Quote HistoryQuoted: Did you ruin a brisket? No, caught it early on enough that I was able to just keep an eye on it using the cheapy to watch for temp changes and then back check it with my thermapen. Brisket actually turned out really good, just ate some leftover for lunch. 11lbs, trimmed down to 8.75lbs Rendered all the trimmed fat into beef tallow. |

I've tempered knives in an old toaster oven, but not springs in a lead pot.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Heck yeah, made a big batch of that from my last brisket. From now on im saving beef fat from any beef I do. Cant believe I used to throw the trimmings away. Going to do it with pork as well. I've always saved bacon grease, just never thought to do the same with other fat trimmings. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: did you send the email asking for the measurements one time? or did you send a daily reminder until you got the measurements? You gotta know how to deal with contractors Marked up in a dark ass cloud on the first set of erection drawings I sent out for approval. Many, many emails asking for it after the drawings were returned "approved" without a single measurement I requested provided several phone calls and about 4 or 5 teams meetings. I'm used to dealing with your average contractor, most of them have a lot on their plate and they are getting requests for information from every trade on the job. Shit gets missed, emails go unanswered and usually a phone call or a second email gets the question answered. This guy is just exceptionally stupid. Almost would be worth the flight to Ohio just to go down there and show this guy how to hold a tape measure. |

Quote HistoryI wouldn't have a huge issue with it if it weren't for the fact that it's essentially 24 additional documents dealing with a ridiculous amount of information. If it were a small job, sure. But this is no small job. |

No leftovers in the fridge and it's one of the few fast food places that is still semi-decent. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: you temper springs in a lead pot? Yep, just had an article accepted that covers tempering of spring material. It's the heat and not the medium. Springs can be tempered in ovens or even nitre-salt bluing tanks. It's just a matter of what you have and most chuters have lead pots. |
