Re: Lodge Blacklock Warp
I gave a couple of family members each a skillet that I had restored. I asked them both what kind of stove they had and both replied glass top. So I didn’t know much about them and thought that a pan...

Re: Can Rust Form Under the Seasoning?
After viewing YouTube, and Facebook Groups on Cast Iron, nothing surprises me anymore. Some folks just remove loose surface rust and season over the rest. I just pulled a #14 unmarked skillet (I’m...

Re: What is This Gigantic Thing?
I have one of the ham boilers that I haven’t cleaned yet. But they were designed for a wood stove and may have been an option at the time of sale. The lids that I’ve seen were tin coated steel and...

Re: Martin Stove #10 Skillet
I wonder if it is an actual short steel screw that found it’s way into the sand mold sand or the mold itself just prior to pouring!

Re: Help Identify
I agree that it’s a great find! The red mountain pans with the large pour spouts are definitely harder to find. I have found only 1 #8. I have found about 10 #8’s with the small pour spouts.

Re: 2 Gallon Pot Tilt Ring Size?
I have one that did the same thing. The whole area is too thin and fragile to weld. I tried drilling and tapping it but the hole just kept growing. I started with 8/32”and gave up after 3/8” so thin...

Re: Seasoning Intricate Designs
I restored a couple of Cracker Barrel logo skillets and they weren’t hard at all. But since I have other users, I’m not sure how much of a pain they are to maintain the nice looking bottom with use.

Re: ID Pot Please
It’s a ham boiler. Typically with duel gatemarks. I have seen a couple with a tin lid but most without a lid. The lid was probably optional and being made of tin most haven’t survived. You would...

Re: Griswold #6 Rust?
Hard to tell for sure but I don’t see rust. It just looks like uneven seasoning. It sort of looks like acidic foods such as tomato sauce may have taken some of the seasoning off. I personally...
