LodgeSportsman's Cast Iron Pro Grill - 1 Each, Black

After throwing out a succession of the stamped metal Weber's that have their issue with rusting away and other problems. I wanted to get something more hibachi like. Your multiple Chinese models that look okay but they're so cheap you just wonder is that the real thing. Got a lot of Lodge cooking stuff and it's all made pretty good which proves America can at least make an cast iron pan. Hibachi kicks ass it's much more spiritual and easy to cook a small meal on. The grill is super thick metal and it just actually grills and Cooks meat beautifully and delicately and leaves little marks it's an experience. It's a little fussy you get out have to get used to cleaning it and oiling it and all the things you do when you love a piece of cast iron. The reward is after it gets really well seasoned it Cooks a damn good meal.

I love this grill.Unfortunately..., I can't seem to get Amazon to follow delivery instructions..., again.

I am a Lodge cast iron fan. I inherited a 10" and 12" Lodge cast iron pan and lids from my grandparents over 30 years ago - these are family heirlooms with many fond memories - still in use today! Over the years I have added to this collection including dutch ovens, woks, skillets, pots and accessories. All Lodge.We just got this Lodge Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Grill. Why? First because it's a Lodge. Enough said. Second, because our large gas grill, outdoor fire pit grill and Santa Maria grill are too big to cook on for just the two of us. Why build a bon fire or flame on a 36" grill when cooking for two?This Lodge Pre-Seasoned Cast Iron Grill is perfect for two. Easy coal or oak wood starting. Plenty of room for a few steaks and veggies or hamburgers along with all the fixings. The air venting allows you to get the fire/coals just the way you want for a perfect cook. It's also portable - its a bit heavy requiring two hands - but it's also Lodge cast iron.While this grill is "pre-seasoned" I always prep and season ALL my Lodge cast iron before use. Brush down with a stainless steel brush followed by a stainless steel pad, wash under water, rinse and repeat. Oil it all with a good quality vegetable or olive oil or canola oil and pop the cast iron into the oven at 350F for an hour. Once out wipe down with a very light coating of oil. Did this with the grill as well. Seasoning and keeping it seasoned is a critical success factor when using cast iron.Highly recommended for grilling for two. Easy to use and cooks great with charcoal or with oak. Hey, it's a Lodge. Enough said.

This grill was something I’ve longed for since 2010. I’m so happy that I bought myself one.I’ve used it once, and am so very happy with how it works.I’m 68 and I was a little scared to use charcoal again.Wow, I was missing out with the gas ones.Lodge products have always been a solid choice for cookware since the pioneer days or longer.The quality is the same and you will be passing this on for generations.

Mine arrived with one of the pegs the grate stands on was defective and was one have inch shorter, causing the grill plate to lean.I am sure it will be taken care of.All and all seems like a very nice grill.

Heavy cast iron lasts, steel brush clean up, flair up flavors, draft control, USA foundry, optional fish fryer available, beautiful casting!

This was a gift for my parents. We have not yet used it. In putting in the 2 screws I simply hand tightened the nuts on the 2 provided bolts. I do like the draft door design on this one. We will likely use a Weber mini charcoal chimney starter since this doesn't have to have a large load. Great layout and design. Perfect for someone who loves the taste of charcoal, but is challenged on space!!

Solid! Worth the price.
