Can't tell you the difference.
With my new cast stuff, left it on a low heat for a long time until the protective oils had burned off.
After cooling, rub with cooking oil to stop rust. I use my cast skillet every couple of days, so i treat it like a BBQ plate.......eg.........leave oily until ready to use, then clean when hot.
Cheers

Cast iron pots are used for cooking, dutch ovens when I eat way to many cashews, drink a lot of
home brew and then hop in the tent/sleeping bag with the missus.

Well Jnr, don't know about Dutch Ovens but a good Aussie
Camp Oven is great. You know, the ones with a big lip around the lid so you can put hot coals on the top.
Mate with one (or two) of those and a hot plate for the
camp fire or gas stove and even a pot or two, you can just about
cook anything you want.
A roast dinner done in a
camp oven on the
camp fire is like wow!
Don't mind living rough in fact I prefer it, but you can still be comfortable and eat very
well.
Cheers

Nomad says: A roast dinner done in a

and I say: A rost dinner done in a Cobb beats the above every time. wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow mmmmmmmmmm.
camp fires are great to sit around to enjoy a brew, have a yarn and warm one's cockles (whatever they are?) but for cooking, nah, too much messing about with a good fire.
