Cast iron

As I often do I defer to the experts here, previously I’ve used perfectly fine cast iron on my outdoor crawfish boiler. I know that’s not the correct term but a single burner with high output for corn, oil, turkey, etc. and when I did it seemed as if the seasoning on my pan melted off. I didn’t end up using it that day. Well today I am going to sous vide sone gold grade from SRF and I want to use cast iron in my ooni 16 for the finish. I’m concerned to screw up another pan and more importantly don’t Want to ruin the steaks on the sear. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

    I have burned the seasoning off pans using high output outdoor cooker as well.
    So far no issues using my Ooni Koda or 16” to cook/sear.
    Have also used products made by “The Oyster Bed”. These products are amazing in the 16”.

    Thank you,

    I’m going to reveal a secret - those old thin steel “cowboy skillets”? They are great in a wood oven - probably be great on a Roccbox or other...
    They are thin and still cheap at flea markets/antique stores. I use them far more often than my CI or good CS in my wood oven.

    you can burn the seasoning/reseason it in nothing flat.

    I appreciate the responses. More worried about ruining the beef than the skillet. Was afraid it could cause me an issue. As always this place is amazing. ThNk you.
