Perhaps the ones I'm thinking of are the latter. I gave one to Phlip at
Pennsic. I think it is cast alluminum with very polished, almost mirror
smooth mating surfaces. I think the two sides were about 1/8 to 3/16 of an 
inch thick. I did see one electric one at a second-hand store, but there
didn't 
seem to be any way to remove the grill surfaces. Otherwise I would have bought
that and replaced them with a set of etched copper plates. Interchangeable plates
for different occasions would have been nice.
