any decent black cast iron saucepans?

[ladyearth]

to be able to cook over say a campfire?
Is the Victoria brand on Lowes com ? decent? will other brands hold up to a campfire? like cook say rice or oatmeal in and hold up? I saw a 2.5 qt one in HD catalogue they sent to us couldnt locate anything smaller in the reg black cast iron. Saw nothing similar on Lodge website
what are your opinions> thanks all

Not sure about saucepans....but Lodge skillets are great...and Dutch ovens.  Lodge is made right here in Tennessee (not the enameled lineup, it's made in China but still good)

Here is a hint from my boy scout days for using any pan over a campfire: paint the outside of the pan with a mixture of ivory flakes and water before putting the pan over the fire. When it comes time to wash the pan, the soot washes off with the ivory film on the outside.

in the 70s we just used Ivory Liquid full-strength to prevent the soot from adhering. Boy Scouts in St. Louis MO werent able to use liquid fuels, so did all cooking on wood/charcoal.
