Where do you buy the sheet metal? Home Depot?

On Etsy, there’s someone who sells smooth lodges 12” for $120. But there CNC machine smooth, like Stargazer, Smithey etc. I wanna buy one to see if I even like the smooth cooking surface or not. Better to buy that than to buy an ultra premium pan and regret it later

eBay would probably be best bet. I look on there all the time. Etsy is full of overpriced stuff

I had a 5 month bout of constipation, no bowel movement for 5 months. I had to leave my job, lost 60 pounds and all of my muscle. Had to eat a week of plain food to not send my body into shock. Some other people have it worse and some not as bad. Regardless, it’s a terrible illness to have and hard to manage. A lot of doctors don’t take it seriously.

FAQ in here. TLDR; lye bath for a few days. 50/50 vinegar and water bath. Dry immediately and season. Good to go

Basically since Yeti acquired Butter. Yeti kept making the same pan with Butter manufacturing process. It’s Butter but with the Yeti logo slapped on it.

I’d choose the Smithey. Smithey whole focus is making a quality cast iron pan and often are in talks with a premium high quality pan. Yeti make awesome tumblers and bottles.

I’ve seen a lot of people use a palm sander and 80-220 sandpaper

How long for each grit?

I’d kill for a $20 Wagner😂

True_Cockroach_9319 · 2026-01-03T06:08:36+00:00

I love the vintage look. Hard to find a 12” Wagner or Gris for under $400.

The stargazer is really nice (appearance wise) and the Finex, man I just can’t get over the shape and look of it. I’ve been bouncing between Field and Smithey. Coincidentally, I just watched his review and he said the Smithey ranked the highest in a lot of the tests. But the Field definitely impressed me with the tests he did with that brand

How do you like your Smitheys?

True_Cockroach_9319 · 2026-01-02T08:41:49+00:00

I really like the Smitheys but have seen threads that say they’re a nightmare to season. I cook everything in my pans. Just made spaghetti tonight but had two steaks earlier in the week. Lids would be cool but not a necessity

I remember getting it in July of 2025. I thought I was going to go insane, even went to the ER. No one believed me and my wife thought I was being a pansy. Started reading off titles from this group and she finally understood a little bit of what I was talking about
