    Yes. I had a pan for almost 20 years and it was never great. In desperation I sanded it smooth.

    Turns out that was the problem. New pans aren’t sanded as part of their manufacturing.

      I fucked up the seasoning on a newer lodge and just sanded it down with 80 then 120 sandpaper then seasoned from scratch. It is now as smooth as any older pan I’ve found.

      I’ve seen some available that are polished smooth from the factory, but I think they’re made in China. Quality seems good though.
