I found out that Amazon has a cast iron garlic roaster like the one in the video. Here is an affiliate link: amzn.to/3bLCLmu I also added the link to the video description.

Your channel is awesome and the Bible verse made the show! Thank you! And God bless

[@anndreastembridge367]

Blessings to you as well for that beautiful scripture. Thank you for the antique cast iron find, it’s the little things that feel so good these days. 😇🫶🏾🦋

[@KatyInNH]

I love the "ashtrays" for toasting nuts and spices

[@margiedenavarre7919]

Thank you for sharing God’s Word at the end of every video. In this way, you are fulfilling the “being a blessing” principle you talk about. God bless you, brother.

[@ljeangil]

Love cast iron.

[@stillwater62]

At 14:52 in the video you were asking what that was. It is a kerosene pot used for dashing kerosene on your firewood before starting the fire. You leave the dasher in the pot of kerosene, it soaks it up and will sprinkle a good amount onto the firewood making starting the fire easier. My grandfather had one that sat on the mantel, and he would swing the dasher a couple of times on the firewood before lighting. It has been over sixty years since I have seen another one, and that brought back a flood of memories. Really enjoy your videos. Thanks for making them.

[@castIroncookware]

Awesome! Thank you so much for watching.

[@truthofgod6213]

Ex-Plumber here, we had cast iron lead pots where we melted lead for pouring "lead&oakum" joints of cast iron Bell & spigot soil pipe. That rusted pot looks just like what we used.

[@timrose6152]

Please do more wild hunts, soon, like to see the prices, luv them. Great job keep it up, thank you

[@ljeangil]

I am learning so much from you . Thank you.

[@solobo5823]

Love your channel my brother! So interesting. I have 3 cast iron skillets from my grandma and one is a chicken fryer. So, because of you I’m gonna break them out and clean them up and start using them! Thanks so much and I love the sharing of the Word at the end of the videos! God Bless 🙏🏻

[@castIroncookware]

You will really be please when you start using them. Thank you so much for watching.

[@lwiezorek]

As a new cast iron guy, your video is very informative and helpful. I have about 25 pieces and I cook on most of them. I am the camp cook for a bunch of hungry scuba divers.

[@ljeangil]

I have learned so much from you. Thank you.

Found you recently and love your channel. I throughly enjoyed this video. I do not know anything about cast iron history. You are so full of knowledge. Thank you so much for sharing the pieces and prices. My Ezy Beezy stick arrived safe. You did a wondefful with the packaging. Have not used it yet but hope to soon.

[@castIroncookware]

My goal was to make a packaging that would look nice sitting on the counter. Let me know what kind of results you get.

[@lissaholder3650]

How do you order EZY Beezy? I am new here and so excited to find out that my grandmother’s irons mostly are Griswolds and a chicken fryer. I’ve always cooked and loved Cast Iron but not many people I know use them. But I always get excited using them! Anyway, Thank you for all the neat videos! I am trying to learn more! And thank you for the scripture in Psalms! Blessings, lissa

[@Mosparx78]

Thank you for another great and informative video, Stephen! It was refreshing to see down to earth prices on the cast irons for a change! I am looking forward to seeing your video with the garlic roaster, and have now added those to my list of oddities to look for.

[@larryreese6146]

I've seen that honeypot used. It belongs with the stove pipe vents. We kept kerosene in the pot. The little dipper end was placed under kindling and lit. Didnt work as well as newspaper usually but on damp days it was handy.

[@joshgreen9708]

Here in Southeast Kansas there is some in our area but it's a ton higher here. One of my favorite scriptures thank you sir

Yet another great video. Thanks for the good teaching and not just about the cast iron.

[@castIroncookware]

Thank you so much. I really am leaning and believing on the promise of that scripture for all of us.

[@tbaugh7]

The piece that you said looked like a honey pot is a wood stove fire starter , you fill the pot with kerosene and put the dipper in the stove/ fire place and light it until the wood starts to burn.

[@castIroncookware]

Thank you. That is good to know.

[@boilerhonkiedude9163]

Thank you SO much for this new "wild" video Stephen! Much blessings on you sir!

Hi Steven, Always enjoy and learn from your videos, on the oval griddle or round griddled in Spanish is COMAL not camel like the animal something like co-mal. Thanks again !!!

I would have had no choice but to buy several of those pieces of cheap iron!

Me too. Would have been so much fun.

[@castironkev]

Yea. Really good prices especially in a retail setting 🍳🍳

[@castIroncookware]

They're all really great people too.

[@JoelFriedlander]

Another great video, and those prices can’t be beat. I love those Griswold dampers and have 2 I restored hanging in the kitchen, a 6” and a 3”. Great piece of Americana, and they are usually less than $10.

[@williamlee1429]

I believe you are correct about the shift designation. I worked for a large steel foundry in the Pacific Northwest and it was not uncommon for us to put twoslashes or two large holes underneath the pattern number for second shift. We weren’t required to do it we just did it on our own.

[@castIroncookware]

Great info. Thanks

Hi, have you ever seen cast iron cookware, butter/milk containers, decorations ect.. handmade buy Pennsylvania Amish people from long time ago? Even PA dutch products? Uncle's and some cousins have them from grandfather and great grandfather, going back to late 1800's.

[@duanerichardson5405]

As always Steven enjoyed you video and yes those are very fair prices .thnx for sharing

[@missionpreparedness1533]

Beautiful job! ...and well explained. I just purchased the U.S.-made GreaterGoods 10-inch cast iron skillet ($39.95) on Amazon. It has a milled cooking surface and is outstanding. It passed the egg test on the first try. It might be worth a try for you.

[@castIroncookware]

I will have to check those out.

[@stevestambaugh6501]

I have a dutch oven that looks just like the Chicago Hardware one in this video and has the trivet inside that looks like the one in the Lodge. I got it for my late uncle that lived in San Diego but was from Illinois. I got to put it in vinegar bath to find out if there any maker marks yet.

When seasoning, I usually keep them separate.

[@cheshkat6321]

I'm hungry. Hope you are doing a cast iron cooking video soon. Would like seeing that garlic roaster in action. I bet it would roast a small onion as well.

The lead pot that you showed my daddy was a plumber and he had a big propane tank he had a piece of iron that set on top of the tank then he put the pot on top and put these large round pieces of lead in the pot to melt he would take what it’s called Oakham and put around cast-iron pipe were at joined and then take a chisel and hammer and put Oakham down in there Tite Then pour the lead over the Oakham to seal the pipe

Are there any books that give you info on the cast iron and prices? WOuld love to have it in my price guide collection as I am a reseller and am always on the hunt for items to flip.

Steven, recently bought a cast iron cauldron and was wondering how I could find out a little more about it. Only markings on it are 15 1

[@castIroncookware]

My knowledge of cauldrons is very limited. I do think their condition plays a major part in the value of them though.

[@mechellecrosby2621]

I have a question. I have my great-grandmother's/grandmother's/mother's skillets. One smallish and one largish. Both are beautiful on the inside, and have been well cared for. But both have this crust all over the sides on the outside. I'm thinking it may be from fruit cobbler boiling over and then becoming so solid on the sides in the oven that no one had time to remove it. It's about an eighth of an inch thick in some places. It's not rust. How can I safely remove it? Someone a long time ago suggested sand blasting, but that just sounded like it would hurt the pan so I've never been willing to hand it over to someone else to do that to it.

[@castIroncookware]

The most simple and safest way to strip a cast iron pan is with lye. You can do that either by using a lye tank or the oven spray cleaner in a bag method. I have a couple of videos on that subject if you are interested in checking them out.

[@mechellecrosby2621]

@@castIroncookware, thank you! I'll go watch them now.

Can you season cast iron with Olive oil?

[@castIroncookware]

Olive oil will work but grapeseed oil works better. The blends work even better. The base oil for the product that I make "Easy Beezy" cast iron seasoning is is grapeseed oil and it works great.
