Scrounging Firewood (and other stuff)

[Sawyer Rob]

Also if you guys have those Dutch ovens with feet and want to use them in your oven or stovetop, you can "de-feet" them. I have cut the feet off with a cut off wheel then smoothed with a grinding wheel followed but reseasoning the piece so it does not rust.

I'll look and see if I have any pics to share.

Be sure to not do this to old/collectible ovens that may have collector value.

I have LOT'S of cast iron including DO's, and I've cut the feet off a couple DO's in just that way.

You can still use them outdoors with a trivet, so it works out just fine.

Here’s a pic from one that I did. After this, I stripped the Dutch oven and reseasoned the whole thing.

Flat bottomed girls you make the cooking world go round.

Hey Backyard: How about them Packers?

Those guys are no joke. Da' Bears are going to be a tough out next year also IF they keep Fields and let him develop. NFC North could very well be the toughest division in football next season.

I'm envious of everyone that gets to use cast iron. My wife's culinary skills are far, far superior to mine, she runs the show around here and absolutely hates cast iron.

Yes I need to go through it all again. I have several pieces that haven't been used in years. Since I did the wall display, those ones are used for the lions share of cooking duties.

In case somebody didn't get the reference here is a version I like.

Isn't that like sacrilegious? Defacing a perfectly good Dutch oven. I have two 'spiders', a 4 Qt and a 6 Qt. I'd like to find a 2 Qt but I don't know if they ever made them that small.

P.S. I just saw your disclaimer about collectibles.

Yeah I will never touch a vintage piece with any sort of tool beyond a wire brush. They are stripped with the proper chemicals and elbow grease only.

There are no rules for modifying modern and/or Asian pieces. I have cut the handles off many newer pieces for use in air fryers, smokers, and BBQs.

The only cast iron piece I currently own is a small Wal-Mart special frying pan. It worked excellent for a lead smelting pot for pouring jig heads and split shot.
