Cast iron is awesome, been using them since I was a kid. Looks like ya just need to turn down the heat. We always used Canola, but I have used olive, grape seed oil and also butter. Around the camp fire some preheat the pan near the fire, then pull it back and cradle on some rocks in a horse shoe arrangement. You can scoop/drag coals from the fire into horseshoe to get your heat just right.
