[QUOTE="Trapper John, post: 4852077, member: 40"] In addition to some other brands, I have acquired a decent amount of Lodge cast iron over the years. And I always use it the least. I’m a fan of the company, but for whatever reason their pre-seasoning has the texture of a bedliner instead of the glassy smooth surface I prefer. So this past Sunday I decided to fix it. I took three of the roughest pieces I had and refinished them. That second picture there should give a good idea of what the surface is like before I got to work. Way too rough. No way that would turn loose of an egg. The third picture is after I stripped the interior of each piece then sanded it down with 60 grit sandpaper before finishing with 120 grit. Some pockmarks remained in the iron, but they could only be seen and not felt. The surface was glass smooth. That last picture is after three seasoning cycles. Slick as goose crap. Now I need to get some greasy food in them to build up a nice black finish, but I’m happy with the improvements.
