I took a drive 3km up the road and this is what we typically find litterally everywhere in south Africa..
Note the price for the Big number 3 pot in rands... (and this is a retail price here, not even whole sale) at current exchange rate, that's 40 usd for the big number 3.

That’s a deal for sure
hmmm it is a decent price generally speaking for here... Just reading other threads, and I find it hard to believe that they very costly and not easy to get in the states.. Very odd to me when most supermarkets here even have them.Quote:

One hell of a deal, But I get most of mine from the farmers market. Except for the largest ones - they are now hard to find. (Used for making soap or jams)
by the way combine those with this and everything but baking will be a breeze with a twig fire,

We can get cast iron at reasonable prices, but a lot of people turn their noses up at it, because it's "Made in China". (American made cast iron is about 3 times the cost of Chinese.)

(The stuff in the link is Chinese made.)
I love every piece of cast iron I have. I have more than I need. I will probably get more.
I think its a sickness, and one that I am not looking for a cure.
Let's not discuss...."cast iron" sickness.Quote:

#1 wife has her grandmother's skillet. She uses it ONLY for making cornbread. The inside of the skillet is perfectly smooth and nothing sticks to it. When done, she wipes it out with a damp dishtowel, dries it in the oven or on the stove, and puts it away.
I've got more cast iron that I can carry in a wheelbarrow. I don't have one of those pots though. There's always gonna be one more thing.

We do not use rocket stoves either.. For most intents and purposes when People actually camp here we use what We call a skottel braai ( I have not a clue what the english term is for it)
But basically a gas barbeque, with a wok type thing/ or other cooking attachments..

But 99% of the time we will just Braai actually...

I traded for a homemade skottle at my last camp. Got to use it and fell in love with it. I'll get some pictures of it eventually.
