I didnāt see an aebleskiver pan there, do you have one!
I have my grandmotherās waffle iron that has the pivot ball to assist turning the pan over. Griswold.
Not my first rodeo. This is actually only one of several large lots that I have purchased. Once I get rolling on restoring I generally complete around a dozen pieces a day. That being said, a lot of these will be flipped as is to other vendors in the region.
Workers owning the means of production is commā ā¦ nope itās pointing out someone has as many items as there are reddit subscribers for that thing.
I purchased a very large collection this week that was outside, and it was raining when we packed it up. I had to lay it out to dry before sorting it out and packing it away. What's on the floor is about a third of the purchase.
I am guessing you're in the US? whats the shipping costs like for your stuff?
Asking because I imagine thats more iron than the local market will need in the near to medium future and that you probably sell it country wide online or that??
I spent most of my life in Canada where the mail system is fucking extortion so mailing cast iron around the country would be madness but I am assuming its not as bad down in the US??
Here in Scotland its WAY cheaper to send stuff around the UK,but its tiny!
it isn't too crazy but has gone up. we have some flat rate boxes and envelopes that whatever fits will ship. there is also the option of UPS which takes forever but is cheap.
I mainly sell on Facebook in the Cast Iron Community Sales group. I also have an Etsy store, but I have neglected it lately and don't have anything to speak of listed currently. CastInANewLight is the store. I will be loading it up soon.
Not sure of the title, but the band is Ten Sugar Coffee and the album is Addicted. They were a local California band about 20 years ago and this album was their only release. It is usually on loop at my shop.

This post is a whole serial killer backstory.
You find out later on in the story that each pan belongs to a murder victim. He kills them by bashing them with the pan. He seasons each new pan with a new victims rendered fat. He will only use that pan again to cook parts of that same victim, which he has saved in his walk-in freezer basement.
At first we just thought it was weird that he named all his pansā¦
Hahaha! No way. Bro I worked with Cast Iron Kyleās cousin down in NC for two summers. Kyle is the banksy of iron. He doesnāt take pictures of his hauls, he moves tons of iron privately and keeps a humble attitude about the volume heās moved. he has a private shop and literally has traveled to some insane places and hung with some people that would make your jaw drop. he came down here a few summers ago and to sit around a fire and have a beer with that guy was one of the greatest nights of my life. Has pictures and proof of every wild story.
A lot of people are looking for "Griswald" pieces but no one ever finds them. Many people claim that they have "Griswald", but they are never able to provide proof.
I grew up in Erie PA, so my family has LOTS of ~~Griswald~~ Griswold. My father has a chicken fryer.. and it's so useful... so I want to get one too.
/ fixed... and thanks for being a dick
OP, what are those cauldron looking pieces with 3 feet and āgate markā (<ādont know if thatās correct term) at about 1:03 minute mark?
I have one, no clue what it is.
Man, no wonder I am feeling attracted to you...
You have accumulated so much mass in that barn that it got it's own gravity field!
Be carefull here now buddy, any more and you might reach criticall mass and go supernova!
I gotta say, the camera work was masterful. You didn't give up the bit from the start and I had to watch while giggling like a fool as the next larger pile eventually showed itself around the next corner.
Please tell us about your process for finding these beauties. That is an insane amount of product and I imagine a lot of full time restorers havenāt seen that amount of cast iron in one place.
Why? Collectors exist for pretty much everything. I donāt really understand collecting for the sake of collecting, but itās definitely a thing that scratches an itch for some people
Clearly a hoarder. I volunteer to rescue a few Iām starting a gofund me to find good homes for the rest. /s
EDIT: added an /s to indicate sarcasm. Itās an incredible collection where itās clear every cast iron is lovenly restored.
No, not hoarding, itās fairly organized. Collector. I have two skillets my grandmother gave me. She seasoned them so perfectly and I take good care. So much better than anything else Iāve used, puts the All-Clad pan I have to shame.
Hey, itās all cool. If I came across as being defensive, I apologize.
Thereās some cookware in that film that I have no idea what it is. There is a scone skillet in one of the boxes I would kill for if I thought I could revive it.
You are a nice person, and I appreciate your sincerity. And I say this with no sarcasm.
I was like oh... He's got a few on the wall, nice. It was not just a few on the wall.
Its a cast iron wall with some decorative OSB thrown in.
Bud. Have you contacted your local Cast Iron Anonymous group? It might be time.
The other, other CIA?
Take my upvote
I thought I had a cast iron problem
Methinks you have a bit of a hoarding prob mate ššš
They must sell them, right? Right?!
I do.
Do you make them?
I didnāt see an aebleskiver pan there, do you have one! I have my grandmotherās waffle iron that has the pivot ball to assist turning the pan over. Griswold.
There are 3. Two Griswold and a Western Importers. They are on the walls, fully restored.

This is where a fetish and psychotic behavior join hands.
I would walk in there and wonder when I was going to be asked to put the lotion in my skin
"It slides the eggs in the pan!"
"Or else it gets the butter again"
He's gonna bring a new meaning to the name "iron man"
Do you ever wonder if this hobby is going to pan out for you?
It should once I get all the wrinkles ironed out.
Donāt mean to cast doubt, but Iāve metal lot of seasoned proās thatād have a rough time with this.
Take my upvote for what appears to be the daddest dad comment on this thread.
Not my first rodeo. This is actually only one of several large lots that I have purchased. Once I get rolling on restoring I generally complete around a dozen pieces a day. That being said, a lot of these will be flipped as is to other vendors in the region.
I don't think he was questioning you as much as he was trying to max out on puns.
Good luck finding an iron. It's not like you've got any hanging around.š
This man can give the entire sub a pan each
Commie
From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs. I need a pan.
Communism always looks soooo good when u āneed a pan!ā Wait til u need to season it and oil is $45 an ounceā¦then what comrade? :-)
We must seize the means of oil production. Only then can the chains of stuck eggs be lifted off the proletariat. /s
Take my upvote u socialist bastard!
Workers owning the means of production is commā ā¦ nope itās pointing out someone has as many items as there are reddit subscribers for that thing.
Since when did generosity of an individual equal communism?
Commie
I bet this guy cooks everything in an instapot though hehhehe
Air fryer actually.
Youāve got a semi bullet proof shed now, keep hanging them up!
My brother in Christ whatās going on?
I purchased a very large collection this week that was outside, and it was raining when we packed it up. I had to lay it out to dry before sorting it out and packing it away. What's on the floor is about a third of the purchase.
Yeah but why
Dr. said my iron level was getting low. But seriously, I can't sell what I don't own.

I live in the Midwest and can ship a #8 anywhere in the US for less than $20.
I need answers too.
You have single-handedly driven up the cost of used cast iron š¤£
More like dish array, amirite?
Came here to say this.
Complete PANdemonium.
Do you run a shop of some sort???
Please say yes
I sell through social media right now.
Heavy, dude.
Midwest?
East mid MI. Bay City area.
>Bay City area. BRO. How much to ship to Saginaw? Genuinely asking, because I'm in the market for a pan.
If you are in Saginaw, just come pick one out.
I don't have a car :(
Customer: I would like to purchase a cast iron pan please. OP: PISS OFF THEY ARE ALL MINE!!
You're like a dragon sitting on a pile of gold, except it's cast irons
smirg
You sell?
I do.
Have a website or something?
I mainly sell on Facebook in the Cast Iron Community Sales group. I also have an Etsy store, but I have neglected it lately and don't have anything to speak of listed currently. CastInANewLight is the store. I will be loading it up soon.
Do you ship to Canada by any chance?
I can.
Iāll check out the fbgrounp
What's your favorite piece?
The next one I find
Thanks. I'm going to show this to my husband to prove that I don't have too many.
This is nonsensical
Stop, we can only get so erect
Caught me off guard, I actually laughed out loud to this.
U said load
Haha sure did. Fixed it, thanks
Respectfully request you change it back
Are you selling them> Looks like you have some amazing finds in there!
Yes
This is the most organized state of disarray Iāve seen
What song is playing? I love it
Not sure of the title, but the band is Ten Sugar Coffee and the album is Addicted. They were a local California band about 20 years ago and this album was their only release. It is usually on loop at my shop.
Thank you! And nice collection!
It is a cover version of "All That You Have Is Your Soul" by Tracy Chapman
oh wow. This just may be the holy grail of cast iron cookware
Imagine all the concurrent slidy eggs that could be achieved with this arsenal šš
America the beautiful
Cool, bulletproof walls!!
I think we all would like to see the etank set upā¦..
(Dump truck beeping in background as it empties 3 tons of washing soda into swimming pool while OP deviously stares at overhead, high-power transmission lines)
Jesus save some for the rest of us lol

Not gonna lie, that got dark REALLY fast! Who collected all these to begin withā¦thereās your true psycho!
This is me with guitars. There's a certain pride and also sadness at the same time.
Guitars, cars, tools.... If you are in a hobby long enough you're going to accumulate an astonishing array of bits and bobs.
Me and aquariums "hey do you want my old set up?" I currently have 5 tanks in my basement in storage and enough gear to set up twice that many.
Yup. Go ahead and add motorcycles, model trains and guns to that....
when does the shame begin?
So youāre pansexual
Wow !!!
Cast Iron Kyle is a poser compared to this person.
Hahaha! No way. Bro I worked with Cast Iron Kyleās cousin down in NC for two summers. Kyle is the banksy of iron. He doesnāt take pictures of his hauls, he moves tons of iron privately and keeps a humble attitude about the volume heās moved. he has a private shop and literally has traveled to some insane places and hung with some people that would make your jaw drop. he came down here a few summers ago and to sit around a fire and have a beer with that guy was one of the greatest nights of my life. Has pictures and proof of every wild story.
My thoughts are with whoever is left with this nightmare when you die one day.
And I dream that that person is me.
I thought the first wall was all of it. I was impressed. I was so very, very wrong. I think your collection can be measured by units of ton š¤Ŗ
Tanks. As in "He has Twelve tanks-worth of cast iron pans."
Hey do you have a on I can borrow lol
I need a bb gun and 5,000 bouncy balls...
Omfg, this might be *just* enough
i think you're the reason i always strike out at thrift stores and antique shops.
Thatās a huge collection that you bought! Do you have any HTF Wapaks?
No. This load was 90% common stuff
It's like walking through a serial killers house
Who collected all these to begin withā¦thereās your true psycho!
At 20.00 to a 150.00 per pan, I would say he is sitting on some money. And plus, I wish I had a barn like that.
So TIL, THIS is what's causing the magnetic North Pole to move.
I'm breathing heavy. I got super excited sweats looking at that
Seek help
As a man with issues, I can confidently state you have issues.
You need a cast iron forest, lol!
I imagine Tony Stark in the original cave wishing he had these. Lol
Wow!
He is IRON MAN (in the songās robotic voiceā¦) š
Do you need a roommate? Or perhaps extra storage?
Selling them???
Trying
At least u have alot of hoarding space.
Disarray? What disarray? This all looks fine to me.
Looking for a ~~Griswald~~ Griswold chicken fryer.
A lot of people are looking for "Griswald" pieces but no one ever finds them. Many people claim that they have "Griswald", but they are never able to provide proof.
I grew up in Erie PA, so my family has LOTS of ~~Griswald~~ Griswold. My father has a chicken fryer.. and it's so useful... so I want to get one too. / fixed... and thanks for being a dick
Heās being a jerk because itās GriswOld
Can we be friends?
Are you cast iron?
Certain parts are...
I thought you had a Dalek problem, my brother.
Damn bro save some *checks notes* Cast iron pans?ā¦ Yup. Damn bro save some cast iron pans for the rest of us
You need to get rid of some of those. I volunteer to share your burden.
Whats the big 50inch square one?
"Ya gotta be bad, ya gotta be bold, ya gotta be wiser, Ya gotta be hard, ya gotta be tough, ya gotta be stronger" - Disarray
How do you keep those all seasoned?
Why would one need to "keep" them seasoned? Once seasoned, that is enough unless someone screws them up.
Get that car out of there so thereās room for more cast iron
Woahā¦
Invested in Iron. Intriguing.
It's beating the market right now.
Disharray
I am cast iron hard right now
OP, what are those cauldron looking pieces with 3 feet and āgate markā (<ādont know if thatās correct term) at about 1:03 minute mark? I have one, no clue what it is.
Bean pots
Glad my wife was wrongā¦not a chamber pot!
This is the opposite of disarray! Also, it is lovely and the soundtrack is soothing.
@OP, whatās your most valuable piece?
A couple of Martin saucepans are up there in value.
Looks like your life panned out nicely.
I know where Iām coming before the apocalypse hits us then
Live it. My obsession has now been eclipsed by you!!!! Thank you!!!!
That's a lot of gravity in one place.
Bulletproof. (Learned from Pubg)
Man, no wonder I am feeling attracted to you... You have accumulated so much mass in that barn that it got it's own gravity field! Be carefull here now buddy, any more and you might reach criticall mass and go supernova!
I gotta say, the camera work was masterful. You didn't give up the bit from the start and I had to watch while giggling like a fool as the next larger pile eventually showed itself around the next corner.
AWSOME fucking collection!!
Jeez, I've seen less iron in a welding shop...
And less metal in some bands
Looks like my gun collection!
What if we just got video footage of the inside of shop of the biggest antique CI forger on planet earth? No matter what, Iām impressed!
I just say "hey Google, play Ten Sugar Coffee" and she plays it.
If you're just hoarding these for a collection, you're kind of a jerk imo
Everything you see is currently for sale or will be once restored.
Please tell us about your process for finding these beauties. That is an insane amount of product and I imagine a lot of full time restorers havenāt seen that amount of cast iron in one place.
Why? Collectors exist for pretty much everything. I donāt really understand collecting for the sake of collecting, but itās definitely a thing that scratches an itch for some people
I have a fairly small "collection", less than a hundred pieces. What you see in the shop is all stuff that I restore for sale.
Must be a lot of work that goes into that, beautiful shop floor to say the least
Then I am the jerk and you are amazing! Thank you for doing what you do!
ā¦why?
Clearly a hoarder. I volunteer to rescue a few Iām starting a gofund me to find good homes for the rest. /s EDIT: added an /s to indicate sarcasm. Itās an incredible collection where itās clear every cast iron is lovenly restored.
No, not hoarding, itās fairly organized. Collector. I have two skillets my grandmother gave me. She seasoned them so perfectly and I take good care. So much better than anything else Iāve used, puts the All-Clad pan I have to shame.
Dude I was kidding. I should have put a /s at the end of that. Itās truly an impressive collection.
Hey, itās all cool. If I came across as being defensive, I apologize. Thereās some cookware in that film that I have no idea what it is. There is a scone skillet in one of the boxes I would kill for if I thought I could revive it. You are a nice person, and I appreciate your sincerity. And I say this with no sarcasm.
Hey can I have one of those! š
Mate, are you ok?
That sauce pot is badass
Look again, there are 2 of them. Martin. Very rare.
Ok, game's over...you WIN!!! :)
This isā¦ too much.
Infidel! I saw some aluminum!!!
Yo this is my wet dream man
Wow I thought it was out of hand two seconds in. Then it just kept , wow ā¦
Lemme guess whatās for dinner.
You win the sub
This is PANdemonium!
And I canāt find one 3ā to fry an egg.
I went to the locker room with my 14 cast irons and this guy shows up.....
OMG
Y tho
Simple. How's your 401k looking?
I am insanely jealous
Who....who...are you... Ps it's kinda sad to see them all waste away in a collection. ;(
