I have to say that cast iron makes a great emergency diffuser. Those of you who were at the Potluck two Pennsics ago may remember that I brought "ginestada" -- a pudding made with milk and rice flour. I had previously only cooked it on my electric stove at home. It would have scorched for sure on my propane Coleman stove, had I not stuck my 16" cast iron pan underneath the pot of pudding.
As someone once said, "If necessity is the mother of invention, then desperation is the father."
