seasoned my cast iron pot today,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[olskool]

She is a # 12 wash pot. i just picked this up from a fellow flintlock shooter and SC man known on here as "mulebrain" . the pot came from our state, the 2 gate marks indicate it was made before 1899, and i really don't think it was ever used, oh but it will be! i can see a pot of new years day chicken and rice and smoked sausage in it's future,,,,,,,,,,,

That is a good 'un! Cast iron the vintage stuff is getting spendy. I mean, moreso than it already was. Maybe have to keep it chained down in camp to keep it from getting legs. I'm not kidding, some of that stuff costs as much as a good used car now.

I sure hate to be "that guy", but the seasoning temps don't look they are getting hot enough. The reason I say that is because from the pics it appears some areas have visible areas of underlying iron & hints of reddish (rust). Cast iron will be absolutely coal black when seasoned, a carbonized layer of fats built up over several coats.
