"One of the blog posts I read about cast iron woks is that they retain heat better and get the stir fried items cooked more properly than other lighter weight woks (like my electric wok).

I was thinking more of fajitas than Chinese when I saw it, and since the Stok grill has come out with a cast iron wok to fit in their insert system, I thought I might try it. But then I found this, and $3 is no loss if I don't Ike it. And it will fit into the Stok insert opening.
I just haven't found any reference to this style Lodge so I'm wondering if its an older version, and what they retail for."
Hey if it fits the Stok grill-fantastic! I think you are right about needing implements to move the food, rather than moving the wok-at least as far as cast iron goes. I would imagine you could get the cast iron hotter than steel. Let us know if you use it!
