I'm not thermodynamicist, but I saw somewhere that adding thermally conductive material can only slow down the heat transfer speeds (unless youre replacing another insulating material).

Cause convection does such a better job at moving heat, youre better off just leaving open air to transfer it.

    that doesn't make sense in my head, I would have thought the only benefit air has over any other heat transfer medium is that is is everywhere, doesn't make a mess and we can breath it, but I also dropped out of thermodynamics school so who knows.

    I'm imagining some metallic sack full of...magic heat transfer beans that sits on top of the cook top and then you sit your wok in
