We'll it looks like I will be able to offer cauldrons again but they are going to cost a bit more than before. However I can do them as they are ordered rather than having to do them in batches. So no worries on them running out. I'll try and get my site set back up to list them again this week. There will be a little bit of a delay from order to when they will ship as we may only have one or two available at any one time. I'll try and keep the site updated with info. For those interested in seeing what they look like here is a picture. They are right at one gallon capacity

I believe I'll be offering them with the handles and lids or without but will have all that info on the site as well. Patrick

Mine is freakin' awesome!

Those look groovy as all get-out.

I may be interested after we step down. Cash is going to be a bit tight for the next 7 months or so. But I'm a period cook so I'd definately be interested.

Are they food safe and all?

Great news Patrick.

I bought one of his first cauldrons. It was requested without tinning on the inside. It has been the cooking workhorse ever since. It quickly heats up, none of this slowly introducing a ceramic pot to the fire. Unlike less accurate cast iron pots, it can be scrubbed out with soap and water. You don't have to cure it with oil! The only regret I have is that I did not purchase a lid with it.

what are these made of?

Please put me on your list, I will buy one this time.

Put me on the list for this time around. I went out to your site, but the merch page seems to be throwing a 404 error btw.

Indeed Patrick these are a rarity...in bronze at least.

Prices yet?

Add me to the list they look awesome.

We want another!

They are great, they heat up quicker and more evenly than cast-iron cauldrons.

BTW, a gallon is enough to give 8 people 2 full bowls of stew or pottage, in average Medieval sized bowls, or 16 people 1 serving apiece. Found that out this weekend.

Bump.

Edward

Do we have a price yet?

Those look teh awesome!

Oh, sweet God. Thank you so much Patrick. The one I got just before Crossroads in Time 2008 was well worth it. Perfection. I'm likely to get two though I'll need to sell some coins to have a chance of two.

Do we have a price yet?

Me too! Can't plan on it if it's not known!

any news?

They're worth it at almost any price. They are a serious portrayal enhancer. I know Patrick is too classy to get exorbitant, but they're vaulable as hell.

Oh darn. and here I am waiting on a $16,000 bonus check for re-enlisting in the Army and wondering what I'm going to spend it on...

If I'm wrong about Patrick's ethics, you just set the unit price!

I have been having some issues getting my website updated and was planning on having the prices and what not listed through there. as I am getting daily reminders to give an update I'll list prices here and let people see if I fit Jehan's quote
Cauldrons non tinned $500
Hand forged Handle $40
Hand turned maple lid $40
save 5 bucks by buying them together
Shipping to anywhere in the continental US is 30$ Insurance will tack on another 5$ I believe. I do accept paypal check or M.O. and right now we can get them to you in about 6- 8 weeks on the outside (good chance of sooner on the first couple orders). If you order soon we may even be able to get a couple in before Christmas.

Woodcrafter, after we get another finished one on hand we can probably do up a lid for you. The new lids have a lip that sits on top of the edge so you don't have to worry about ash or anything that lands on the edge of the lid sliding into the pot when removing it.

That's super-reasonable.
