My mom got kind of fragile in her mid-70's and could no longer safely lift the dutch oven and the big skillet, so I got to inherit them early. But she used the small cast iron frying pan to bake corn bread for the rest of her life. So . . . you may get to inherit the heavy pieces early, and you can have Mom and the cast iron! :thumb:
I found some in Houma which had 9 qt and up (Davidson's Hardware, True Value Hardware, Richard's Rest. Supply). But i was looking for a smaller, 3 to 5qt, to cook barbeque beans on the grill. I found one at Academy. 5 qt by Lodge, which i looks like pretty good quality & seasoned ready. I'm considering getting a 7-9 qt to cook with. Although, i'm weighing whether the added time with maintaining the pot would be worth it. The 5 qt i'm only gonna use only about 6x a year.
If I remember, I'll stop by Klondyke Hardware on my way home tomorrow. I know they carry all the burners and crawfish pots and stuff like that. That's about the only other place around here I can think to look (Davidson was easily my 1st thought).
Man come on there is nothing like rubbing your own pot with oil! Ok have fun you dirty minded people!
