Yeah, I know, but I'd end up frying my stew... Mmmm... fried stew...
I have bought a 1/2 dozen new pieces and have about as many old
( ancient ) ones. It seems when I reach for one it's always the old ones. The years of wear only seems to serve to polish them smoother and smoother. They were made thicker and seem to heat much more evenly.
It may be all in my head ( other opinions welcome) but I would hunt antique stores , junk shops , flea markets and farm auctions for the GOOD ones. It's a great way to while away a weekend treasure hunting and you are sure to find other goodies you wern't even looking for.
just my 2 cents worth

I totally agree! There's nothin' like old stuff. (I think that's why my wife keeps me around
)
I've been to every nearby antique and thrift store and hit up the local sporting goods and kitchen stores and found a total of three DOs. All new Lodges and all bigger than I was looking for
The search will continue...
I did find these in the local thrift store
now all I need is some tiny groceries and a one ounce bag of charcoal!
