At Walmart, normally $39.33. Great way to cook a steak.

looks good, but 160 to $200 are you kidding me? luccca1's looking even better now. hahahah
Wait for a sale - often as much as 50% off. The Smithey skillets are beautifully made - the cooking surface is nicely polished, a real pleasure to use. Haven't touched my Lodge skillets since - the difference is significant.

It's definitely not top of the line. I cook inside using one that was passed down from my great grandmother, smooth as glass. I use the lodge on the grill only. At less than $13, its darn near disposable.
Best place to find cast iron pans, is at yard sales and estate auctions. They are usually the old (better quality) pans and you can usually buy them for pennies on the dollar. We cook almost exclusively using cast iron pans. A well seasoned cast iron pan can be as non-stick as any of those chemically coated newbie pans.
Problem is when they need to be reseasoned, I haven’t mastered that task yet. I have one that I use that I got an ok season on, but it still needs work.

Bacon grease and patience.
Now you all have got me watching youtube videos on how to make a $12 Lodge smooth like a Smithey.
Thanks MDS
