When I moved to a farm, an old farmer took me under his wing, and taught me 100 years of culture in just a few years. I remember well when I'd ask him ... "Mr. Remmert, when will the potatoes be ready ?" His answer was always "When they're ready".After awhile, I figured it out. You don't question "when" something will be ready or "how long" something will take. It's ready when it's ready. To some, that philosophy may sound flippant, but to me, I've learned that it is very intrinsic and self evident. It has helped me in many other aspects of life.__________________________________________Dripping Springs, Texas.Just west of Austintatious

Very good advice.After awhile, I figured it out. You don't question "when" something will be ready or "how long" something will take. It's ready when it's ready.

You could do what Mrs. Tane Chan at the Wok Shop does, and blacken some chives in a tablespoon of oil in your hot skillet.BJ (Powhatan, VA)

i remember reading in the breath of a wok book that some wok chef had her wok a light honey brown at home, no real need to get it black other than a desire or false belief it should be black. it'll get there some day, especially if it goes in the egg

For the old stuff, each piece seasons differently. Even when two pieces are identical. Some pieces will turn jet black. Others a really dark brown. Some will be charcoal gray. That's using the same oil, same oven, same temp, etc.
At 3 o'clock fishless, looks like you may have overseasoned? The oil leaked from the pores and hardened. May want to start over. If so, just spray some oven cleaner on it, let sit, and wash.
Increase your oven temp to at least 450, better yet 500. Ditch the lard and use grapeseed oil. Flaxseed oil would work too. Season for one hr, shut down, cool for two hours, repeat.
Some recommend seasoning once and using. You can do that with Lodge-like CI. One or two seasonings and it's good to go. Not with the vintage CI.
It's critical to build a solid, even, foundation. At a minimum, I would not use until at least a half dozen seasonings.
Once seasoned properly, all I do is spray with Pam and wipe with a paper towel inbetween cooks.

Looks great. Fry some cheap onion greens in there and get cooking!For fun, you could take it to your favorite restaurant and pay them $5 to soak it in the deep fryer for an hour...Large BGE and Medium BGE
