Until last year, I used mine on an insert for my Jenn-Aire that had cast iron cooking eyes. It took forever to get a cast iron pan heated, but once it was warm, between the eye and the pan, it would stay hot for a very long time. Was a royal PITA when lower temps were called for, and hard as heck to regulate. I now use them on an insert that has radiant heat coils under the glass, where the heat is almost instantaneous. What a BIG difference! Should have tossed the cast iron eye inserts years ago!
The radiant eyes are still not as good from a heat control point as gas would be, but alas, we don't have gas available where we live (except propane). I'm not a big proponent of cooking with LP. Too finicky in colder weather, and doesn't put out as much BTUs as natural gas.
Maybe one day.....
