what a smart little book, I like that you continue reading from it and explain and sharing your thoughts
Salt is good abrasive to use for general cleaning. I use canola oil to season. After a restore like this, I season/cool, season/cool about 3 or 4 times then store. Nice job on a rare piece. I restored one 10 years ago and gave it to my daughter 2 years ago when she got her first apartment. She has the CI bug now too and is building her collection. I have 7 Dutchovens and many fry pans & griddles. Nothing cooks like well seasoned & cared for CI.
Exactly, when i was a chef in a 5* restaurant, we always used this method. You don’t want a metal brush wire somewhere. Great advise! ;)
Mark Farmer ok, so what do you do? When I was stationed in Florida, the Boy Scouts were taught to use sand. It actually well for a light cleaning, just like scrubbing a small amount of salt. Don't just say "wrong", please give other advice.
Mark Farmer im interested in what is your method lol, even brand new cast iron skillet include instruction on seasoning it. And its not yours apparently 🤨 there is a difference between metallurgy and cooking ; in the restaurant industry, any dangerous product that it’s safe for human can’t be used, even steel wool is prohibited. Since you can’t put cast iron in a dishwasher to sterilize it, cast iron and and blue steel pan are cleaned with coarse salt and oil, and oiled with vegetable oil after each use.
I have an electromechanical degree, and a degree in cooking. And now a cabinet making degree , i know metal and i know cooking industry and laws
WOW Mark Farmer, a whole 3-1/2 years, you obviously are the most knowledgeable person on cast iron. Maybe we all can get together, so we could take your picture and you could sign our cast iron pans.
😂🤣😂🤣
Love this video. I've just used my 70 year old taylor forbes waffle iron for the second time after seasoning it. I have the wooden handles that were in perfect shape and was able to unswrew them with little trouble and do at least 5 seasonings in the oven with cold pressed flax seed oil. Only second time using it and my guests were amazed. And you were very dead on with the hand shake and I experience it all the time when some one will try too dominate the shake or straight up crush your hand. Im a drywaller/ taper and surprise the hell out of them when I return the favor. Love your channel and your family, keep up the good work. And please give a prayer to the firefighters and pilots fighting the shitstorm (pardon my language) up here in B.C.
Completely different guy than today’s Wranglerstar. This guys definitely a lot more chill
Cody, lots of people commenting that don't understand the science behind seasoning CI. Some oils/fats work better than others but any will work as long as you heat it past its particular smoke point. You have to polymerize the oil. It will take on properties closer to plastic than oil. That's what seasoning is, polymerized oil. I use electrolysis to strip my iron. It takes care of rust and old seasoning. Gets it back to bare iron. An etank is easy and cheap to set up. Works for tools and such too.
Keep up the videos!
I actually have the flu right now, and this couldn't have been more accurate. I'm a big baby when I'm sick, but just as Mrs. W, my wife will power through and keep up with house work and watching after our kids when she is sick. Thanks for your awesome videos Cody!
im not sick or injured very often but when i am i get very infuriated at myself for not being able to do anything
Limp fish handshakes. Ugh. Makes a shiver go up and down my spine. Truly a pet peeve. Have to double check I had a hand and not a dishrag or something.
about 45 years ago. my mother gifted me with her mother's Wagner cast iron pan. It may well have even been her mothers pan. It was crusted with grease from decades of use. I put it through a couple of cycles in my self cleaning oven. Ultimately it looked like a brand new piece of cast iron. I seasoned it then and have never washed it with soap since. It's as good as teflon and works fantastic on our Induction cook top.
I did a little research and found that the pan I have was likely manufactured between 1895 and 1915.
I am a 12 year old that loves the old ways of doing things and I love manly manners to teach me how to be a better man when I grow up and I have been watching you for a year now
I was just wondering how to restore my wife’s cast iron pan! Perfect timing! It’s been a while for manly manners... I really enjoy them!
Doug D-Bo
Just remember, if you wouldn't eat it don't use it on your iron.
Good point!
I love items like this. Three parts, simple to use, easy enough to clean. Let's not over-complicate something as important as waffles.
I have 3 of them,and I'm also from Erie,Pennsylvania.My dad was a griswold collector, and I got all of his cast iron griswold collection
Manly Manners, one of my favorite Wranglerstar video topics.
All though I like Manly Manners I'm glad Mr. Wranglerstar only reads one every couple of months. The book is so small it helps make the it last.
Manly Manners. A favorite of mine for many years. Love your philosophy!
Man, I love this channel. I really like the manly manners in the end. The one about posture was really enjoyable.
just found your channel. LOVE it (coming from a middle aged, midwestern, suburban woman. I guess your broad appeal is evidenced by your multi-million following.
Totally agree on the 'limp fish' - or 'dead fish' as I call it - handshake.
I have always impressed upon my children (including 2 daughters) that, when you shake hands with someone, do it with sincerity and use a firm, but not overly so, grip.
I hope we get to see autumnal content and winter content. Especially with that waffle iron. I enjoy those types of videos. Manly Manners by a fire and or oil lamp and a stoneware mug with a black jolt of coffee would be spectacular. In autumn leaves or snowfall in the woods.
My mother told me to keep my posture upright and it took well.
Handshakes, make your hand firm and stiff and stand close and look in the eyes.
Cody I started watching your videos a few years ago and I must say I love your channel. However in the last six months to a year I have been growing away from your channel because the titles were misleading but I must say thanks for going back to making honest videos that help young men like me be able to help around the house while my dad has to work. Thanks
Keep the Manly Manners coming,
I came across a Wagner cast iron waffle maker made in 1910. It’s very similar to the one in your video. That thing makes the best damn waffles and I can take it with us when we go camping because it doesn’t need to be plugged in!
Our ancestors were so much smarter than us.
I think it's a show of respect when someone makes the effort to stand up straight, look people in the eye when you're communicating, giving your full attention, and lifting your feet when you walk, firm handshake. Maybe it's because my father was a Marine, but I have just always felt that a person is giving me their best when they make a physical effort in these things.
I'm glad you have succeeded with this youtube malarkey. Well deserved.
I would use an oil with a higher smoke point to season cast iron. Sunflower, flax seed, grape seed, etc. You also tend to get a stickier surface with olive oil unless you are very careful to use very thin coats.
I Like the manly manners... anyone else notice that after Cody read the upright and shoulders back he sat a little more upright. shoulders a little more back.. LOL love it taking our own advice.. great job
Guilty as charged,
Had the vibe from your older videos. Was great to watch :)
Love the manly manners. Please keep them coming :-)
love reading along with manly manners. How do you read that small print without glasses? Is it carrots?
Keep doing the manly manners
Yes please!
The posture and eye contact thing is legit. The amount of times walking/standing like described has genuinely stopped bad situations happening is crazy. Those groups of young guys who think they can own a street, will ALL look away if you just walk tall and maintain non-threatening eye contact.
My ag teacher in high school made us line up and practice handshaking. In his eyes there was nothing worse than a bad handshake. Seemed like a waste of time to me. I’m thankful now that he did that. Just one small part but pretty important in my eyes.
I love your videos a ton! Keep doing videos as the youngins could really learn a thing or two from you. I actually am getting my son hooked on your videos because you have so much knowledge to give. I sat and listened to my grandfather and I learned a lot but his expertise was in boats and boat building. I am always looking to learn new things and you provide videos that one can learn a lot from. I actually am going to be starting my own woodworking business and watching some of your woodworking videos is inspiring. You are an amazing person with a genuine spirit and I love watching your videos. Thank you for taking the time to publish these.
Nice looking waffle maker ! Thanks Cody !
Check out Kent Rollins channel he has some great videos on cast iron
That is one rare piece u have there, you can't find regular griswald pans to have a griswald waffle maker intact is amazing that is one you don't want to let go
Anything with stamped or cast "Made in USA" on it means it was made in or after the late 1960`s, so not really that rare... Unless >50 yrs old is classed as rare
DougMotorhead ok can u tell me where I can get one then cause I would love to have one I go to flea markets allover the country and haven't seen of those you barely find griswald
@ DougMotorhead, "Rare" and Antique" have different meaning! Although the "Made In The USA" stamp occurs after the 1960's and may indeed mean that the item is not an antique, it has no bearing on the rarity of the Item. The "Griswald" brand of Cast Iron is very highly sought after and sells very quickly. People tend to hoard or hang onto the Griswald brand! Some of the patterns produced by Griswald, were produced in relatively low numbers, So, some post-1960's Griswald is indeed rare! Cheers!
great minds think alike :) I would love to see Cody, Kent, and Phil Robertson get together to do a video :). Phil blasts it, Kent cooks it, and Cody sets up the camp and is host :)
Griswold cast iron is all over the place here in central Pennsylvania, We're always seeing full range of pan sizes, muffin, cornbread(corn shaped), waffle irons, mailboxes, etc.... yard sales, antique stores, flea markets.
Love the videos and manly manners I have my grandmother's cast iron skillet set and I love seeing cast iron stuff keep up the great work and as a 23 year old man in today's world I was tbault the old ways of conducting myself keep up the great work and God bless
hi from Canada, love your work,
Manly manners is great, I'm 19 and I like to set an example to millennials, and its surprising how much that book can make you aware of actions others do and have more self awareness.
Crazy how many cast iron videos I’ve seen lately, but I love it. That is one rear piece you have there. I prefer the oven as it gives a longer lasting seasoning, but stove top works as well. Just make sure you go through enough heat and cooling cycles. You need to make sure the oil is polymerized and carbonized on the surface. Keep up the great work, love the videos!
I really appreciate the Manly Manners. I especially like the times when you and Mrs. W sit and reflect upon the vintage wisdom.
I'm a man and total agree about women being tough and having high motivation. My wife looks after the kids most days and when she's not she's working 12 hour shifts being a nurse and she never seems lethargic. Thanks for the great videos
Love cooking with cast iron. Great video.
Love these old pans, so cool.
Cody that is a treasured Griswald.
You are not alone Cody, I'm the same way when I'm sick.
a proper solution to the "don't stoop" manly manners entry is to work you your back shoulder muslces. I used to stoop all of my childhood and well into college, until i started working out regularly. I would try to fix my posture but my muscles weren't strong enough to constantly hold my shoulders up (mostly because I have a desk job, and a sedentary life style).
But when i started working out, my back muscles naturally strengthened and tightened and literally pulled my shoulders into place. I would recommend the "Face Pulls" workout.
I had also noticed that my confidence improved when my posture improved, so you don't have to get confidence first and then fix your posture, fix your posture and your confidence will follow.
very nice spot! beautifull light great illumination. Really nice to watch. Love the dont´s! Agree with the posture is overlooked and really important!
Cast Iron, King of great country cooking!!! Thanks for the heads up on care and seasoning of cast iron.
I like the manly manners ! Hey Bro , spray oil is good for seasoning , and getting into nooks and crannys!
Also different oils have different flash points , a professional bbq cleaner guy once guided me to use canola oil because it can be heated a lot befor burning , a handy tip I've used ! :) peace from Australia !
Great video, and perfect timing for me, I’m just getting into cast iron! Keep up the good work!
Very nice! I'm going to go make waffles now while maintaining a good posture.
I'd like to, but the counters are to darn low...
Tenspeed TheBikeHanger , No problem, the easy fix is just lower the floors.
A fine salt helps cure a piece of cast iron. Helps fill in ruff places and bonds with the oil giving it smooth surface. I started doing that a few years ago it works great. The other thing when I restore stuff is use a high temperature oils as I cure.
Enjoyed it. I noticed that the background looked rather smokey. From all those fires out there I suppose. Probably coming up from California also. I enjoy your channel very much. Keep 'em coming!
Thumbs up. Thank you for a title that describes the video. I like thus type of video that gives useful information hat is easy to understand.
Griswold cast iron cookware is very collectable. My wife has two Griswold frying pans and an original Wagner frying pan. She uses them on our glass top electric range. We love them. I have a modern collection of American Made (South Pittsburg, TN) Lodge cast iron I use on my grill and fire pit. We've started giving it as wedding gifts to keep the tradition going. Great video Brother! That waffle iron is a great find. Enjoy
Hey Cody I had been away for a little while so I catching up. I just acquired a cast iron corn bread skillet in need of some serious TLC. Came across this video, great out come on your project but I do believe the manly manners was by far my favorite part. Please keep it up Sir. I tell every young man "You look a man in his eye and shake his hand with a firm grip"
Nice job, restoring a classic. We love our Griswold! Once you find the right temperature, they make the best waffles ever.
A man's posture is his first impression to the world
Awesome Video!! Great job Cody!
I'll have to make sure I file this one in case I come across some old cast iron worth keeping. Always love the manly manners. They seem like they're timeless. The one about standing up straight will serve men AND women well in later years when we tend to start naturally stooping. Keeping the back strong and standing up straight is always a good idea. 🙂
Is that cradle that the pan sits In designed to lay over a fire? I have been trying to find one of these for years and I haven’t been able to. The modern versions of these leave a lot to be desired. Thanks for posting.
Great video! I've lived in western Pennsylvania my entire life - even 10 years spent in Erie at one point and had never heard of this company. I'm on a mission to pick up a few now.
LOVING THE BACK DROP! I'VE DONE A FEW VIDS ON THESE OLD CAST IRON GOODIES...I LOVE THEM TOO! WE COOK ALMOST ENTIRELY WITH CAST IRON...INTERESTING FACT: BEFORE THE USE OF ALUMINUM AND STAINLESS POTS AND PANS...THERE WERE NO DOCUMENTED CASES OF IRON DEFICIENCY ANEMIA IN THE US
STOP SHOUTING. IVE GOT A HANGOVER
I had an iron deficiency and they recommended a thing called an “Iron Fish.” Basically a hunk of iron that you put in your food while you cook it. Long story short is I’ve cooked with cast iron pans and Dutch ovens ever since, and have never had a problem.
Great advice with the manly manners. Your family is lucky to have you.
You have a true GEM!
Love the MM. I also take that last reading to also apply to position and status, in addition to your interpretation of posture. Don’t think that you are less than or of lower stature because of your job. Your position may not be glamorous or newsworthy but stand proud of your abilities and face the world with confidence.
Hi great video, you should try using naval jelly for getting rid of the rust it's the best I've ever used
I really do truely enjoy your restoration videos. Those and your woodworking. Love all your content but these are my favorite. I never know what unique tool/appliance you will have next. I learn something new every video i watch and i thank you for that.
I came here for the Cast iron and got hit with manly manners. Love it! Subscribed just because of that. Keep it up.
That is cool! My only concern is that they say that vinegar rusts metal, but no body besides you has said that it removes it. Off the subject, what kind of dual sport dirt bike is that?
I always enjoy and appreciate the manly manners!! They’re so important. I have to buy that book. A proper handshake is so important for men. I cannot stress that enough. There was a young guy, earlier 20’s, that gave everyone the death grip at church. He even did it to women in their 70’s and 80’s. It was just wrong. It’s fortunate he never hurt anyone. He did that to me and I gave it right back, which he didn’t enjoy. Bottom line, it’s important to be considerate of others.
I love these and when you do them with Mrs. W. They are fun, funny, and educational all rolled up into one.
Any suggestions on a cast iron teapot really like the book at the end its a good reminder how a man an old be
You got the Cadillac of irons. Griswold is one of the best. Brass will deposit back on to the cast. Evaporust can pull the carbon out of steel if left for a long time. (Days) Electrolysis is probably, the cheapest, and gets it clean, can take a while.
Very good. Thank you.
Griswald is very valuable and highly sought after.
David Johnson yes, he should sell that and buy a Lamborghini with half the money.
I got a Lodge brand. It seems low cost & easy to find. I saw several pieces at my local Bass Pro Shop & other major stores.
My great great grandfather started that company and my family cooks all on Griswold cast iron
I have always been taught to season cast iron with a high temp cooking oil like peanut oil or sesame oil. I guess olive is ok...just a bit lower smoke point.
What if you have family members with severe nut allergies?
ChicagoTRS I like Canola oil to season. I'll cook with olive oil, but season with canola. Done that for 20 years, works wonders and zero risk of going rancid.
@@wranglerstar from what I have read we should really be looking at two different oil types for cast iron.
For initial seasoning/repair we should be using a Drying Oil (linseed, tung, poppy seed, walnut) to create that polymerization reaction which leaves behind the tough layer.
The second oil type, non-drying (olive, canola, vegetable, peanut, etc) should be used for maintenance after each use to fill in the pores of the polymer from the drying oil.
The whole thing is quite similar to bluing on fire arms. The initial bluing provides the tough layer that adheres to the metal. But that layer is porus and requires maintenance applications of products like Balistol or other light oils to fill in the holes.
A note on linseed oil (or really any drying oil) ... DO NOT use boiled linseed oil due to the metallic dryers added to speed up the oxidation process.
USE regular linseed that has not had anything added.
Wranglerstar Does nobody else use lard? I have always used lard or bacon grease. Also have been a huge fan of evaporust, stuff works amazing!
Thank you so much cody!!!!
0000 steel wool works well without scratching too much. Great project, looks great Cody. Ray, Oklahoma
I enjoyed the manly manners so much that we started giving the do and don'ts as a set to newlyweds!
I inherited a book from the Victorian era called ‘Our Deportment ‘ it’s a fascinating read
Love the manly manners and couldnt agree more about the posture. I have learned doing rather intens athletics training that body posture is verry important and can prevent injuries later in life. Especially for tall man. I am 6'3" and proud of it so I walk tall, head up high, shoulders back. I have a coworker who is at least 6"7" and who always walks slumped. Greating him I almost never feel like he is taller than me. I work as a landscaper gardner, wich can be rather intense physical labour. I have had several compliments from my dokter when I had a physical checkup, that my posture has helped prevent back and other problems.
And like you mentioned, besides the physical side, maintaining a good posture helps you feel better about your self and gives you confidence.
Hey wrangle star. A little off topic here but i don't see that you have any videos on the Prandi hatchet. I'm interested in buying it but don't know much about it. Do you mind helping me out a bit by telling me what you think of this little hatchet? Thank you
yes i know its an old concept but please read this i beg you ! so from that ram pump video i saw it about a year in a half ago and i was tempting to make it but didnt have the time or aither the money so im saying it now that im going to try to make it this year or next year but the whole reason why im telling you this is because you made me wanna do it of course ive got stuff to save money up for but just because of you i will make one because itll be useful to me and my grandmother for garden (note: im going to use rain water or river water for the flow ) Thank you !
I thought people stopped doing that handshake dominance thing after high school. I think I would end up laughing hysterically if someone my age did that.
Seriously love the manly manners and just the general man advice you give. Growing up a millennial it's so easy to fall into the groove of giving a limp fish handshake in fear of hurting someone not ready for it and to not walk with confidence. It's something Iv really been working on and definitely helpful to have someone a little bit older to almost role model it in a way that's not overpowering is awesome. Thank you cody for being the man we need today and for teaching us the proper ways.
Loved the manly manners. Could watch an entire hour of it. I"m often told that I walk around with my chest out and have received compliments about it. Yet there is a fine line between confidence and cockyness. But you are so right. It changes the way you think and the way you see the world. One of the best things a young man, like myself, can do is to be confident. It goes a long way.
That moment when your comment gets a like and is highlighted by mr.W 2min after it is posted. Just goes to show. He really does read his comments and thus creating a community. So many other youtubers cant give a damn what goes on in the comments. #mrW2020
Boss of the swamp has these too. Waffles look so good from them. Put some fresh apples or strawberries on top with whipped cream.
Score on the Griswald!! Nice!
I use dark molasses ( the stuff for cattle is fine) diluted in water. It should be a easy pouring liquid. It is very gentle and takes a long time, (days) depends on the thickness of the rust.
The molasses leaves a very nice finish.
Automotive restorers use this as it is slow and does leave time for you to see how your large parts such as fenders are progressing.
You do not have to worry that your piece will disintegrate if you are not prompt about removing the object.
Coconut oil or Avocado oil is what I use to season my cast iron pans. Avocado oil has the highest heat resistance. it is best for this purpose.
All Vegetable (Soya Ect.) oils form hydrogenated fats at much lower temperatures and go rancid quickly
Never knew that about shaking hands. Thank you. Always great content here.
Great job on the waffle maker. What great piece to have. I like the Manly Manners a lot, keep doing them.
A friend of mine does sand blasting as a job (nasty job to have) and he has cleaned loads of cast iron stuff without a problem - no pitting at all. In fact, he has showed me stuff that looked brand new - you could see your face in it.
I have to ask, where did you get that little table stove? It looks quite handy.

I love your videos Mr. Wranglerstar! They are so educational and great to watch!
Nice vid. What kind of gloves were those you had on?
Great video 👍 With all the recent wildfires in the Pacific Northwest. Could you please do a video or video series of specific items to impalamant in an fire emergency. House, B.O.B. & Vehicles. Thanks for all your hard work making these videos!
Another tiny little book series that's good is "10 minute essays" by Frank Crane.
Please continue with Manly Manners. Definitely an eye opener in many ways. ❤️👍🏻. 🇺🇸😎
The most economical use of the evapo-rust or vinegar is to put the object in a plastic bag, especially odd shaped objects, as much less liquid will cover the object if you draw out some air before you close the top.
