      Any time–if I could get my massive archive organized I'd trade away 🙂

      So regarding the griddle / baking steel, my buddy is negotiating with a shop in Minneapolis, they're under $700 for 20 and he thinks he can work it down further. If we wanted them plasma cut it adds a couple hundred, but that seems wholly unnecessary to me. @jdl1279 please keep plugging away on your end and we'll get the best deal and then figure out payment.

      Think it, be it.

        No problem Mclain, will update as numbers come in. That seems pretty reasonable on your end, though couldn't complain if we could get it for less. Plasma cut is completely unnecessary for these.

          It would be good to sandblast some texture onto it, too.

          Noooooo!!!!! The reason why old cast iron is so sought out these days is because they sanded out the texture from the casting, leaving it super smooth. That's why grandma's cast iron is like teflon, and your eggs stick to your five year old Lodge.  These guys make heirloom quality cast iron for example, with smooth cooking surface http://store.finexusa.com/finex-12-cast-iron-skillet/

              Sandblasting definitely wasn't in the specs I put in[emoji2]  I have some cast iron that belonged to my grandma, likely 30 years old at least, and they are a very smooth surface. My favorite cookware actually

                Damn right. They (mostly) don't make 'em like they used to 🙂

                  Anyone know what happened to the mobile forum site?
                  Seems like a couple of months ago my phone just stopped showing the mobile layout.

                        @Broark: It's gone since ages. 😃 It was too much of a hassle to maintain it. I've asked on the forum if I could delete it and only 1 or 2 people said they use it sometimes.

                          I have a theory that cast iron skillets have always been made the same. As the pits from bead blasting the sand mold residue off get filled with seasoning they always smooth out. Sand molded cast iron that gets blasted is far different than taking a piece of structural steel and cutting it though. There may be an argument for texture on this non-routed side, particularly for baking applications, as it seems they have done with their gen 1 baking steel.

                          Think it, be it.

                                Speaking from my end, the mobile site proved difficult for uploading pics. So Tapatalk won out by default.

                                        Interesting, but wildly overpriced. Split suede, elastic, and a vibram wedge sole for $330?
