I dont care what anyone says I love my lodge castiron. Its wonderful product and very helpful knowledgeable employees
We love our cast iron cookware as well, and use it all of the time.
Loved the video. The brief moment his wife stepped into the video was adorable to say the least.
Thank you.
I paid $23.78 at a store in Anchorage, AK for an 8” Lodge skillet and $37.20 for a 12” skillet. I got them specifically for my parents cabin in Alaska.
It was so fun making my own seasoning on those pans.
They make the BEST fried home fries and Moose sausages!
Not unreasonable prices for that part of the country I would think. And with proper care they will last, quite literally, for generations! Thanks!
Thank you for bringing me to this store! I love cast iron and have almost unintentionally become a bit of a collector since I find I need this piece and that piece and now have many pieces! I'd love to get that shallow stovetop fish fryer. Could use it for so many things! Thanks again. 😊
Our pleasure! So glad you enjoyed this one. We have quite the collection ourselves.
Just got a 12" Lodge Dutch oven, can't wait to cook out after the hurricane season. Greetings from Barbados :)
Omg, I will be checking out this place for sure. Thanks for sharing.
Jay, It is a great place, and always something new. We had hoped to get back there at the end of August, but, unfortunately I got cancer and wasn't able to travel, but I am hoping we can get there again in the coming year. Thanks. Paul
I saw your video in my suggested and audibly gasped out loud 😂 I told my husband “Okay that’s it we are going to Knoxville!” I’m with her. It’s like dying and going to heaven. Who cares if we are coming from Alaska? Worth it!!
It is a cool place, and there are others like it.
"Gone to heaven" I hear you, Bev. What a nifty find, Paul! Love the display with the hanging pot. I have never come across a Lodge, will look out for it since you say there are locations all over the USA.
I didn't mean to make it sound as though they are necessarily plentiful, but there are stores across the US, just not a lot of them.
All stores are EAST of the Mississippi
Thank you for sharing I love cast iron pots and pan,
It is our pleasure. So glad you enjoyed it. We also love our relatively large collection of cast iron cookware. Thanks so much! Paul
great video, i am planing on making a camp cast iron cooking kit with different skillets, pans, etc. not sure what i'll need most of all.
It's going to depend largely on the type of things you like to cook, and how many people you're cooking for I suppose. A relatively large frying pan, like a 12", and a 5 qt. kettle with a lid are two we carry most all of the time at a bare minimum.
Would love to visit that outlet store. I'm from Gatineau Quebec Canada, just across the river from Ottawa Ontario. Guess I need a road trip. :) Nice video clip. Thanks for shaing. Very well done. Focus is fantastic.
Thank you so much. WE had an especially good time making this episode because we love cast iron so much.
Just discovered your channel, great video! Subscribed! Look forward to more videos.
Thank you David! And Welcome! So glad to have you with us. We posting as much as we can right now, several times a week. Problem is, and you will soon discover this, I am going through radiation therapy for bone cáncer, and I will be fine in a few weeks, but it makes the Schedule unpredictable for a Little while.
such a great video! Thank you for making this and kudos to your camera lady
Thank you n8rm. We are big fans of cast iron cookware, and always have been. Bev (my wife, a.k.a. camera lady) works very hard to catch the best images possible, and we have always loved working together on most everything. Thanks for the kind words, and thanks for joining us. Paul
Mr.Paul thank you for nice video and information
Thank you for watching.
You're pushing a soft point here... I love the Tenn. River system in the Knoxville area, and the city itself. And I actually used Lodge ironware there for cooking veggies and frying fish. I remember the skillet for being very well balanced and handy.
We love our cast iron cookware, and we use it literally all of the time. I just can't seem to stop buy more!! :-)
So, if you ever visit (western) Europe, A Le Creuset store is close... www.lecreuset.be/ustorelocator/location/map (incl. factorty outlets)
Viewing in March 2021, wow have times changed! Wish I could have been there....currently lots of shortages or price gouging on Lodge cast iron. Been trying for 3 weeks to order a 10” camp stove on their website. Thanks for the video!! ✌️
Yeah, there have been a lot of unusual and unexpected reactions to the events of the last year. Things will eventually stabilize. They eventually always do. Just keep trying and I suspect with time you will get your order. The more common items like skillets and griddles seem to be readily available now in most department stores. Perhaps the stove is just in higher demand or there are some logistic problems.
Never have to much cast iron... I still have my grand parents cast pan..its not a lodge but it gets used every day...but i still lodge and wish i had more... Great video..
Thanks Ronald! We both have pans we inherited, plus a bunch we have gotten new, and used, over the years. Always works great for us! Thanks for the kind words!! Paul
I would have a field day in that store and I have to remember that when planning my next vacation. I already own a Lodge indoor dutch oven, and an outdoor dutch oven which I recently purchased due to going back to cooking with the non stick cookware wasn't satisfactory and I was tired of wasting money on stuff I would have to replace every two years of less.
Well it is a great place to shop! We have quite an extensive collection of cast iron cookware we have picked up over a lifetime, and some from the previous generation that we each inherited. It makes for some great cooking. Thanks so much!! Paul
OH I see a little part of where you were on your holiday weekend. Neat store.
This was too much fun to pass up, so we asked if we were allowed to video in the store and they said yes. Videoing in public places is always challenging, but we still really enjoyed doing this one. Thanks.
3:52 I realize I'm 4 years to late for this but they should have charged $18.96 for those 120th anniversary skillets.
Well, that would have been mathematically amusing, albeit probably lost on the great majority of customers.
Been there love it !!!! Good video
Thanks Ray. We've been here a couple of times, and can't seem to help ourselves from buying something every time. :-) So glad you enjoyed it! Paul
Lodge makes a great product. In Boy Scouts some patrols bought the cheaper cast made in China. That stuff had handles break off lids and other items crack. Lodge always did great! I also think it is the only foundry making cast iron in the USA.
Hey thanks for commenting! We certainly prefer Lodge to most other foreign makes. It holds up great and always preforms great. Thanks!
I stop by that store every time I pass it, in fact I'll be back by this August, to grab a couple lids for a couple pans, I love cast iron cookware, and love the store. my goal is to have a complete set
great video, just makes me want to return to Tennessee even sooner now
Thanks so much. We also love cast iron, which is probably evident from some on the cooking videos. LOL! Not even sure how many pieces we have now, but it's a lot. So glad you enjoyed this episode! Paul
That is in Sevierville, Tennessee. I go to that outlet a lot as well as the store in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee too.
Very cool! I have not been to the store in Pigeon Forge yet, but we certainly would like to next time we are in that area! Thanks so much! Paul
thanks for making the video, i am a cast iron junkie as well
Thanks Jim! We keep buying more, even though we don't technically need it. It's not like it's ever going to wear out. :-) Thanks for joining us! Paul
Omg this is awesome I have one skillet and I’m looking to expand my collection. It’s my favorite thing to cook with . I didn’t really how much they actually made ! Which deep skillet do u recommend for family cooking
Oh Lord, that is a nearly impossible question to answer. The 12" is a basic must-have in any kitchen. However, in addition to several of those, (yes, several) I also own a variety of smaller ones, but my typical go-to pan is either my 13.5" or 17". It depends on what I am cooking, but I like to have some swinging room, and for fish the 17 is an absolute must. I have several 10" pans I also use for baking pies. So, my idea of a basic kit is an 8, 10, 12 and 17 skillets, a 2-ish quart sauce pan, and a 5 to 7 quart Dutch oven or kettle.
Thanks you soo much this really helps ! I can see how the 17 inch is best for fish. I fry small fish in my current skillet and I always think I really need to go a bit bigger for bigger fish. Really I just love lodge and i just want everything cast iron now lol. But this narrows down essentials which where I need to start. So thanks for all your advice.
We need a Lodge store in Fenton Mo, right there in the Gravois Bluffs...
Took me a minute to figure out where the Gravois Bluffs was, but I got it. Yeah, that looks like exactly the sort of setting a Lodge Outlet would be perfect! I am sorry to say that I haven't been to Missouri since 2011, which was a year before I started this channel, but we would love to get back again one day. Thanks!
I love all my skillet and my dust oven I been seeing here on utube people taken there home and using the sander on there to make smoother never on my cook cook only
Yeah, there is really no reason to do anything to them other than season them and cook. Thanks!
Love the video, wish I was there
Hey thanks so much! We've been there a couple of times, and picked up something new each time. They were super nice, and very gracious about letting us film there. In general we prefer cast iron for cooking, and I have quite the collection of it now. Really appreciate the comment! Paul
My favorite area in the store is the factory seconds area. You can find some great deals there.
It is nearly impossible for me to choose a favorite part. I have to exercise extreme caution and self-control when I go in there.
Oh my gosh! I would be in heaven as well!!!!
Yeah, we had to be careful we didn't get carried away! After all, we had a pickup truck, so things could have gotten out of hand! LOL! Thanks!
Le Creuset is awesome....iffin' you have the THREE bills to drop on a dutch oven. I say just buy Lodge...keep it in 'Murica muh peeps !
Agreed, and I’m not much a fan personally of enameled iron since the enamel can break and is virtually impossible to get off without killing the iron. It will inevitably start degrading over time. I really like having the regular plain Jane oil seasoned iron.
@@akhoneybee9076.. It'll last a long time if you don't abuse it or walk away from a high heat pot. Reality is people eventually screw up 🤣🔥
Did lodge discontinue the sportsman grill ? The small one . I can’t find one anywhere.
I do not know, but it wouldn't surprise me. It would be a shame if they did though.
i went once and some things sold more expensive than what i pay at our local stores here in Wisconsin !
So jealous dad. Definatley a must go to eventually.
II thought so! This is the place your pizza pan came from. Thanks for watching!
You have a radio voice, Paul.
Wow, thank you! Certainly a nice thing to hear. Thanks for joining us.
I have the face for radio! 🤓
This video makes me anxious to go back to one of the Lodge stores. But, goodness, I have so many pieces already! If you ever have a question or issue with a Lodge product call their customer service. I had a problem and they took care of it right away and were extremely nice.
Thanks for the advice. We also have a ton of cast iron cookware. Some of it has been passed down from out mothers, and a lot of it we have purchased ourselves over the decades. The folks at this store were super friendly and helpful also.
hi Paul! I've looked at some of their stuff at the Birch Run outlets before but that store really looks impressive! The leather pot handle cover is ingenius- what a great way to not lose all the skin off your hands!
I don't know if you have many more trips planned this fall or if any are in the area but if you were a fan of the Andy Griffith Show I was just reading an article last week that the lady who played Thelma Lou does signings every month at the Andy Griffith Museum In Mount Airy- (She retired to the town that Mayberry was based on)
Anyways, thought I'd mention in case that ever took you or Bev's fancy & you were headed that way anyway!
I hope you're having a great week! 😊
Thanks Annie! Well, as chance would have it, the next TENTATIVE trip is in fact to North Carolina, so that would conceivably work. However, we are getting a little burned out, and the response to the new stuff has been . . . well, less than exemplary. At least this morning, I am questioning what I am doing. Thanks for the idea, and we'll see if it works out. Thanks mostly for sticking with us. :-)
RealUnitedStatesVlog Sorry to hear that. You both be sure to take care of yourselves- that's the most important thing. I guess if you decide to keep going forward & posting (& I for one hope you do in some capacity) you need to make sure you're visiting places that you really wanted to travel to anyway- even if you weren't filming ¬ going at it so hard as you do work all week as well :)
Their is no question of me sticking around- I'm here ,you're stuck with me now :) I know I have missed the last batch that went up but they're in my watch later playlist and I do always get to them in the end :) I wasn't watching too much of anything I was having a flare up my auto immune disease and my eyes were effected so I was needing to rest them quite a bit. That was the only thing keeping me away.
Like I said, you guys need to do what's best for you- just don't do anything drastic right away- like disappear from all social media without a trace or anything. I would miss your videos but if you decide this isn't for you, I'd still like to stay in touch and hear how you guys are doing. (I know this is an extreme jump from what you said-- and I hope a break, a refocus, or simply a night's sleep helps bring clarity to the situation for you)
I'm here with or without the videos :)
Thanks Annie. We appreciate that more than you can know. I'm not quite at pull-the-plug mode yet, but I am reevaluating the channel. I think I'm just tired this morning. Reevaluation is actually a good thing, and perhaps we will come up with a new segment that will be fun and interesting. We still have a couple of weeks of material in the can yet to post, so there is that! :-)
RealUnitedStatesVlog that's good to hear! I hope you find something that works better for you. I look forward to what you have filmed and wjatever you may decide to add or change in the furure :)
Just know you'd be missed if you ever did jump ship 😊
Paul, i for one think your channel is wonderful, it makes my day when i see you have put up a new video!
Oh,they are very nice,I wish I get them.
They are very nice, and last a lifetime. We have spent most of our adult lives collecting ours, and it has served us very nicely. Thanks. Paul
I just picked up a new 10 inch lodge skillet for 7.00 and a 12 dutch oven for 30.00
Great! Those will serve you the rest of your life, and are both essential pieces in any kitchen.
The Lodge foundry is in South Pittsburgh Tenn.
Super awsome
Thanks so much Darlene. Glad you enjoyed this episode. Paul
thank you
You're very welcome.
When will Lodge get an outlet store for all of us C I addicts on the West Coast?
I have no idea, but I wish they were all around the country! :-)
There is no substitute for
Griswold. lodge castings are junk, coarse surface filed with porosity.
I have a Griswold as well, but we all have different opinions in this world. I will be honest with you, sir, I have no problems with my Lodge CI, and I actually prefer to use them more than the Griswold.
Ever The best one.
Thanks
new to cast iron here, has anyone here been using a new lodge cast iron pan and hasn't done anything to it except season it? does it smoothen over time into looking and feeling like glass like older cast iron i see here on youtube? or is the texture still rough? hope someone replies and if possible id like to see how your pan looks now and how long youve used it for. thank you. btw i have a 10" skillet. not looking very good. getting darker I think but not really black in color. it's more brownish to be honest when you look at it.
Well, the surface finish is largely (though not necessarily completely) independent of the seasoning. So there is some flattening of the inside finish over time, but that means decades. Now keep in mind that most pans need to be re-seasoned periodically. Because the pan should be BLACK and not brown inside. Perhaps next time we season something I can make a video on cast iron care. Paul
RealUnitedStatesVlog thank you for the reply. i dont know what im doing wrong since i follow the proper steps and procedures of seasoning and cleaning ive seen here on youtube. i just noticed that my cast iron has like a fine leopard pattern on the inside. i dont feel any bumps or anything and you wont notice it unless you really look at it with good light. is this bad? how do i correct this? or how do i correct my pan looking brown and not black? ty
I really don't know what you tell you. As long as it works okay I suppose it doesn't really matter.
Regarding leopard pattern. I have several old smooth Griswold's and 2 heavily used Lodge pieces for outdoor use. I had never seen the leopard pattern until approx 4 months ago. I had bought a country ham and had it sliced. Each morning I throw a slice into a dry Griswold assuming the ham would fairly quickly thaw then provide some grease to coat pan. It doesn't. It provides grease beneath the ham only leaving the extreme 50% outer area to remain dry. The outer 50% is what leopard printed in my pan. I feel quite sure I can place pan in oven using self-cleaning setting and take pan back to original unseasoned status then re-season but, pan is cooking totally fine. I am sure forgetful me will forget something cooking soon (happens every 2-3 years) requiring me to burn off old seasonings and start from scratch. I recommend never to dry cook in cast iron. When cooking, place fatty items on bottom or at least coast pan with light application grease/oil.
When Lodge switched to pre-seasoned cookware many years ago (which helped sales since a lot of people didn't know how or wanted to season the new items) Lodge had to add a slightly textured surface to hold on to the sprayed seasoning. If you want a very smooth cooking surface, you will have to do that yourself or season the cast iron a LOT of times to build up the surface.
Nice episode my friends! :-)
Thanks Ettore! This was perhaps the most fun part of the trip for us personally.
You both continue to enjoy this beautiful time together ;-)))
with what you do! because this is the point... just simply to have fun!!! :)
NEED ONE IN TEXAS!!!
I can definitely see where this would be a popular place in Texas. However, there is a really great place called la Tienda de Cocina in San Antonio, and although they don't carry cast iron as I recall, they do have a lot of very cool cookware! Thanks!
Is coating is health problem?
No
There's only one trivet at your online store . . . unless I missed it! (3:11 mark)
Apparently there has been some misunderstanding: I don't have an online store. Perhaps you mean the Lodge online store, but I don't sell anything online.

There is nothing like Cast Iron Cookware...
Agreed. It still makes up the majority of our cookware.
Why cant Lodge make a pan smooth ?????
"smooth" is an ambiguous term. From my point of view, they do. A secondary machined surface would make the pan prohibitively expensive, and add nearly nothing to its performance.
do a quick pan here XD
Actually we couldn't. We agreed to keep the customers out of the shot, so panning was sort of out of the question.
3:35 "...La Crussette..."
Le Creuset is actually pronounced more like luh-crew-zay.
don't care
My girlfriend would have to literally drag me out of that store if I ever step foot in it!
It is difficult to find ones self-control in there I will admit that.
"if you could pan over hear please"...no pun of course!
M
Not sure what you meant to write, but it appears to have gotten truncated.
I don't think to find Loge store here in the island off Montreal.
