I recently became aware of the old Griswold cast iron pieces and bought a #5 and #10 skillet on eBay for use in the kitchen. Next up will be a smaller dutch oven to go along with my newer Lodge unit. The smoothness and quality on a skillet that is 70-80 years old just amazes me.

The rough surface of the "pre-seasoned" Lodge really annoys me. I recently broke down and bought a large griddle, and every time I use it I cringe a bit.*******Owner of a large and a beloved mini in Philadelphia

Dont know why all are going ape sh*t on Gris blah blah.
Have always had Lodge and they are great. Cast Iron is cast iron. Not a whole lot of rocket science to it. Heat rings and all.
I am from Tennessee and that's where Lodge is made. Not Mexico, Not China, nowhere but good 'ole USA. Even today.

Way to rain on my parade... ;-) the big thing is the smooth surface that you can't find in cast iron today. Iron quality is also not as great as it was prior to World War II. I do have in Emerald cast iron skillet that was my first one and it has actually been really good. It's one of my favorites and it's actually made in China. Hopefully I cooked the lead out of it already. I also really enjoy finding something old and crusty, restoring it, using it, knowing I could pass it on to my kids if they wanted it.Aviator said:Dont know why all are going ape sh*t on Gris blah blah.

@aviator Griswold and Wagner Ware was both made here in the good 'ole USA and beat Lodge hands down. I have all three and the Wagners and Griswolds are much older and better. Don't mean to piss anyone off. These are just my opinions.

But they are dead. Gone.
We have a vibrant company in the USA who makes it in the USA and yu guys talk about haloween stuff.
Support here or you will loose it also to China.
@shtgunal they "were" made here and "are" gone!
Yzzi, sorry man, did not realize it, but I guess I did. That was not the intention though.

I was just kidding aviator. The only thing that could rain on my parade would be a big crack down the side of it the first time I used it.Dunedin, FL

Sounds like someone works for Lodge! Geez!Lodge openly admits that they used to polish their cast iron pieces but they no longer do. Thats why they feel so rough. I've been on eBay the last 2 days looking for a griddle from Griswold and came up short on a few. I am contemplating buying the Lodge pizza pan/griddle and sanding it down to a smoother finish. Its $35 on Amazon...so it might be worth giving a shot

I have about seven different cast iron pots and pans. Some had smoother finishes than others, but after i seasoned them they all have a smooth glossy finish??

I typically use Auction Sniper to place my bid for me with 3 seconds left...PM me if you want a referral link and we both get some free 'snipes' from them.

I use the Myibidder one. I didn't want to give away my secret....
What do you mean by free snipes? All mine are. It pulls my "watch list" and lets me bid right from the app. I'm on Droid, BTW. -

I think it originally was green. Haven't used it much since i set up a G3 skiff for skinny water..

Here she is after initial seasoning. I'm not allowed to season cast iron in the oven anymore cause of the smell so on the egg it goes... Probably do 3 more seasonings before the chili.Dunedin, FL
