I don't know anything about the steel pans. Just looked on their web site and see that they are made in the USA. I was not expecting that. Impressed. I have witnessed their seasoning process and they do a good job, better than you could do at home.

I have a rather old Lodge and a few deBuyer's and they are just different. My Lodge is thicker and heavier and great for cornbread, the deBuyers are more fun and get more use overall. All are pretty non-stick.
Here are a couple of videos of Lodge that may be of interest.

Thanks Edipis, I was confused, and now I am less confused:>) Actually think I may have to try out one of the Lodge steel pans now.
you should! they are a good value, definitely. i would strip off the factory seasoning, though.
The lodge cast iron (love) and steel (really like) are different.
Why? I had my doubts about their seasoning until I saw the process. As I said they do a better job putting on an initial even coat than you can at home.
