Coach,
No insult taken. Lodge was the only cast iron stuff available to me many years ago..
I have MANY Bucks and Randalls and find them both excellent.
I purchased my first Model 1 in Dec '64 used from another paratrooper rotating back to the states. It was with me in country for three years. Served me well.
I had known the late Chuck Buck for a number of years and am friends with CJ Buck.
My dog,Luvvy,was friends with Gary Randall's dogs for years.
Now as for Lodge and Griswold,I have no connection and I am not the superb cook like Pappy and Coach so I will just do my best with what I have and watch them make those superb meals!!!!!!
Wayne
