If I put it on the bosses new smooth cook top I'd be living in the shop permanently.
Hey @svk is it safe for farmer steve to use his cast iron on a smooth top stove? If so will you please inform his wife so he lives to tell about it? Mostly so he can post pix tho.

Some say it's safe to use cast on the smooth glass but the manual we got says no. 🤷‍♂️

Well compare to that it's down right balmy here near Syracuse NY! Lowest I saw on thermometer was a little after I got up and it was +12ºF.

I did get up either 2 or 3 am to put some more wood in the Vermont Casting stove. When I finally got out of bed for the day around 6:30 AM thermometer in living room read 74ºF.

Built this house in late 1970's with 2X6 studs on 24 inch centers and foam insulation on outside walls. In the attic it has 6 inch fiber glass with about 12 inches of cellulose on top of that. Also cement block full basement with outside walls studded up inside the blocks and 3.5 inches of fiberglass insulation. Almost for forgot there's Jotul 118 wood stove down there so it stays in the mid 60's to low 70's down there!

Cast iron is perfectly safe to use on flat top stoves.

With that being said if you drag a hot skillet across the glass you'll be moving into the shop as they may scratch. Also due to their weight, if you were to accidentally drip a skillet onto the glass it may break it (especially if the glass is hot). Additionally, use extra caution with older iron that has a heat ring on the bottom as you are concentrating the heat to a smaller section of the glass. But they are perfectly safe to use.

Or you can give them to your buddies who collect iron. ;)

We've been using cast iron on a glass top range for 5 years now with no issues at all.....not being any more careful than we would on a regular electric stove.....go for it!👍

just getting over a bout of RSV. had it in oct 2019 and it put me in the hospital for 3 days. i didn't feel bad, i just coughed my fool head off. slept in my a chair for 5 days because i couldnt lay down without hacking up my lungs. i have my little wood burner going too. stay warm
I know about coughing and my lungs was congested too from a respiratory infection. I went to the doctor and was in the ER for 6 hrs and got a albuterol breathing treatment every two hours and gave me a strong dose of mucinex.
Still got the nagging cough but i am better just tired from the lack of rest.
