You are speaking my language right there.  I would to have had to have thrown a little pork loin on next to the skillet.  Sweet potatoes and pork are one of those marriages made in heaven.  Nice job.

Looks and sounds great!  Question -- why the griddle under the pan? (I don't know that much about cast iron....yet!)

John,

If you don't put the griddle under that hot of a fire, you risk warping the pan.  That fire will warp the tar out of that griddle - also starts flaking off layers.

Put the pan on the griddle - plenty hot and nothing burns.  Just my experience.

and yes, that's a chargriller - which I 'tolerate', but it comes in darn handy for quick jobs like this.
