Restoring Lodge 12" Camp Dutch Oven

I found this Lodge 12" camp oven at an antique store and scored a great deal on it since it was rusty and the lid was stuck on. I'll show you the process I used to bring life back into this great cooking tool!
I used the Crisbee brand of cast iron seasoning for the first time with good results, but will definitely need to keep trying it to see how I like it. amzn.to/3jHSE2L

Seems as though there is still quite a bit of debate on oils or grease these days. But bees wax sure shows up in a lot of formulas. I think oils with the highest smoke points would be best. However that may or may not be indicative of how well they harden and seal the surface. I've got a bunch of cast to strip and season again.

Vegetable oil is poison

[@leedoss6905]

Use citric acid or bar keepers friend to get the rust out.

Fantastic Adam. 🙏🏻🙏🏻👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👋👋

I currently doing a late 1940's lodge 12 looked to be in the same condition, but used my 1977 Lincoln versailles battery to clean it up, took about a day to get everything off.

Good vid. Not many folks understand cast iron care. Cast iron became second nature to me when i was cooking alot. Ive been getting wife on board with it as well.

I haven't seen that product here but have had good luck with pure flax seed oil applied on cast iron and carbon steel fresh from a 200F oven, wiped off, returned to oven inverted and then heat raised to 475F for an hour, two or three times. Nothing lasts forever, but this lasts a lot better than veg oil.

I'm looking forward to seeing the first cook on it

How about milling and polishing the bottom of that dutch oven ala the old Wagner ware?

[@bobsofia68]

Recently rescued a rusty Wagner square skillet. Reconditioning came out well enough but I wish I'd seen this video first, would've gone about it a bit differently. Good stuff !!

Darn. Should have gotten the Extra Large size HotShot oven from Stan. ;)

Adam, this channel is absolutely the best! You never cease to amaze me. I love iron cookware and tips like this are so helpful. Having a mish mash of content is what I love about Abom adventures.

[@infoanorexic]

As mentioned elsewhere, Kent Rollins is someone to check out on how to use those Dutch Ovens. Also for cooking large in remote areas.

Geez, when I first saw it I thought it was new. I take care of my cast iron the same way. Gonna try that Crisbee.

[@siedpe13]

I heard you want the thinnest film of oil possible for seasoning, any excess oil only inhibits the seasoning quality. And for a thicker layer, do multiple seasonings

[@jorafter]

That pot came out really nice. I just ordered some Crisbee to try. Always enjoy experimenting with new things.

[@johnknapp6328]

I'm curious can you use the camp oven on Weber grates in kettle with the feet on bottom. Nice seasoning video.

Shame on Crisby for using scare tactic advertising, there are no GMO Sunflowers

[@macass6077]

“Nice cider”??? Auto-correct Hell!

[@macass6077]

Adam; Nice cider, buddy. Just watched Steam trains Galore 8 by CoasterFan2105. Given Abby & your own love of steam trains, I give it my own recommendation.
