Checked with Cabela’s customer service & their cast iron is imported from China. Nothing wrong with that; but it probably has a lot to do with the pricing.

Lodge has a foundry in Pittsburg, TN where their all cast iron cookware is made. Their enamel cookware is imported.

Last weekend in April is the Nat. Cornbread Festival in Pittsburg, TN. This is the one occasion each year when Lodge gives tours of the foundry.
