Hold On To That Heart!

Reminds me of

All of those delicious posts from Nate and Stretch have made me jealous so I took a 2.5 kilo brisket and did a quick 8.5 hour roast. We shall see if it is tender yet. At least the Booker wine is setting the stage for something epic.

I want to avoid taking the drives apart as that takes too long, and I just discovered all of my drill bits are wimpy wood bits so off to Home Depot tomorrow. Thanks for all the advice.

Thank you Kevin.

The computer recyclers around here do not shred the HDs and more importantly do not let you witness their destruction. So Drilling sill seems to be the front runner. How about soaking in a bath of Muriatic acid?

Thank you. So far, drilling seems to be the most recommended as I have already pulled all the drives and to hook them up to to zero them out would take far more time than just drilling. I guess the magnetizing suggestion is not effective.

Having experienced two seasons of fires and one mandatory five minute notice evacuation we realized that among other things we have too many important items dispersed in too many places to adequately accommodate a last minute evacuation. So we've been doing some house cleaning and now have ten fifteen HDs that have been copied to a portable HD and need to be disposed of. There are a lot of recommendations on line but so far I have narrowed it down to either using a demagnetizer or drilling holes though the unit. Do you folks have any better more effective suggestions? Obviously due to the fire hazard, using a blast furnace is out of the question. Thank you.

Well I am not going to mention that it has been twelve months since we had a you-know-what.

Milo and Otis need to have a satellite office down here is So. Cal.

Well it all depends on the glue. There is good glue and then there is not so good glue. Your welcome. Feel free to ask me any time with your technical questions.

Happy birthday!

We lucked out. This brisket was part of a nine pound slab that Mary picked out and after the 16 hours of cooking and one hour resting is super tender slice it with a fork tender good. Some tri tips we have had never got to tender no matter how much prep and attention we gave them. But yes quality does matter.

I have difficulties with the jiggling method and tend to undercook when relying solely on that. So I chose the hybrid approach of jiggle+temp@182 and it came out pretty awesome if I do say so myself. Let it rest for 1 hour and it paired perfectly with the Grenache. I now feel ready to apply for my HC grilling team membership.

I will try to save you some but no promises.

Shooting for a 14 hour smoke BBQ for this brisket. Started it last night at 11pm so we shall see. Shooting for a 180 to 190 internal temperature so that will ultimately determine the finish time. On deck are two nice Grenaches for the contest.
