First time, I read that as thirty-one pounds. I was going to ask for
photos of your biceps after you'd used these for a year.

If you really want more Cast iron the best sources in order of success are:

Estate Sales
Garage sales
Good Will Stores.

Yep I keep my eyes open and ride by a few good estate/garage sales
from time to time whilst on my bicycle. GW and SA are my stores of
choice, most of the time. Another good option are "ReStores" sponsored
by Habitat for Humanity (check the website for locations). "Farm and
Fleet" is another good store with very good prices too, as is "Big R"
(farm and ranch supply stores). Thanks <G>.

Sky, who can rarely pass a good bargain

Happy to help last year I gave 8 duplicates I had to my daughters.

Most of the time I use a Griswold 8 that rarely gets put away.
