My cast iron collection

[Mudkat]

Ditto what everyone here says! Nice collection! Cooking with cast iron is one half the reason I go camping. BIFL

[EdF]

Hopefully not of the backpacking the mountains variety!

[GregS]

That would be quite the workout. Hiking up a mountain carrying a 20 pound Dutch oven.

[Mudkat]

Heh, heh, my dutch oven camping stays at the bottom of the mountain, by a river. Freeze dried stuff for top of mountain camping.

[Mudkat]

EdF Here's the food for mountain camping. Sometimes it's about the ambiance, not the food.

[Mr. Bones]

Great shot, got one without th' granola bar???
It'd make a sweet desktop...

[Mudkat]

Hahahaha! lonnie mac It does look like a cat!

[lonnie mac]

Sorry bout my old eyes brotha!! LOL

[Mudkat]

Mr. Bones Here's one

[Mr. Bones]

Many thanks fer that, Amigo!
Much appreciated!

[FireMan]

Don't worry, the iron whisperer is out there in the bushes just waitin! Pounce when ready Spinaker.

[Mudkat]

Yeah, he's coming... I can feel his spirit.

[Mr. Bones]

Y'all jus' set a compass upside yer' 'puter area...
When anything/anybody with a load of iron comes near ya', like, it will cause th' needle to deviate...
Watchin' that will tell ya' of th' proximity...
Takes a lil' practice, but th' science/math is sound, an' proven...

Anytime I come across an old piece of black iron at an antique store, I always "ring" check it, and if it is solid, it is usually sold, especially the old griswalds

[(Lo-N-Slo)]

I have about 15 pieces, including a Griswold 10" skillet cover which my father had since 1934. The square fry pan is my favorite, I only use it for cornbread. My dutch ovens are small by comparison.

[lonnie mac]

I am like you brother. I have very few pieces, but what I do have was handed down by the ole Grandma, from her mama. I have about 4 pans of various sizes of Wagner pans. They are my heart and soul with cooking.

[texastweeter]

and you cant beat how smooth the finish is on the older irons. lots of soul in there I bet. think of the meals that have been cooked with love in those skillets (and how many time she threatened your grandpa wit it too!)

[lonnie mac]

Ha brother! I think about that every single time I cook. I have one very old worn Wagner that I bought off of eBay years ago. I wish it could speak!

Here's Daisy and some Jalapeno Cornbread that #1 made. Daisy's a BSR from the late 60's

[Mr. Bones]

Mmmm!!!
Beautimous!!!

[gcdmd]

Makes ya wanna take a bite outta yo' monitor screen.

[Mudkat]

Looks Awesome! I'm guessing you don't need to cover it when doing it in the oven?

[Baltassar]

This is killing' me. My wife won't have cast iron because it's too heavy for her to lift, and I've never wanted to have stuff in the kitchen that only I used. But now I'm reconsidering. Maybe I could keep in the garage!

[Skip]

The basement works well and it's closer than the garage!! LOL.

[EdF]

Guess you'll have to do the heavy lifting, eh? ;-)

[GregS]

Maybe you can trade her in for a newer model and some cast iron. hehe
