I've become a cast iron convert. I own a Lodge "combo" set that acts as a Dutch oven, pot, and skillet. Love it. I've been looking around for some vintage cast iron with limited success. It's either overpriced or rusty crap.

Any thoughts on finding vintage cast iron?

You can find Griswold stuff in most any antique mall for a decent price. Can also pull it off eBay or Etsy, but the shipping alone will cost you.

I'm staying away from Griswald because everyone knows what it is and think it's worth more than it is. I did just find an auction near me that sells tons of stuff. One of the photos showed some cast iron in a pile. It's hard to see but I think one is Wagner. Might be worth a look.

Refurbishing them is definitely doable. Right Angle Grinder and a flapper wheel will get to the bottom of the rust and then it is a matter of reseasoning several times and it is good to go.

Hit up estate auctions.

I like it, hopefully people know the difference between a flapper wheel and this. "Well, the rust it gone, but crap!!"

Just funnin' with ya. My cast iron is beautiful. The only time I need to hit it with hot water and scrub is if I do an oven roux. Otherwise it's a wipe out with a paper towel 9/10.

I have my grandma's cast iron that's been around since before I was alive. She's still kicking but doesn't cook anymore and knew I'd use it. I've got one 12" skillet I use all the time, two more smaller skillets and a cast iron dutch oven in the garage I've yet to put into service.

Most of mine came from small town garage sales and farm auctions. I've got some beauties that are pretty old. Got an old Wagner 8 cast iron griddle that's old enough that the Wagner logo is just the word 'Wagner' in single parentheses. Picked it up at a farm auction for $3.
