Speaking of cast iron
Speaking of cast iron
I have two old cast-iron griddles, long enough to fit over two burners, that
are terrific for pancakes. However, I haven't tried to use them on my
smooth-top (glass) range since I didn't know what would happen if I put them
across two burners (i.e., would the combined heat be too much for the
unheated space between the two burners?).
I'd appreciate any comments, before I screw up.

When I had a glass top...I used mine all the time. Now I really
enjoy them with the gas rangetop.

Shouldn't be any problem as long as they have a smooth bottom which will contact
the cooktop over both burners. If they have a ridge around the edge, so that
most of the bottom surface is raised from the cooktop, you shouldn't use them.
