Those are my small ones. One is a nice 6.5" new lodge. Love their history...been around over 100 years. The other is a 6" vintage I got from my dad. These are beautiful. I apsolutly feel in love with the black iron after our last camp trip. The little irons are fantastic on a jetboil. In fact we ate so good in the wild maybe better than at home.







Just picked up a nice standard size Lodge to break in with my deer meat.



Any other black iron fans? I wouldn't mind seeing some iron collections old and new.

Also wouldn't mind knowing a few good knock out must try iron skillet backstrap recipes. I've never cooked them before but my first time will be in black iron and I'd love to know a good few recipes worth trying out?

The wife caught me using one of her decorative dish towels on a hot skillet so she bought a pair of these lodge silicon handle covers.(not sure what the cost was)
They work okay but I wouldn't recommend them, they don't slid on the larger skillet easily and aren't reccomend for oven use.
I'll be forced to use them for a short time, at least when the wife is around. They'll probably find the back of the junk drawer pretty quick and I'll go back to oven-mitts, dish towels or whatevers handy.

Since this thread and buying a Weber kettle I use it more and more. I love cooking outside over my grill rather then inside over my stove. No stovetop to wipe down,no greasy smell in the house,plus the cast iron burns more even over a coal or wood fire then it does on my glass top electric range... I'm going to search the house,somewhere I have a big lodge dutch oven as well,and another large frying pan. Need to get some smaller pans and a griddle.



I was given 8-10 cast iron pots & pans with wooden handles & lids,,,, was told to use 'em or SCRAP 'EM.
I THINK that they are still out there somewhere,,,, I was thinking of using the smaller soup pots for melting lead outside over a fire,,,,,,,, & or take the handles off & scrap the rest.
IF I can find them, I'll take a picture & send it to you,,,,, maybe complete your collection, if you like.?
