Lanney,
  I second what you said. Maybe our joking around does get out of line once
in awhile, but hell life is too short to be serious all the time. The way I
figure it, if'n them NonTexican fellers can't put up with a little joking
around, they have a button that says DELETE ! ! !

  It truly is a shame that everyone cannot be fortunate enough to be a

Hi Don,

"Good Condition" as in fully operational, as in shootable??? If so I
would say $450 is  a reasonable price for an original, if that is, it's
truly an original as you can't buy a reproduction for that price.

Solid veg. oil like Crisco is better.  Place aluminum foil on the
bottom of the oven and set the pot/skillet, etc. upside down on a
rack.  "Bake" for an hour.  Quite right, in that it will get better
with use.  Above all others, I like and use my Lodge cast iron more
than anything else.

I cook with my cast iron pots and pans everyday.  For the pans I use
everyday or so, I just keep a good greasy surface on them.  I use the
scapular to clean off the bits of cooked on food, and then just wipe them
out with a clean paper towel or use water and a wash cloth with little or no
soap.  After they are clean, I will put them back on a warm stove or into a
warm oven.  If the pot needs seasoning, then I spray them with Pam or grease
them with a little butter or oil, wipe clean with towel, and put them in a
oven at 350 for an hour or two.  I have even cooked bacon in an unseasoned
pan at a low temp. and being careful to turn the bacon often so it does not
stick to the bottom of the pan.

I buy only cast iron cookware that has been grounded or milled inside.  I
have even been known to take some sand paper and sand the inside of a pot if
I  did no like the finish in it.

The one problem that I have had with cast iron pots is to store them for a
month or longer with a too thick of a layer of seasoning on them, and the
fat or oil will turn rancid.  I do have certain pots I only use
infrequently, so I will use soap on them when I wash them and not re-oiling
them, but being careful to heat them to dry them.  When I get read to use
them again, I will pull them out several hours before and re-season them.

In short, to season an iron frying pan, slowly cook some bacon in it.

Hope this helps.

Subject: MtMan-List: Model 1803 Rifle/ Lewis and Clark

There has been much discussed on whether or not L&C used the Model 1803
rifle; the facts are available in the original journals and review of early
government ordnance correspondence.
  The fact that the "short rifle" as specified by Secretary of War Henry
Dearborn was in production by late 1803 can be seen in two 1803 dated
specimens, serial numbered 14 and 94. The letters concerning production can
be seen in Hicks's "Notes on U.S. Ordnance, Volume 1", page 25.
   Lewis's rifles were completed by the eighth of July 1803 at Harpers
Ferry, and improvements to the design were made in December 1803 at the
suggestion of Dearborn (adding a brass band on the forestock, a wider rear
sight, and a bell shaped entry pipe). This evidence strongly suggests that
expedition rifles lacked these improvements. Also, the suggestion that
expedition short rifles had slings is unsubstantiated with the lack of any
supporting documentation or physical evidence. The gun slings procured for
the expedition were obtained from the Philadelphia arsenal (not Harpers
Ferry), and were included with implements for muskets.
  The fact that the Model 1803 was used by the Corps of Discovery can be
seen in four journal entries-
(Lewis, 12 April, 1806)- "we caused all the men who had short rifles to
carry them in order to be prepared for the natives should they make any
attempts to rob or injure them." Clark's comments are similar to Lewis's on
this date.
Ordway (18 June, 1806)- "Drewyer and Shannon Sent on a head to go to the
villages of the pell-oll-pellow nation  they took one of the Short rifles in
order to git a pilot if possable to go over the mountn with us."
Lewis (11 August, 1806)- "... the ball had lodged in my breeches which I
knew to be the ball of the short rifles such as that he had."
 Hope this clears up some misconceptions.

Yours, &c.

Ted,

    The way I always do it is to rub cooking oil all over the inside of the
pot/pan and then just put it on the fire and let it burn off. However I was
given a method by a guy who makes the rondy Ciruit and sets up a cook camp and
serves a real good/cheap breakfast or dinner. (Any body know Doyle? Talked to
him lately?) He told me that he does the same but instead of cooking oil, he
uses bees wax. Rub it into the cooking suface and put on the fire and let it
cook off. Now where I re-season from time to time, he told me that the big pot
and large pan he uses almost exclusively were seasoned some 10 or 15 years ago
and never have had to be re-seasoned.

TrapRJoe,

 Like not a tree for a 1000 miles! Ain't ya ever heard of "fat cow"? Wonder
where the phrase came from? <BG> Some reported beaver tail to be quit horrid
and an acquired taste at best. But yes the frontiersman often was fat starved.
But bee's wax? Won't hurt you unless you inhale the vapors while you are
heating it but then most any wax is very detrimental to your health if
inhaled. As to being used to season cast iron, I really doubt it since cast
iron was a scarce item on the western frontier by most accounts. Great stuff
to cook in but most of the lists of materials show sheet steel/iron, brass or
copper cooking pots going west. It's true that there was some cast iron cook
ware but not for dragging around on your trapping runs but for use in
established camps and posts. Doesn't take much fat pork, or other oil to
season a cast iron pot. Why resort to bee's wax? But if it works for you and
that's what you want to do go right ahead. I remain.......

I was wondering if  one could grow this stuff in Missouri?  Don't take me

and use it as a theraputic smoke every once in a while.  I know the natives

I read somewhere that if you use Canola or Olive oil to season your
pots, that they won't go rancid, like the veg oil or fats.

Lanney,

Call any other Finn than me a Swede and the Texican blood will come out and bite ya. It's Finlander Lahti,
thank you. Every since we kicked the Swedes out and stood off the Ruskies in "39" and "40" with 19th
Century weapons for a 100 days in Arctic winter contiditons! Course we aren't as proud as Texicans are.
And now I'm part one too. Still don't know what to make of that. But in any case I will remain......

YMOS
Capt. Lahti'

I attest to the 'do not use soap on cast iron'  advise, If I even think
of using soap on my wife's cast iron, she'll skin me...  She's awfully
proud of her cast iron (she CAN cook with it, too). Her cast iron was the
only contested property from her divorce from her previous marriage, she
got it.  If you value your scalp, don't get soap near cast iron...!

The Lodge web site warns AGINST using soap, and with GOOD reason.
'Hot water ONLY!  I dry it with a paper towel, heat it on the stove a
tad, then wipe it down with a thin coat of oil.  I know of a fellow
who had just been married, and is/was a chef.  His wife wanted to "do
the right thing," and scrubed all his cast iron with a stainless pad.
A new marriage was "rough" at the beginning.<bg>
