Cast Iron Beckerheads, Sound Off!

Cleaning the old girl up. Rinsed it all off, scrubbed it a bit to get the loose stuff off, and sprayed it down good with heavy duty easy off cleaner. Put it in a garbage bag to sit for a few days. Should clean it up good. Got some pads, brushes, and oil for it when it's done soaking.
 
Okay, take two.

Picked up this cover at the Lodge outlet on the way home from Blade. Going to hit it with some Camp Dry.

And for bacon and eggs, I picked up the reversible griddle. This'll work well on my gas grill too.

Nice Guyon. Lodge used to make a fish fryer/griddle that was oval, and fit the top. You could set it on the grill, or take the grill off, and set it into it. This one. The lid flips over for a griddle:

That's pretty cool, Dubz. Those are going for a premium on the bay, but I'll keep my eyes open. We have a big flea market here every month, and who knows what I might run up on?
Sportsman Guide has something similar they call a Cast Iron Casserole, but I'm thinking that the cast iron must be made overseas.
 
It is a pretty cool setup. Like you said, not cheap. I discovered that whilst looking for the history on the grill.

Not sure if anyone else has seen this, but it suggests that flax seed oil is the best for seasoning cast iron. I believe I read the same thing in a recent issue (last year?) of Cook's Illustrated.

I was looking for info on seasoning too and found the article that one links too, she gets into the science of seasoning... http://sherylcanter.com/wordpress/2010/01/a-science-based-technique-for-seasoning-cast-iron/
 
I just brushed with your toothbrush and pooped in your toilet.
The best part? You'll never remember any of this.
 
Since I'm grilling vicariously through you guys, could you please try this and let me know how it is?:D

INGREDIENTS

2 Cups ketchup
60 ml Laphroaig whisky (we used Laphroaig Quarter Cask)
1/3 Cup brown sugar
1/4 Cup minced onion
2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 Tablespoons water
3 Cloves garlic crushed
1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 Tablespoon tomato paste
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 1/2 teaspoon liquid smoke (available at any good home brew/distillation shop)
1 Tablespoon Honey mustard
30ml Teriyaki sauce
30ml HP sauce
1/2 teaspoon cayenne (we used hot)
Fresh ground pepper to taste



MATERIALS

1 Medium Sauce Pan. Note your pan needs to be wide enough to let the sauce simmer at about 1.5cm to 2cm deep but not wide enough that is becomes too thin and dries the sauce out or burn.
1 Container to hold sauce once it is cooked sauce. You will find the empty ketchup squeeze bottle will be ample so save it and rinse it out.
1 Wooden spoon
1 Blender
1 Dram of Laphroaig extra

Sounds great - I'll try it out this summer.
Thanks for including the link - looks like the trick is in the method.
Not sure I can cook with $60 Single Malt - I have much better uses for that!
How much trouble will I be in if I use JW Black in there?

Use what you wish. I bet it will be good.
 
I don't think I could do that with Laphroaig -- maybe with the JW red, since it's comparatively cheap...
 
I'm dying to get home and do some grilling. My grill is lonely and I have a bottle of Laphroaig Cask Strength waiting for me. It'll probably be another six months or so before I get home.:(
