Lodge Combo

I don't know how many are familiar with this piece of iron, but it has some great qualities for RV'ers.
The lid is flat on it and it has a piece to lock it on and keep it from sliding. The advantage it that it is not only a lid, but a griddle and because it is flat coals will stay on it. If you don't need for the lid to seal you can turn it over for even more coal security.
With what you can do with the lid, you can basically have a DO with out legs and use it on a grill, stove or a bed of coals. It's also deep enough to deep fry in. I carry a lid rack with ours to allow me to set it over briquettes without smothering them.
It's fairly inexpensive as CI goes, and cheap compared to outdoor DO's.

  • I had just put this on my list for my next trip to Lehman's. Surprised to see the topic right after thinking about this. I have plenty of cast iron in the house, but thought I would get this to go with my 12 inch Dutch oven. Should be able to whip up anything we might need with those items.

    It looks handy in so many ways. I had gotten my daughter a set, since she had no other cast iron and she uses it to bake no knead bread, in addition to every thing else. terry r.
  • We have several Lodge pieces both for the RV and house. I use the skillet most often for making Panko Salmon, a recipe from The Barefoot Contessa. One skillet, an easy recipe, makes an awesome meal.
  • I have two of them - I use them for pineapple upside down cake among other DO wonders. The lid makes it very easy to flip the cake.
  • It fits perfectly in my Volcano grill. Volcano grill. Add the Volcano Lid and it's a great slow cooker or oven. In fact, I just noticed that the Volcano grill in the pic on my post ID.
  • Just bought one at the Lodge outlet in Sevierville last week. It it was on the "seconds" shelf and only had a couple of dimples on the bottom, not affecting the cooking surface at all. There was no way I could have left that store empty handed!
  • We have two. One stays in the mh and the other stays in the house. Love it.
