I already had an angle grinder and high temp paint so this was a bargain!

This is great, it's just not finished yet. If you have an angle grinder and grinding wheels you can easily remove the burrs and cut the neck to look intentional. Within ten minutes you can have a kettle that won't cut you on most edges. Without additional paint, the kettle will rust. There is light surface rust but it is unsightly. Seems strong enough. I'm sure it's Junk Metal, but there's a hell of a lot of it – it's HEAVY.

Pros
  • Done
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Toxic Paint on Cast Iron

An attractive jar delivered without literature filled our house with a toxic, dizzying smell of baked paint and formed a sticky coating on the lid where it pooled and a ring on the stove left. I bought it because the description indicated a blemish (don't care for us as cast iron always rusts over time) but the seller obviously fixed the imperfection with paint. We both feel ill and after a few hours the house still smells of poison (but not so much because we opened the windows on all floors).

Pros
  • In stock
Cons
  • Empty

Coarse but normal

VERY rough cast iron. Made in China, ie sharp edges on the edge, very coarse cut on the spout. Painted black, paint scraped off in a few places, but we are still planning to burn it in before use. I was considering getting a used one at an antique store, but the old ones are a lot more expensive (but much better finished) and it seemed like a good deal at $42. You get what you pay for. I think this is normal, but I was expecting a higher quality finish. I can disassemble the angle grinder and…

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • For old

Fiery stove + humidifier = must match

Perfect humidifier for my wood stove. My last cast iron pot lasted many years but eventually the bottom started to rust and water dripped onto my wood stove so it can now hold flowers outside without worrying about leaks. It looks just like my last humidifier, which is why I bought it. It's made of cast iron, so it's very heavy, and you don't have to worry about it accidentally falling on the floor. It is ideal for keeping a water-filled oven hot and watching the steam rise as the oven heats…

Pros
  • Complete set
Cons
  • Makes me nervous
