Dutch oven with trivet ID and value help
« on: July 09, 2016, 08:38:56 AM »
Found this guy with the lovely words, make offer.   I don't have any pictures of the inside of the lid.  What is it?  What's a fair value on it?

Good Morning Tommy. What you have is a marriage. Two things put together because they fit, not because they came that way. You have what I suspect is an older Lodge Camp Oven lid, this is only a suspect as there is no photo of the underside of the lid. (Even with that photo sometimes positive ID's are difficult. That lid should be on a Camp Oven, that is a Dutch Oven with legs, or a Spider, a Dutch Oven with Legs that has a long skillet handle. The trivet I'm not sure on, I'll have to go look at mine as see. Hopefully someone else will tell you. :) The DO we will need photos that include the pouring tab if there is one top and bottom, and of the bail attachment area as well.

For what it's worth, the trivet looks very similar to current trivets offered by Lodge (see https://www.lodgemfg.com/camp-ovens-and-grills/cast-iron-trivet-meat-rack.asp; the main difference is the feet in yours are rotated 60 degrees from Lodge's current offering). It would not surprise me if this is an older Lodge trivet.

The Dutch oven cleaned up alright.   The lid on the other hand, is really being a pain.   It soaked in lye for weeks, ran through electrolysis for a day, got scrubbed with ss chore boy, back in electro for 12 hours, scrubbed again, soaked in vinegar/water bath for 12 hours, scrubbed, electro for 12 more hours, and it still looks like this.   The stuff will not scrub off.    It doesn't even appear to get lighter as I scrub.  It's going to be a user so I'm not worried about the appearance as much but dang, it's annoying getting beat up like this by a stupid lid.   I am fairly sure it's not paint as the chore boy doesn't touch it.

 Negative.  I believe it is an old lodge.   It is marked with P

That rust line does look like a gate mark in the original pictures though.

The machine marks are beautiful in the Dutch oven part. I hope they show up in good light when I am done seasoning it.    They go up the sides at an angle in this shot.

[size=12]You might want to look around the forum for suggestions about what kinds of scouring pads are OK for cast iron and what kinds are apt to leave undesirable coatings.  Personally, I don't use anything from the grocery store that was sold to scour modern pots and pans, but rather I use fine steel wool that you get in the painting aisle of a hardware store.  It's not stainless and it will rust if it gets wet and stays that way, but it's not coated with anything.  I don't see scratching problems, either, unless I use course stuff and get too worked up with it.   The really shiny scrub pads that they sell in grocery stores may be coated, and that may be causing the light gray deposits that you're seeing on these pieces. 

I know that anything brass is a big no-no, but I just don't know for certain about stainless steel chore-boy pads.  Hopefully someone with more experience with that sort of thing will speak up, or you'll find one of the posts that talks about it in greater detail. [/size]

Copper or Brass... will leave coloration that is hard or impossible to remove.  Galvanized will rust and leave oxidation on the CI piece.

The ss scrubbie is all I use.   On occasion I may use a small ss brush, but always stainless. The coloration isn't getting worse with scrubbing.    It came out of electro like that.    Once my sportsman grill is done, I'm gonna put the lid back in.

Hmm.  I don't think I have run across one of those.  Copper plated, yes, but not galvanized.

Well I tinkered with the tank tonight for a bit and got the amperage to double to about 20A.   This lid is going back in as soon as I get the room and try again.  :)

Next time I go to the Dollar Store, or Home Depot... I'll snap a pic of the galvinized/plain steel scrubbies... If I remember... :)

I think I threw the ones I mistakenly bought 6 years ago... into the trash.. once I realized I had purchased the wrong thing...  ::)
