Ran across this today. Since Egullet seems to be my best source on cast iron information, I am curious about your thoughts. The first thing that I think when I hear someone bragging about thin cast iron is "What's the point of that?" My understanding is that cast iron conducts heat poorly, and that its primary advantage is its thermal mass. At least that is how I use it. Is this something that would interest you? Is there something that I am missing here?
