So my dad is having a retirement auction. Among the stuff we forgot my mother had owned we found her old campfire Dutch oven covered in surface rust. I scrubbed the rust off and put a quick coat of seasoning on it just so that it didn’t sell as a lawn ornament. Obviously I started thinking that maybe I should keep it. Once it was on the stove cooling off, my dad took one look at it and said " That cleaned up pretty nice, I think maybe I’ll keep that after all"

Didn’t think to take a before picture but here’s an after.

    Hi excuse me. I’m OOL here the interior is too damaged? I know the deal of cast iron but not understand clearly what’s the problem can’t you scrub or grind it?

      They succeeded at removing the rust, but failed at being able to sell it off and have one less thing. Because now their dad has chosen to keep it lol

      I was also confused at the title. The “backfired” part was at the end when he was told he wasn’t going to keep it.

      Whoever cleaned it did a good job.
