I'm selling this item because I no longer use it, although I've only used it a few times.  There is no noticeable rust, and it's ready to use.  I have stored it carefully in a container box at home. When camping, I carried it in the container box. I will give it to you in the container box as is. I hope you will use it in its rugged state. Please note that the container box itself has dirt and scratches. I will ship it in the container box. The container box is treated the same as a packing cardboard box, so tape or stickers may be directly applied to the container box itself. Please understand that the container box itself is not guaranteed. I am also selling a set of two Dutch ovens, iron pots & lidded with legs, so please take a look. Durable Captain Stag Dutch oven, perfect for outdoor cooking. - Brand: CAPTAIN STAG - Type: Dutch Oven
