As far as cooking and even heat. I make it a habit to periodically turn the pan 90 degrees while I'm cooking so I don't have hot spots.

The photo of motorboats pan looks like my larger Lodge pan. It always has a shine. I have a smaller one that hasn't quite got there yet, but it's getting there. Next time I buy new Lodge pans, I'll be lightly sanding them before I start the seasoning process.

The next home I move to will hopefully have gas for cooking. Have had it in previous houses and used it as a Firefighter in the Firehouse.

Both of my brothers were firefighters also; my brother in Albuquerque did a lot of cooking there! I use his recipe for Green Chile Stew quite often!

That's SOP for dutch oven cooking on coals. About every 15 minutes, turn the oven 90 degrees one direction, turn the lid 90 degrees the other direction.

Why is a solid copper pan junk? I’ve never had one but the logic seems solid?

Acids like vinegar and tomatoes can leach copper into the food. Ingestion of copper can be toxic

This is why modern copper pans have stainless linings

Yep. Gotta do the rotation when baking in a DO. Not so much for simmering.
