Before and after clean up, bought from a younger guy who washed did not season and kept using. He thought they were junk.
I found on facebook marketplace both for 200.00. I drove 65 miles to pickup.

Lodge now makes a cheaper version but is non milled, Lodge bought Finex in 2016 because of all the other foundries popping up, like Stargazer, smithy and so on.

I really want a Lancaster but since I only use to cook outside I can’t justify spending that much to put on open fire.

I grill out daily and cook with nothing but cast iron. I use beef tallow to cook with

I use on a regular basis

Came out pretty nice

Get your skillet HOT and lay down your fresh, cleaned shrimp. Layer on chopped garlic, parsley, chili powder and a bit of cayenne pepper. Add a few cubes of butter. Salt. Flip them over quickly and squeeze on one fresh lemon. It doesn’t take but 4 minutes to cook the shrimp. When all cooked up, throw in fresh crumbled feta cheese and serve over buttered noodles. All good.

21 day dry aged ribeye topped with caramelized onions and herb lemon butter. Along with a side of spicy garlic green beans topped with roasted pine nuts and parmesan. 10/10.
