This subject has come up before, so I am hoping people have had some 
experience trying this out - using a hot-plate to handle the reflow 
soldering on a pcb.

Has anyone ever considered trying it out on a cast-iron skillet? Seems 
to me that the large thermal mass would avoid hot spots, and after 
removing the heat, it would keep its temperature steady for a while.

Dumb idea?
