This is going to sound horrible, but I had a Lodge that I used for years until I was gifted an older smoother cast iron, and it’s so much nicer. I then took my Lodge out to the garage, got out the vibratory sander and some zirconia paper, and went to town. Decided that a 150 grit surface was smooth enough, then re-seasoned it. It’s much nicer now.
For this price, I’m tempted to get the griddle and start off by resurfacing it…
