I love my Wagner items. My son does too.. I'm thinking about giving him my set as a wedding present, so I'll have to start looking at another line to collect.. Ether Griswold EPU, or the older Wagners with the heat rings. My son is 13 now, so I have a few years to collect.
What a great gift.
The Wagner's with the heat rings are the best, imo. I think I have five or six pieces with the heat ring, but anyway, I think they cook a lot more evenly because the heat ring holds it up just a bit.
According to my late grandmother, however, she swore up and down that the heat ring was called a smoke ring back then. When they would cook on a wood burning stove, the heat ring would seal against the stove in order to help minimize a lot of wood smoke entering the kitchen.
To this day, I can picture her cooking with her cast iron on this old, clunky stove with this big nasty bucket of lard with a wooden spoon sticking out. Despite the lard, she lived to be 96. :)
