The lid is a lodge, you can always tell the lodge they have those dimples for braising

The skillet you had before the lid may be a WAPAK but it may not be a gate mark but sand shift which was very prevalent in certain companies molds

I have my grandmother's wagner cast iron skillets, and they are from the late 1800 To the early 1900s and I can cook in them and nothing sticks in them. They are very well seasoned. My grandfather would put them in the burn pile to clean them. And then grandma would wait two or three days, pull them out of the burn pile, and then wipe them out with a paper towel and they were good to go.

Yes my grandparents did that as well, used the bonfire to clean the year of use off them. My only thought today with the burn pile is getting the temperature too hot. Anyone have any input on temperature? I find self clean is quick and easy but at a cost of electricity, the highest temp the items see are around 550°f, when reseasoning i usually start at 350°f and go up to 450 then 550 for the final coating. We use leaf lard from one of our pigs. Any thoughts info or ideas post below. ✌🏻💚🙏🏻

Don't put them in the oven on self clean. If you have a burn pile or make a burn pile, throw them in the burn pile as you're burning your rubbish and wait about three or four days until they cool down and then clean them with a a soft rag
