Find a store that caters to campers (the kind that really camp and don't go
for the pretty outfits). Such a store around here sells the cast iron
pots,pans and lids separately. Ours is called the Army/Navy Store. Or find
a store that deals in surplus. These stores offer a huge range of sizes and
oddments in cast iron.
