Lodge knows cast iron as well as anybody and they've earned a great reputation. The difference is in the coatings, colors, and enamel quality and durability (at least from everything I've read cuz i don't own any enameled lodge) which are done in house to perfection by the French twins. Lodge is USA made for everything but their enameled lines which they finish in China. *** and que guy that wants to argue the country of manufacture has no bearing on quality

For folks wanting to avoid "made in China" LC, Staub, and Made In are all built in France. Head over to Germany and Merten and Stock is the leader. All these have high manufacturing standards and high marks on testing.

I own LC and Made In and love working with both. The LC was a gift and i didn't want to spend that kind of money when I got another. Also I see LC went to a Plastic knob which is suspect at their price
