In my opinion, it doesn’t get much better.

The pans were made by Griswold, they are their Iron Mountain series. Manufactured between the mid 30s and mid 40s they were a less expensive alternative to the marked Griswolds. I have a set of four.

The griddle is a newer, 30 or 40 year old, Lodge. It’s not the same quality as the iron Mountain series but it gets the job done.

My granddaughter and I just came back from running the line. This is our trapper’s breakfast before we hit the fur shed.

Dippy eggs, toast and venison scrapple with homemade apple butter for me. A stack of pancakes and scrapple with maple syrup on everything for my granddaughter.

Venison Scrapple? Sounds delicious. You put any organ meat in it?

Good looking food. That stove looks pretty old too, I like it. There's something cool about vintage appliances, they're like mechanical artwork.

Looks like some good eats.
Cooking like that is what I knew growing up. Cast iron on LP gas stove. I even have two of moms pans in my pile cast iron cookware.

I put hearts and livers in it Danny. Here is a link to a Tman tutorial on how I make it.

I couldn't agree more. The Griswold Iron Mountain cookware pieces are a favorite of mine to use and cooking with them on a gas stove is tough to beat. Those vittles are looking awfully darn good!!

The "harvest gold" color is a giveaway. LOL

It is about sixty years old. It still has standing pilot lights, something the government outlawed for residential use decades ago. I love that stove! My wife, not so much. I tell her I'll replace it with a modern stove when it dies (likely never happen).

I do want to take it to my cabin to replace the electric stove up there, I hate cooking with electric. So she might get her wish after all.

I got to tell you Lug, that scrapple tutorial always makes me smile. That yellow lab photo bombing every picture cracks me up ……

I have a couple things I wanna try with coals on the top. My business co-owner uses one and says I'd be amazed that coals on top cook better than I'd think.

That looks awesome Lug and I forgot to PM you. I'll watch the tutorial again as I was wondering if you added buckwheat to your scrapple. Here's some chicken in my 50's #14 Lodge. Nothing better then cast iron!

I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

I can't answer for Lug, but we use a third Buckwheat in our flour for scrapple.

3 parts corn meal, 2 parts flour and 1 part buckwheat flour.

Thanks hippie! When I looked at the pic I posted it looks like a small skillet with wings lol. Those are full size drumsticks. Here's a pic of the #14 with a #9 sitting in it.

That’s a bigun Catch!

I don’t know if I say it in the tutorial or not but I use equal parts dark buckwheat flour and roasted cornmeal in my scrapple.


Eh...wot?

Thanks Lug. I bought everything to make a small batch, maybe 6 loaves but I ate half of it lol and need to go get more organ meat.

Apple cobbler out of a Dutch oven over an open fire is one of the best desserts I’ve ever had.
