So I ended up with 13lbs of chunks:
(http://i276.photobucket.com/albums/kk7/flbentrider/MAK/DSCN5815.jpg)
Adding HM jerky cure, fresh cracked pepper, and some soileau's bayou blend. Flip and repeat on other side.

All done, ready for a 48 hour rest in the reefer - it will go in the OBS and then 80L on Saturday.

That's 8lb in one bag, 5lb in the other.

DeWalt - the original pepper grinder.

What the ****.  How did you guys come up with grinders like that?

One thing that I have found on this forum is that if a motor can somehow be attached to something that was never meant to have a motor, someone on this forum will figure out a way to put a motor on it.  ;D

If a rub calls for 2-3 TBS fresh ground black pepper you could end up with a sore wrist doing it by hand.

I have a matching coarse sea salt grinder; works there too  ;D

I also use the DeWalt to drill holes in the OBS.  It's a real multi-tasker.

Yeah, I forgot to empty the water bowl last night, I was smokin' some chicken for the Buffalo dip.

They are going to get an hour or two of Hickory.

There was ~2lbs that did not fit. I put it in the 80L @150F

That drawer don't close so good - kids - that is the main silverware drawer.

No one noticed that it took exactly 20 minutes to rack all that - 2.5 minutes per rack.

So you started off with 13 pounds and ended up with 7?  Quite a reduction for sirloin.

You better get more started soon  ;D

Looks good FLBR.

So I did 7 lbs on Saturday, and after looking at it, picked up another 17lbs today. trimmed it was 15lbs.

and I devised a new mixing/seasoning method:

dump it all in a big bus tub and get your hands dirty while your Mrs applies the seasonings...

I picked up a food grade bucket today at a nearby grocery store...   Their deli sells them w/ lids for $2.     That will be my new mixing container.

Squirt that will make a good bucket to brine your own ham, chicken, turkey as well.

FLBR,

That is one awesome, kick-a$$, genious, ingenious, and awfully pretty pepper-grinder.  I nearly fell off my chair when I saw the photo of that.  I've turned a few peppermills in my day (on the lathe), and I have an 18 inch tall one that I have yet to finish.  Might have to find a replacement for my 18 volt DeWalt drill, or maybe the impact driver would better suit the purpose.  You have my creative juices flowing, and when I combine jerky making with woodworking..., we just might have a very dangerous combination  ;D ;D ;D
