i can remember even as a child liking the way cast iron looked! i can think back 15 plus years ago and picture mom pulling her skillet out of the oven full of wonderful cornbread!!!! Its been about a year and a half since i got my first skillet, now cast iron's just about the only thing i cook with. It was a rocky start to say the least!!!!(i didn't want to give up the soap!lol) After a little research it did'nt take long to catch on! Research lead me to want a smother skillet, that's went i remembered an old crusty skillet my dad had. I think he got it at a yard sale years ago for camping but never cleaned or used it.... so i did!:)Turned out to be a number 7 three notch lodge. i just could'nt believe how nice that old skillet cleaned up! After that i was addicted. I set out in search of more finds!!! its become an obsession/addiction! I owe a lot to this site!!! i've learn so much here. Its very well put together and full of info!!! Doug D. did you put the site together or are you just the admin for the forums?
 
The site is my ongoing project, bringing together a few of my interests under one umbrella. I collect vintage cast iron and aluminum, have quite a bit of experience in establishment, maintenance, and administration of online discussion forums small and large, and dabble in HTML, PHP and MySQL coding. I'm glad you are finding it all useful.
 
you've done/are doing an amazing job! With all the miss information that is on the internet its great to have a site that's full of correct info!!!! I just hope more people will fine it, i've seen a lot of ruined iron from fire, grinders ext. some people have no idea what they are do and are quick to give advice! "just throw it in a fire" so tired of hearing that :/ thanks for all the hours you have spend on this site, it really good the hobby of iron collecting!
 
Welcome to the site John Lee, Though I have not been here that long, I do agree with all that you said. So I want to second that. There is a lot of information at your finger tips, some of it not so good. But you can rest knowing that what you take from this site is all good. So Thank you D.D. & S.S. :icon_thumbsup:
