Where it makes sense
Lodge's classic 10.25-inch skillet is the familiar-pan option for a car camping menu with foods that benefit from a broad frying surface. It makes sense when the same skillet will also be used at home and when the trip includes time for washing, drying, and a light application of oil. Its long handle and helper handle must fit the stove area and packing box; diameter alone is not the full footprint. It is an awkward choice for a light backpacking kit or a burner that does not approve the loaded pan. Select the exact L8SK3 variant rather than a similarly named size.
The tradeoff
Substantial carry weight, a projecting handle, and drying requirements
