   this is fuckin genius
   
   the silver ring dealio helps contain the oil and the thermometer goes through it so it's at a convenient viewing angle and not awkwardly clipped on the pot

     @brokeassredneck @deprecated_ii @pinemarten Yeah it is. The factor seasoning coat doesn't help either. There's some YouTube videos of people looking into cast iron pans and they used to all be smoother. Probably cheaper tooling or it was done to replicate pitting on the 80 year old one grandma had. You can just hit them with a wire wheel and compound to get it smooth.

     @brokeassredneck @pinemarten lots of people use lodge and like it. it's certainly very affordable
     
     personally I think their stuff is way too rough finished, so I spend the time to smooth the cooking surface out. I have a lodge 5 qt dutch oven that I like but it was about an hour of work with power tools to get it where I wanted it

     @brokeassredneck @deprecated_ii I have a big dutch oven that i use but this is tempting. Maybe tidier and easier to filter and re-use the oil.

     @brokeassredneck @deprecated_ii @pinemarten Yeah that's what I normally use. Angle grinder is fun too, but you ruin the expensive disks too quickly on metal.

     @BowsacNoodle @brokeassredneck @pinemarten I use an angle grinder with a strip disc to do the bulk of the work, then finish with sandpaper
     
     strip discs are nice because they're cheap and forgiving
