Thank you so much for accepting me into this great community! I have several piece of cast iron, but my main reason for asking to be accepted is I have run across several NEW cast iron makers. Boroughs Furnace in Syracuse, New York, Smithey Ironworks in South Carolina, and Stargazer in New Jersey. They are all new to the scene; within the last two years. How wonderful that someone new has taken the reins. I ordered a 10.5 inch from Stargazer last week and they stated that shipment would happen in November! I'm so excited! I ordered it unseasoned so I can pick the kind of season I want. Ok, now the question, has anyone ordered from any of these places and what kind of seasoning did you use and why. Thank you so much!
