I just remembered I had this "weight-saving 14 gauge carbon steel pot for the primitive camp."
Actually, it's a wok I inherited long ago and have never used and don't intend to. In the house, anyway. Looks like my aunt used it once and lost interest; it is not tinned, that's bare steel inside, note spot-welds. 12" across and 3 1/2" deep, the same thing made in USA is still available today for $22.95, one-handled Chinese ones even less. What say I ditch the round handles and rivet on one straight handle? And three legs?
Page 183 in "Antique Country Furnishings" shows three such "round-bottom spiders." I'm looking for something lighter than my period incorrect cast iron...
