Lodge is good...if you can't find Griswold. Griswold hasn't made anything for the last 50 years but there's plenty of it still out there if you look for it. I had a couple of pieces of it when I was offered a 20 piece collection of it for $400.00. I kept what I didn't have or want and sold the rest of it for what I paid. Griswold is a little lighter and seems to cook more evenly. When looking around flea markets and yard sales don't let the rust scare you off as long as there are no cracks. Put them in the dishwasher, even if they aren't rusted, and then re-season them. Scrub the rust off with a scouring pad and wipe dry. Coat them with cooking oil and put them in a hot oven. After they cool, wipe them down and do this a couple of more times. After you do this start using them. When you get through cooking rinse them off with cold water and wipe them out with a cooking oil soaked rag. Don't scour them or put them in a dishwasher after you've cured them. There are a lot of rusty old skillets out there that can be rescued and used.
