I bought a Cabela 14" dutch oven and it was really rough sand cast. I coated it with Lard and baked it a couple of times, but wasn't making much headway on getting it seasoned fit to use. I took it out to the shop and used my big angle grinder and a knotted steel cup brush and worked it real good inside, then seasoned it again. Works great now and goes hunting and camping with me all the time.
