If your doing a small steak. A charcoal starter works really well. Just put a grate on top & it will sear in a minute!

Lodge is a very good brand. You can certainly restore what you have. Search YouTube for videos on restoring and seasoning cast iron. There are tons of videos. We have one of the squareish ribbed bottom pans and use it for steak sometimes.My wife just reminded we have 2 old CI ... pls check pics. One is rusted , the other is ok . Dunno if that "LODGE" is a good brand. Can I restore the rusted one easily using vinegar / CLR etc? ! THANKS:)
Great, what does the ribbed CI do that the flat CI doesnt? Just lines on the meat?!Lodge is a very good brand. You can certainly restore what you have.

Yup!I think the mistake I did was I covered the grill while doing...
