Everything I hoped it would be.
When I first started buying Field Cast Iron pans a couple of years ago, it was intimidating. Now when I get a new item, I plan what I'm going to cook first even before I receive in the mail. I've used my new Dutch Oven a couple times already.
As for it being a factory second, that was almost laughable it was such a slight imperfection. I couldn't believe I was lucky enough to check out the seconds and find a Dutch Oven, I ordered immediately. Good thing I did because they sold out quickly.
