Camp Chef Cast Iron Conditioner

We have been using Cast iron for many years and have some great old pieces from various trips.

Everyone has a different tip or trick to seasoning cast iron, for many years bacon grease was the "hot product" what a mess!

Many of my cast iron finds need some TLC, a little rust or extra build it can hide the true inner beauty of the cast iron, I have some Griswold, Lodge, and Camp Chef Skillets and Dutch ovens that are super old but look better than new.

THIS stuff is great, I use a couple of different tricks for rust, like hay alfalfa and coke, but to put that nice BLACK finish, the cast iron conditioner does the trick, it lasts twice as long as regular oil and doesn't leave any lasting after taste.

Remember you still have to take care of your cast iron and heat it to dry it but this is the easy way to keep it nice and black for a lifetime of great uses.

Someone posted cheaper at walmart, funny at the time of this review walmart was $4 more and ship to store... FYI

This was a little disappointing, but what could I really expect? Seasoning takes years (or at least a lot of time and smoke in your oven). I was trying to avoid that with this coating. It works OK, as a light coating after you wash your pan. But, truly, I used to rub olive oil on my hot pan, just bring it to a smoke, turn off the heat and let it sit until I used it the next time, and I think that method worked better. I'll use up the cream, but I wouldn't order it again.

This conditioner is better than Crisco or any other shortening or oil because it won't go rancid like other oils can. If you don't use your Dutch oven or other cast iron all winter and it just sits somewhere, chances are good that it will be rancid come spring and you'll have to strip and re-season it. That won't happen with this conditioner.

I was looking for an easy way to keep my iron skillet conditioned as we have several cooks in the house and many people use it. I ask each one to simply clean the skillet and leave on top of the stove so I can condition it before putting it away. It is always ready for use and works as well as seasoning it in the oven!

This product works great for conditioning cast iron cookware. I'm not sure that it's better than shortening (Crisco for example), but it's more convenient.

Garcima 15-Inch Carbon Steel Paella Pan, 38cm

Great, authentic little paella pan. We've used it constantly since we got it last summer (including last night). Easily feeds 8 people. The only thing to watch out for is that the handles discolored quickly, but it hasn't changed the performance of the pan. We're using it both on the stove top and in the oven, and I'm not sure which one caused the handles to change color. It's worth the little bit of extra work to oil it after cleaning because the surface really develops nicely. We liked this one so well, we also bought a 22-inch pan that we use outside on the barbeque.

This Paella pan worked out much better than expected. It seasoned nicely and works like a champ. Have used it several times so far and have not had any issues. Works well on both electric and gas burners. Perfect size for 8 servings.

The pan works great and I'm very happy with it. The only thing is that the steel is much thinner than I expected and the pan is not very heavy. It appears it may warp easy.

Napoleon 62018 Ultra Chef 18-Inch Plastic Grill Brush with Brass Bristles

Serves its purpose very well.

I like that it has brass bristles, no rust and easy on grill surface.

Caution: do not use on very hot grill, the plastic will melt (I wish it would be with wooden handle).

Scraper was worn out after 1st use. Would not recomend. Not what I expected from Napoleon. Would not purchase again.

4" Polar Array BBQ Grill, Smoker or Pit Air Venting Damper Kit

Shipping was great. Buyer should be aware that disc is totally flat and is cut out of 1/8" steel. My application (modifying an ECB el cheapo brinkman vertical smoker) required a convex contour for proper fitment. So I spent a fair bit of time pounding on the backside of the disc with mallet to get a shape that worked for me. After shaping and painting with black heat paint the part is great. It may be easier and cheaper to find comparable aluminum disc's as an alternative.

Maybe a bit pricey for what it is, but worth it if you really need one. I would recommend, too.

The part was a little rougher than I expected. The edges were broken but still bit jagged. Not a big deal for me but this part wasn't as finished as I hoped. Functionally, it is perfect.

Landmann USA 28925 Ball of Fire Outdoor Fireplace

I looked on line and in the common stores for a large fire pit that would allow bigger fires and still meet local fire codes for fully covered and contained burning and opted for the Landmann Ball of Fire for several reasons. First, it was at a great price for $189 free delivery, second it was solidly built, third you could open it up and add wood and keep the cover closed to contain embers and debris (some of the other fire pits said not to put the wire mesh cover on them while burning your fire... huh?), forth the shape was nice since I put limestone rocks around the base to make it look built in and add stability. The fire ball is deep enough to allow for small logs, but the viewing space allows you to have smaller fires that are still visible 360 degrees. All in all assembly was easy to do and it came with a free cover to keep it protected from the rain/snow. Very nice and highly recommended!

First, the pros: it's a great looking, easy to use, warmth giving fireplace. We used it the very first day we got it and enjoyed it immensely. I'd give it 5 stars if it weren't for the following cons, which have nothing to do with its performance.

The cons: It was missing the poker and it was missing the assembly instructions. Although we didn't particularly need the poker, we most definitely needed the assembly instructions. We went through every piece of paper and styrofoam in the box and they were simply missing. The internet came to the rescue and we downloaded and printed a set.

Originally, it appeared that some of the screws and nuts were missing. But, when we had finally unwrapped everything, including the handles that you assemble late in the process, we found more screws and nuts already mounted (which you have to unmount). In fact, most of the screws and nuts came in bags but they came screwed together, which is of no use and is ultimately a time-waster, since you've got to unscrew them all from one another to use them. Although some of the screws and nuts came assembled to the larger sections of the fireplace, we found several just floating around in the styrofoam when we were looking for the manual. I suspect that they had originally been attached to one of the rings or handles and worked themselves loose during shipping. They're easy to miss, so make sure to inspect everything before you toss out the packaging.

Because of the size and heft of the assembled pieces, this is a two person job. It all fit together reasonably well, but getting the last few screws and holes to line up was difficult since there was little play left in the metal pieces.

Also just wanted to echo a previous reviewer who said that you need to have sand for the bowl. That is indeed what the manual indicates, so we bought three one-pound bags of horticultural sand at the local hardware store. I think five pounds will probably be ideal, so we'll probably add a couple more soon.

Listen guys, my back yard continues to be the place for my buddies and family to come in the coldest days here in NC to sit in front of the pit and enjoy a GREAT fire and some good southern grilling. The unit itself came in solid in the box, and everything was fine until we started assembling it an realized that they sent us 2 of the same panels. Hence, I drilled 2 holes and it was done. Due to the extensive use of this product, the hinges that open the lid with have to be replaced with steel but they are holding up so far. Again, I doubt anyone is putting this much wood through this pit like I am, am an outdoorsman and prefer to be in the cold burning a fire than looking at TV. When I say that we burn wood, I mean we burn wood. All of my buddies have pits and they said that this one is absolutely awesome. To give you guys an idea, we go out on Saturday and literally cut a tree a week, for all of us to replenish our supply. I'd say at least 4 times a week am burning my pit outdoors. You can put huge logs into this thing, without any problems at all. On weekends we go through at least 100 logs without any problems because the wood is still moist, and it take more wood to keep our circle of friends enjoying the heat from all the coals.

This is my first review of many products that I have begun purchasing with Amazon. I got this pit for 179.00 about 4 month to this writing. And although am starting to see some rust from the original paint, it's because I did not use the cover due to having a bloodhound puppy in the yard that right now is destroying anything it can find. In summer when I give it a break I will paint it, replace the hinges, and get it ready for next season or for chilled summer nights. I saw the low scores on this one, and they are absolutely out of their minds on this product, maybe they just could not get around doing some minor things to it, but for me it was no prob at all to work on it.

2 of my buddies are saving up just to get this pit. BUY this product with confidence! Even though they missed matched one of the panels. Am giving this product a 5plus due to the amount of enjoyment that my family and friends have had with it. Remember to start your fire, and then setup the logs straight up tepee style with a 1/4 inch gap between logs even when adding new ones to let the coal feel the oxygen so that the logs light up faster; and you will be moving away from the heat trust me. My buddies bought some of the other pits here, and their wives never came out in the cold; with this pit there sitting outside in the coldest of days with a pad to warm up theirs buns :) us guys just get up and turn around. When this pit gets hot hot, it turns red with the amount of logs we put into it. The kids well they just put there hotdogs on a long S steal stick and cook them charbroil right of the pit. Enjoy this product as much as we have, it's worth the money even at the current price. Peace.

In honor of Earth Day (April 22, 2011), Al Gore and saving the planet from global warming... I decided to help clean up mother earth by raking up a small portion of my yard's pine needles to fill and test out my newly assembled BALL OF FIRE. My only complaints are that Landmann apparently tried to help me by pre-assembling 6 of the approximately 50 nuts and bolts (the rest they decided to thankfully securely package). Thanks to the HDS Delivery Man, those 6 nuts and bolts managed to shake themselves lose and fall out of the half ripped open box during transit to my location. Of course I could not return it for such simpleton reasons because my celebration countdown was already underway. Nor was I dumb enough to buy the minimum replacement quantity of 250 nuts/bolts from my local hardware store, so I nagged my neighbor who saved me from calling the manuals 1-800 'please call us and don't return it' support by utter patience line. Anyways, what really drew my attention to this product was the name BALL OF FIRE, which I have been known for previously making. My Californian neighbors with dirty looks always seem to freak out around FIRE so I was pleased to be the new owner of a patio firepit nearly 3 times as tall as my previous neighborhood device of terror. So check out my picture I posted. Yeah, mine is THE BALL OF FIRE unlike the other posted photos... and by the way a big philips head screw driver and a long head socket set, ratchet and about 1-2 hours of boredom will help you assemble the kit. ENJOY :-)

Not your typical firepit. The closing screen makes it very safe for kids and they love the way that it lokks like it is floating after dark. Nice and sturdy. Cool looking. FUN!!!! Amazon had the best price by far!

All-Clad LTD 11-Inch Square Nonstick Griddle

I am not a big fan of the All Clad LTD line but I do love this pan. I much prefer the All Clad polished stainless steel line (I have almost every piece and love it) but at time I was making this purchase I didn't know they made a stainless griddle and I also wanted the nonstick surface, I am pretty sure the stainless griddle is not nonstick. This griddle is a perfect size for pancakes. I debated on the grande size, I decided that since I don't make pancakes everyday it didn't make sense to spend the extra money and deal with storing the larger size. Also, I prefer smaller pancakes and this size is a better price and much easier to store. It is a great size for 4 small/medium-sized pancakes. I imagine it would also be more challenging to keep up with more than 4 at a time, particularly of you are making eggs at the same time.

This pan is not dishwasher safe due to the nonstick surface, but don't worry it is a breeze to clean. This pan is very, very well made and is backed by a lifetime warranty. Sometimes this pan is sold {at a special price} if you see it grab it. It is a steal at that price. Once you try All Clad you will be hooked too! Highly recommended! A+!

Part of the cachet for me in purchasing an All-Clad product was that their factory is less than 50 miles from my home. I always try to support American MANUFACTURERS, and was quite shocked to find this particular piece labeled "Made in China for All-Clad."

Damn. You can't trust anybody. But as for the product---

It is a solid performer. The non-stick surface is very effective, and remember to follow the directions and cook on a lower heat than you normally would. The thick aluminum transmits heat well, and also holds the heat, so when your item is done, get it off the pan.

I have had this pan for two years. I have probably used it more than 100 times, usually to make pancakes or french toast. It does a very good job, better than the Calphalon griddle that I had before. I downgrade it because it scratches too easily -and I have made an effort from day one to take very good care of it, using only nylon spatulas, promptly washing it gently by hand, and storing it so it won't be scratched by other pans. Still, after all that care, it has become scratched. So my verdict is that the griddle does a good job but it requires a lot of TLC.

I love this pan! I have the All-Clad stainless line, and bought this pan when my youngest daughter started to like grilled cheese sandwiches. You just can't cook more than one sandwich at a time in a regular fry pan. This pan has plenty of space to cook 4 sandwiches at a time, or 4 pieces of french toast, or 4 eggs... the list goes on and on.

My dad came to visit, and was coerced into making pancakes. He had always used a square electric griddle at home, but he gave my griddle pan a try. He liked it so much I gave him one for Christmas! Once again, plenty of space to cook 4 pancakes at a time.

The non-stick coating is durable, the food slips right off, and it is easy to wash. That is important, because this pan can't go into the dishwasher. It is also rather heavy, but since I just set it on the burner and cook, that isn't an issue either.

Bottom line is that both my father and I are very happy to make room in our kitchens for this pan.

Not a great griddle. The finish requires alot of maintance to keep it non-stick. Have to clean it with baking soda after each few uses. I've had it about a year & it is so warped that it's un-usable. I called All Clad because it it supposed to have a warranty but they require you send it to them & they have to check it out & approved it & possibly in a few months they would do something but they said more than likely it was user error from using it on too high of heat. So in short, I'm out of luck. So don't waste your money on a cheaply made product. Spend a little more & get a good product.

BC Hose/Regulator 30-psi

I built a propane fire table this summer and need something with a higher output than the standard bbq grill hose that you can buy at Walmart or Home Depot. This one really did the trick, The adjustable pressure allows for anywhere from a small candle light flame to a 3 foot high raging inferno. Don't think about it, buy it.

Weber Stainless Steel Grill Pan

This received top ratings from America's Test Kitchen (Cooking Illustrated & Cook's Kitchen). I was skeptical because I have tried about a dozen different grill pans in the 18 months, but none have really worked. This is the best I have used yet.

One was a square-ish pan and the corners snapped and became unusable. A common problem with many pans; they are welded and not stamped or folded. The welds usually break due to the high heat in the grill.

My old favorite is a bowl style; it's decent, but the problem is the top is bigger than the bottom so there is not a lot of actual grilling space. As a result you either have steamed veggies or you have to keep stirring.

The biggest complaint I have about most grill pans is the holes. Either they are too big and things like cherry tomatoes and sliced onions fall through, or the holes are too small. Small holes have many problems: difficult to clean, too many and the food gets too charred, too many holes and the metal separating the holes breaks...etc.

This pan is the best pan I have used yet. It it made of one piece with NO welds; the sides are bent up to create a lip and give the user an edge to flip and turn food. Also, the holes are not actually holes, they are slits. This means that one does not have to worry about food slipping through the spaces; from time to time sliced onions get stuck, but not really a BIG deal. It works great for Portabella mushrooms though it is not just for veggies, it's great for fish. Another big seller is that this is stainless and easy-ish to clean. It's not going to be non-stick easy to clean, you will have to scrub, but with a Brillo pad and elbow grease it's not a big deal.

The only complaint I have is the size. I have a two burner grill (unless I can talk my wife into getting a new grill next summer) and the pan can be a little too big for this type of grill. This "complaint" is not that big of a complaint since I usually don't do veggies at the same time as the meat.

If Weber updates this pan, I would recommend making it available in a smaller size and upgrading the metal; it's a little light weight. It's not bad, a little more heft would be nice.

If you have a grilling fanatic in your family (even if it's you) then buy this pan. It's great! You won't be disappointed. Get this pan.

When I was growing up in the Midwest the outdoor grill meant only one thing, MEAT! Fortunately people are becoming more sophisticated in what they choose to grill. Now it is not unusual to find fish, shrimp, mushrooms, asparagus, you name it, cooking right next to burgers and steaks.

The only problem is, of course, smaller foods can drop through the grill and onto the fire. I have purchased screens and disposable grill pans before and they worked just okay. When I saw this pan and how reasonable it was priced I had to get it.

I like the build of this pan, very heavy-duty without being too thick. The raised sides keep the food from falling off and makes the pan easy to carry. It takes a little effort to clean (I use a SOS pad) but that is to be expected.

I use a small Weber--the Q200-and it is just big enough for cooking for 4-5 people. This grill pan fits perfectly on it but if I want to cook both meat and veggies at the same time I would need a bigger grill. I thought that I would make this little video to show the pan in action. Thank you!

Best grill pan ever. Raised edges keep everything in the pan. Small openings in the bottom of the pan makes certain that nothing falls through. Big handles make it easy to move around the grill. I've been grilling for 37 years and this is the best grill pan I have ever used.

This pan saved our grill! We have a low-end gas grill that was given to me and my husband as a Christmas gift. No matter what settings we tried it would either burn the food or leave it raw. With this pan, we can turn the heat up to where it should be and the food doesn't burn! The only downside is that it is a bear to clean. Other people have recommended Easy Oven Off but I haven't tried that yet.

At the time I purchased this, the product description on Amazon incorrectly stated the dimensions as 14 x 11 inches in one place, and 17 x 11 x 1 inches in another. These are both wrong. When I received it, it stated clearly on the package that this grill pan is 13.5" x 18.5" x 1.5", which incidentally won't fit on my grill. I've submitted the correction to Amazon, but in the meantime buyer beware.

Perfect color & perfect even cooking for wings & legs! It needs to come with instructions but it is really good! Cleans up easily in the dishwasher!

I purchased the ManLaw Rib Rack approximately two weeks ago from Amazon and have used it three times to prepare great legs and chicken breasts. I marinate all my chicken with Weber sauces and cook the legs for 45 minutes and add the breasts for 30 minutes. The entire ManLaw family of BBQ utensils/tools is the greatest, I currently use their corn basket, potato rack and grill press. I like the quality of their products and intend to add more this Winter.
