Interesting, I've also got a Lodge. I use a low heat with a longer preheat, usually somewhere between a 3 or 4 out of 10 for for I'd say 2-3 minutes or so to preheat (not sure if that's relatively long or not).
Maybe it's the seasoning? I haven't seasoned ours in a long time but the last time I did I used flax seed oil.
