I took my cast iron camping and it got left under the kitchen pop-up during a rainstorm, so it's a bit rusty. I need to figure out how to strip and reseason it (and my pie irons 😤). Need to figure out how to season without using an oven (gives migraines) or a gas grill (don't have one)

Edit: oven is electric, no issues when using the oven for anything else, so it's probably not the oven or ventilation.

isn't the so called seasoning just the brown shit on the bottom of the stainless pots that you couldn't clean off if you tried... or used barkeepers friend and scrubbed for 30min per square inch? I had cast iron once and I oiled and baked it a couple times then just washed it with dish soap like everything else and put it on the burner's residual heat and had seemingly nk problems. Then somehow my mom made it fully coated in rust one day and I have no idea what she did

So if you just wiped it out with a paper towel, how many years do you think one could go before getting actually sick? I'll volunteer to be a test subject if I find a cheap cast iron. Apparently I'm supposed to get away from my non stick pans anyways
