I might need an intervention...

I got "the look" when I returned home last night after rescuing another Dutch oven. This was 12" deep by Lodge that I got for $25. It joins a 12" standard Lodge, an 10" standard Lodge and a 12" Scott Mfg aluminum. That's not to mention the (almost literally) 200 pounds of other cast iron cookware I have. However, the justification I've been using ("it was a really good deal and we'll be able to hand it down to our son") is starting to wear thin.

Gonna need a(nother?) shed to store it in

Nah...too humid outside, it'll all rust. I just need more creative places to stash it inside the house.

Chad, you should consider purchasing large silica gel desiccant packets... toss in a few of those uglies and you'll never need to worry about rusty cast iron pans again.
I initially bought them to toss in ziplock bags of homemade jerky, but I have found a few other uses for them.

Great idea Jim, do you have a link to your favorite silica packet?

So maybe it's time for another kid?

If I'm not mistaken, the active ingredients in those packets is diatomaceous earth.
