    You can still get vintage Wagner cast iron for a decent price on eBay or FB marketplace, but over the past 15 years people have started to catch on to what I just mentioned. So it’s not as dirt cheap as it once was.

    These days I generally know how to cook on a pitted lodge without it sticking, but smooth cast iron is more forgiving.

      The difference is what part is more forgiving

      • a smooth well seasoned surface is most forgiving for your food not sticking
      • a rough sandcast surface is most forgiving of poor cleaning habits. The seasoning is usually good enough and it is more likely to remain adhered
