Seems like each has its own little niche. Homier seems to have more small hand tools. I got a bunch of multibit screwdrivers at one of their shows once, $0.19 apeiece. Smelled like old tires, worked pretty good though. Cummins is where I got my woodsplitters which have been awesome. My new cell phone holder is decent too. Made a soup Sunday night in the dutch oven, it tasted wierd, probably the waxy preservative they used although my wife thinks it was from the olive oil I used to season it. I'm still alive so its probably not poison... Used it to cook taco meat last night which worked out fine. Interestingly cooking taco meat seems to be the fastest way to season cast iron. After dinner boiled some water in it and mopped it out with paper towels and dammed if it hasn't improved 50%.

Cummins, Harbor Freight, Homier. Quite similar, really. HF seems to have more of the heavier stuff. -- Jim --------------------------------- It's here! Your new message!

I'm still using a cast iron dutch oven that I bought in the late 70s or early 80s at a garage sale. It is my favorite method of cooking almost anything I make.
