Hello. I'm a 50yr old divorced father of 3 living in suburban Detroit (Brighton/Howell/Pinckney). My only daughter heads off to college this fall, but she camped with me (In a tent) beginning at age 2. I also have 2 boys, 14 & 16, who still do enjoy camping with me (in a tent). We have a small collection of GPA stoves & lanterns, and our meager stockpile of cast iron is growing. I am also a bit of a motorcyclist, an experienced carpenter, respectable cook & baker, and I can make a killer pie.
A few weeks ago, my boys & I bought a milk crate full of cast iron at a flea market for $25, and are currently cleaning (electrolysis), and seasoning them:
Skillets are all marked "Made in USA"; the two medium ones I believe to be post 1960, unmarked Wagner. The largest skillet interests me the most:
The saucepans (sadly, no lids included) are all marked "Made in Taiwan", but should do just fine cooking over a campfire... if I can ever get them to season properly.
Thanks for your patience during my very long introduction.
