know all about floor grates and your rught about the old heavy cast iron ones being the best, I know a lady that had a large 3'x3' one in her hall, sent it out to the bodyshop t0 be painted and clearcoated a light green color - looks great.
