    I've always 'Warmed' my cast before starting to oil. Since I haven't received my pucks which I would presume to include instructions I was wondering if you could expand a bit.

    Yes I warm the iron as well just to melt the puck. I give it a quick swirl. the pic below, that swirl will do the entire skillet inside and out. Im not sure if it comes with instructions I believe you go to their site for instructions. They may have changed that as they are a very new company and are constantly making new upgrades. But I put the method that I do below the pic and that works great for me. if it starts to smoke up the house, you have too much on the iron or your oven is dirty!

    Method
    Step 1 - Soak in lye tank for a week (ratio: 1lbs lye (100%lye) to 5 gallons water)
    Step 2 - Give a good scrub'in and rinse - steal wool, soap, hot water, etc...
    Step 3 - Towel dry
    Step 4 - Place on stove top to dry some more (med low heat)
    Step 5 - apply a very light streak of Buzzy Waxx and rub into cast iron. (rub it as tho you dont want it on there)
    Step 6 - place in oven at 300 degrees for 15 mins - remove and wipe down iron again to remove more seasoning
    then place in oven at 480-500 degrees for 1 hour.
    Step 7 - let cool completely
    repeat Steps 5 thru 7 for a total of 3 rounds of seasoning.

    Default What makes Griswold more collectible than Lodge?

    I've seen a lot of cast iron at various market venues. Griswold is always priced higher than Lodge; any reasons for this that are more or less reasonable?

    My good friend Joel (Benz here at SRP) has used cast iron all of his life and has some really nice vintage pieces. When he either finds one that needs work or one of his has the excessive build up that happens after decades of use he sends them to a guy who Soda Blasts them. He tell me that they look like they just left the forge.

    Then he starts re-seasoning the piece and he swears by bacon grease and frying potatoes--

    Just another option---

    From my experience the older the pan the higher quality that they were held to.

    My best pan is an Erie from the late 1800's that as far as a collectible piece is not a good candidate but if you use it you would see the difference.

    Before/During and After Soda Blasting and then Before, During and After Seasoning PICTURES would be in order

    I would be sure to thoroughly wash, rinse and dry whatever cast iron you work on before seasoning.
