While walking my dog the other day I found this out on the curb in front of someone’s apartment and hauled it back to mine. It was pretty heavy to trek back with for half a mile, but worth it!
It was in great condition and just needed a quick and mild cleaning. I haven’t used the sides with the grades yet as I’m not 100% sure what would be best on that. It worked great on my cheapie nexgrill sautéing some fajita veggies. I paired them with some shrimp on skewers that I clearly did not soak for long enough.
I seared some Carne Asada on it last night but forgot to take pictures as we were too hungry lol. All in all, I’m very happy with this score.
I would love to hear your experiences with cast-iron skillets on the grill and any tips or ideas y’all have, especially for grated side. Happy summer and happy grilling!

Great find ! Haha
Geeze great find!
Shrimps on the Barbie..
FYI – that’s a griddle, not a skillet.
I’d always be hesitant on found cast iron in the dumps or on the road. At the very least a lead testing kit or mercury kit to see if those nasty heavy metals touched it.
All hazards aside, nice find! 😃
Lucky find, looks in very good condition!
Lucky!
I have the same one by Lodge. I use it often. Lodge makes a scraper that has teeth that are a perfect fit for the raised side so you can thoroughly clean it.
Congratulations on the great find.
Looks like a Lodge! Nice find
You people that use found on the road cooking equipment are incredibly brave.
Nice! I use one of those to make fajitas on the grill.
I have that one, it’s a little heavier than my other griddle so i don’t use it as much because it takes forever to heat up. Would be great for smashburgers on the grill though so it’s now going to live out there.
