It is called Cast Iron Cooking and is on Facebook. There are a few others with the same name but you can follow this link or look for the group with over 423K members.

I like it, no politics, memes, cat videos, etc. Just cast iron and cooking. You will see dishes and recipes from all around the country and if you see a dish that interest you, you can ask for the recipe if they did not post it. Only a few main rules and you should read them when you join. Most important 2. If you post a pic, make sure to include your CI. If someone post a dish you do not like, just ignore it, do not say yuck or something.
In other words, don't act like a trucker! I'll have Mrs Monkey take a peek at it on FB.

Some things just cook better in cast iron. I am not CI crazy like some members of that group who insist everything has to be cooked in CI, but I do like it for many things, and over a campfire you can not beat it.

God I miss bacon, eggs and potatoes all cooked over an open fire with biscuits in the dutch oven.

I can duplicate a decent campfire at my place. I've got a brand new skillet and Dutch oven that need to be broken in. You're welcome anytime. I'll cook it outdoors and bring the food in. I've been watching a lady on U toob that cooks primarily in CI. Her blog and channel are about keeping the Appalachian ways. Her blog is blindpigandtheacorn.com

Only one thing, a lot of the Utubers give out bad info on the care of CI. Some will tell you to clean them in a self cleaning oven or by tossing it into a hot fire. They do not tell you about how many pans get damaged or destroyed by the high heat, or cause kitchen fires. Recipes yes, CI care, the group's FAQ has the best info by serious collectors and cooks.

One of my most vivid memories from childhood are of a cast iron skillet "exploding" while my mom was frying fish on the stove top. Keep in mind I was about 5 so "exploding" may not be 100% accurate but it was loud, there was cussing and the kitchen did not catch fire.
