Cast Iron Help

I don't think Rocky had any CI when he went to the IRG. Now look at him.

Yup, I've got all the available sizes now. I've used them all except for the 16in. The only reason I got it was to round out the collection.

My 23-year-old's divided pan, similar to that one, is a "Griswold Colonial Breakfast Skillet". He came home from a lengthy camping trip that involved attending Ren Faire two years ago with it, and regularly fixes himself meals with it. It's good over charcoal or on our (gas) kitchen stove or over a (Coleman dual fuel) camp stove.

Earl,
The elctrolisis is easy, but it takes time and you do need a battery charger.
I've grown to like having my buddy Kevin bead balst the stuff with his glass beader booth. I keep Kevin supplied with viewing window glass for the bead booth and season his cast iron for him.
I'm sure there are some engine shops around your area that have one of those...
I'm sure the Hob-Knobs of cast iron might scoff at using this technique, but I defy them to be able to tell that it's been done, once the iron is seasoned...
Please don't ask Kevin to do it for you, he's kinda back logged.
He hasn't even stopped by to pick up his skillet that I seasoned for him a couple of months back...

I visited the Lodge factory in South Pittsburg, TN a couple of years ago. The last step in manufacturing is glass-beading the surface - so how can anyone scoff at using that technique?

When you season a CI pan, put on a light coat of shorting inside and out and put in oven upsidedown with foil under to catch drippings. That way the oils will not puddle in the pan. Do it a few times, then never use soap on it again.
