Honestly, all our cast iron is great for grilling. That said, a few earn their spot on the grill more than others.

• The No.8 is the everyday workhorse—sear a steak, a couple of chicken breasts, a batch of veggies.
• The larger No.10 and No.12 are the moves when you're feeding a crowd.
• The Long Griddle is built for high-volume flat cooking on the grill—pancakes at the campsite, smash burgers for growd, or a row of fish fillets.
• The No.16 turns a kettle grill into an outdoor oven with a huge searing surface for batch cooking with the lid down

Yes—both! Cast iron has been a tool for cooking over flame for centuries. Grilling with cast iron gives you a better sear than the grates alone, keeps drippings in the pan instead of falling through, and works just as well on charcoal, gas, or open flame.

Yes. The same skillet that lives on your stove handles a fire pit, a community park grill, or a campsite grate without issue. There's no rubber, plastic, or coating to worry about—it's a single piece of American cast iron designed for live fire. More ideas: cast iron recipes for camping.

Because cast iron does its best work when it makes full contact with your food. Grill marks are aesthetic, not flavor. A flat surface gives you a full-surface Maillard sear—better browning, better crust, better flavor. Read more on why we think grill marks are B.S.

Metallurgically, cast iron isn’t affected until temperatures above 1500F which means you can use our pans in a 950F pizza oven, and in fact we encourage it! Cast iron is great for pizza.

However, a pan can be warped by sudden temperature shocks, so avoid dousing a hot pan with cold water, or throwing a cold pan into a raging fire (we recommend preheating first).

Longer times at super high temps can start to burn off your seasoning, but just keeping cooking and your seasoning will build back up.

Field cast iron is lighter and smoother than the cast iron most people are familiar with—closer to vintage Griswold and Wagner pans from the early 1900s than to the rough, heavy pans on most shelves today. Easier to lift, easier to cook on, easier to clean, easier to love.
