[QUOTE="kytrapper, post: 738802, member: 29935"] New cast seems to have coarser grain than ...old.....i do have a Griswold but I dont see packing a Do worth several hundred dollars to the woods. I have some cheap that has worked but most of my kit is LODGE. LODGE IS GOOD STUFF. For my friend with the Teflon prefference.......teflon man made coating long lasting effects of exposure are yet unknown ( lil paranoid?? asaphene, asbestos, phenenol, and for those old enough Ford Pinto's) Cast is non stick by virtue of seasoning which is a creative way of saying the pores are so filled with carbon that it has a slick finish. If you look at seasoning like finishing a piece of furniture....Start with clean open pores in the surface apply the finish in layers. The carbon finish is achieved but by coating it with oil getting hot letting it cool and repeat. Repeat until you are too old to use it. a good fire on a summer night and a can of veg shortening is a good way to get a new pan seasoned. Coat inside and out use your welding gloves .....set her in get her smoking set aside let cool....Next morning wipe all the smoke off wipe down with oil and put away till time to cook. Enjoy.
