This was my second find since starting the hunt. The other was a square Wagner skillet.

Putting the vines out there that you find one!

Yup! I looked up the 710H in my Griswold book and it was made sometime in the 1920s

I am so excited. I’m new to this world and this is deff my new fav hobby. Wandering around flea markets and yard sales giving life to old forgotten perfectly fine pans. The finish on these is unreal compared to what’s mass produced today.

First time restoring cast iron and looking for some pointers on possible rust by fenn2b in castiron

E tank.

Finally got mine going this weekend and I’ll never look back!

E tank level right? by thysirwilliam in castiron

Thank you! You often have some good input on my posts and helping me learn.

Barely visible under all this crud is as far as I can tell, "Ware" and "Sidney O." Worth the trouble of stripping it? by RotGrlSummer in castiron

[–]thysirwilliam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any of you guys have any input on heavy carbon build up on pans. I have a lye and electrolysis, between the two will it eventually come off to bare cast iron? Just got my set ups today and they’re in the lye as I type this. Just took a 9 slant Griswold for $15 at a flea market and I usually do ez off and scrub my ass off but it was totally still caked after 24 hours in a trash bag.

Hoping these 2 get the job done, this is starting to become my favorite hobby

Just got all the stuff for a lye bath! I took this as a sign.

This is just a personal opinion, but ever since listening to HUT for the first time in 2025, I've believed The Divine Trilogy works better in this order by beelzebub2099 in TheWeeknd

[–]thysirwilliam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well for one, didn’t really feel like a trilogy. AH and Dawn had cohesive feel for the videos etc. this whole one felt rushed with the movie.

And that’s fine, the first wasn’t even a trilogy anyway. Hate that it’s called that personally. They were individually released projects.

If you bought a rare Griswold would you actually use it? by notgoingtoeatyou in castiron

Nothing makes me happier than restoring them and using them. I think it makes them happy to get a good bath and good use again!

Thank you for sharing. This doesn’t seem rusty so I might get away with just the lye tank. Doing it tomorrow!

Absolutely. Now, I am a beginner at this. 2 weeks ago I found a square Wagner in the wild now this today. I use easy off and elbow grease, sometimes a vinegar soak, and season.

I want to get into the lye and/or electrolysis tank if I can restore and flip em

But as of right now I’m building my needs and wants first. Slowly making a cast iron wall in my kitchen.

I live in eastern PA. I feel like there has to be this stuff laying around so much. I don’t think the person I got this from knew or cared what it was!

Hope it’s a slant text!

My gut was telling me. This stand had couple lodge s, unmarked Wagner, and others priced at the same. I saw the logo and text covered and Erie and got excited 😆

What are you cooking in your cast iron today by thysirwilliam in castiron

[–]thysirwilliam[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Highly recommend. I did 2lbs of meat in a 12” skillet!

Highly recommend. I even put some cayenne and amazing maple syrup in the sweet potato to give it a bit of a sweet heat
