think long term effects: a cigarette may not hurt you today, eating something fried won't either. Speaking as a doctor thats a silly thing to say. Many cancers come about from exposure to known poisons decades ago.

of course i'm NOT a doctor, i was just speaking as one. If there was a minute chance cooking over something unsafe could harm my children somewhere down the line I'd rather not use it

Earlier this year I took my cast iron dutch oven and a pork shoulder roast on a camping trip. The night before we left, I seared all sides of the roast then rubbed with vinegar and a homemade dry rub. Saturday morning I put the dutch oven on the campfire with the roast, drippings from searing it earlier, a couple of onions, a handful of cliantro and a beer. By sundown it was falling apart and everyone made sandwiches or got a bowl full.

It was the best and easiest camp meal I've had. I'll be doing the same on future camping trip, and plan to try making stew for the following day.

It's been at least 15 years. That long term enough for ya?

Look, I may indeed get cancer someday. But I really think it's a helluva lot more like to happen because I inhaled second-hand smoke a couple times a week in a bar for thirty years or because I spent too many years crawling around people's attics in in order to hook up their electricity than because I ate food cooked in a garbage can once a year or less. Sometimes you guys just gotta stop the fear-mongering.

We're all gonna get cancer from something. Might as well have some good food along the way

Wouldn't make my household stove out of the stuff, but I'm sure once a year is pretty dismissible.

hey my pie irons got rained on, and have a bit of rust now. any tips on removing the rust and proper way to store em?

Smoke some baby backs at home, wrap them in aluminum foil, seal in a vac lock bag if you have the ability, and freeze the ribs. Take them camping. It's as easy as that. Just take them out of the vac lock bag, warm in the coals of your fire and enjoy.

I smoked a pork shoulder the day before we went camping and finished it that morning. Took the whole thing to the campground and pulled it there. Not bad for my first try!

galvanized is bad if inhaled. you can get poisoned by it. this is why its not recommended to weld it. if yuo get sick while welding drink some butter milk to neutralize the effects. as for your food? im sure it would be safe. has been used for a very long time in way too many different cases to say someone got sick from eating something like this. i mean people use these things to smoke with. granted the seasoning process locks in the sides. so when you get a can season it up really good like yuo would a normal smoker. after seasoning you can keep if for the next time.

BTW lil chief pit grills are made with galvanized metal and have been for many many years.

I'd clean them up a little with steel wool. Then rub them with shortening or cooking oil, turn on the oven to 400, bake them for a few hours. They'll be fine.

When they cool, put a light layer of oil on them to keep them from rusting again.

 

[Homercidal]

Anything that dissolves rust will work fine. If you use a harsh chemical, wash very well afterwards. But steel wool or green scrubby pads should do it.

Or, if you want a safe, natural method, soak them in a bucket with a 1:6 ratio of molasses and water. The diluted molasses activates a chelation process which removes the rust. It might take a few days, depending on how rusty they are, and you need to remove any grease or oil that will block the molasses.

Or, you can get a container of mixed Arm and Hammer Super Washing Soda and a battery charger and make up an electrolysis machine, which will remove rust much faster (but not as safely, as the soda wash is caustic, while molasses just smells). You'll also need to create electrodes and anodes for the electrolysis method and some wire of course.

No need for a grill with this recipe. In fact a fire pit is required.

Steak:

Ingredients:
new york or sirloin steak
green pepper
onion
BBQ sauce
other seasonings if you want

Directions:

get a fire going to the point you have some nice coals.

layout some tin-foil about 18" long

chop up the veggies
season the steak if you want

Place the veggies and steak on the tin-foil and cover with BBQ sauce and wrap it up.

segregate some of the coals off to a corner of the pit, place the wrapped up steak on the coals.

Wait..... enjoy.
