OK!!!! every camp/cabin needs a cast iron pot or skillet or 2.
who buys, collects or uses cast iron for cooking at their cabin???
they are also nice to use as decor for a cabin as well!!!!!
let see some pic's of your pots and pans/dutch ovens etc!!!!!
displays etc---thanks
BTW--i have been buying them at yard sales, junk stores, flea markets...for over 30 years....plus i inherited some of my Dad's cast iron pieces as well---food just tastes better in cast iron!!!!!

We actually have cast iron utensils. And really use them. We have several different size skillets and a flat top griddle/grill that works great on a stove top, BBQ pit, or even a campfire or fire pit. I still need to get another dutch oven.... nothin' better than making ham and beans or chili over an open fire! There is no better cookware than cast iron.

And it'll last for ever if taken care of.. I'm the family cook. I love my made in USA cast iron.. My favorite one is older than me, but looks like we just bought it. Fried taters just taste better, almost everything tastes better in them..

When my boys were in the scouts we did alot of dutch oven cooking -- I have a Lodge cast iron frying pan and small pot (for Beans) -- ok on the fire outside but got a little too hot on the cast iron stove top. Just bought a Lodge --meat rack to use as a trivet works great!

I have my grand mothers cast iron skillets, and frying skillets. I also have a wagner that belonged to her and also a griswold skillet that belonged to my other grandmother. I also have my great grandfathers massive (its gotta be at least 20" in diameter) chitlin frying skillet. It doesn't get much better than frying up some bacon then frying an egg in the grease!
Lodge is pretty good stuff. One of my closest friends grew up with a guy in the Lodge family. I have hung out with him several times here in nashville, nice guy. I think it was his great great grandfather that started the business.

it definitely does. I remember my grandmother using her skillets to bake her cakes every week. My grandfather bought and sold most all the hogs for Tennessee Pride Sausage Co here in nashville so sausage was a daily thing, every morning, with homemade biscuits, she cooked most exclusively in cast iron.

great history and fine thoughts of growing up eating TN Pride sausage as well . I have lots of my Dads cast iron he used at fishing and hunting camps, my Mother still has a few pieces at the homeplace---Dads been dead over 30 years ===and that old cast iron is still cooking---and i am sure my kids and grandkids will use it as well---I hope!!!! I remenber one time i stopped at a yard sale on the way to Billing MT airport, bought a small griswold skillet for a dollar, got to the airport and they looked at my luggage real funny when it went through the xray....:-)

AU2009,
Been up since 5 am, haven't had supper and the thought of some TN Pride, gravy and biscuits have this TN girl's mouth watering. I love breakfast for supper. Of course, soup beans and cornbread in my tiny skillet wouldn't be bad either.

i have a tip to share.i found that one dutch oven for like 25 cents at a yard sale.no lid.i thought this was ok cause i would search for a lost lid somewhere and get it for my lidless pot.well many years later-i have yet to come across a cast iron lid anywhere.heehee.sooo.thats my tip.dont buy a pot like i did thinking u will get lucky and find one.
i get lots of mine at yard sales...for two bucks.i love to look for them and find them.
i like them cause they provide iron to our diet.they are sturdy.they look cabiny.and old fashioned and they are.
