Alright I did something stupid and I need some help....seriously

[Ivan the Butcher]

I learned this when I started doing clean-ups of the environmental nature. Chloride residue is measured in Parts Per Million for solids and Parts Per Billion for liquids. The contamination level starts at 50 PPM and 50 PPB respectively. There are no chemical tests that go that small without going to a mass spectrometer! My honest advice would be to retire the Weber from food service and only use it for document destruction and bullet alloy servicing (and maybe branding cattle.)!

Dont worry. It can't make possum taste any worse.

Gary's more of a Nutria kinda guy.

Gentlemen, this is usurpation. The real cajunlawyer willingly departed from our company earlier today. As an aside, I years ago shot all my 3.5 floppies. It was physically and emotionally immensely enjoyable.

Folks that say pitch it may be the same purists that decry using lighter fluid claiming it tastes foul. If'n you taste Sparky in your food you did something very wrong.
Fire it up and clean just like planned then cure the new grate and grill a burger patty, chicken tender and a dog. Either one will pick up any leftover, if any, unpleasantness.

 

[swsig]

Uh...Gary, is this another April Fool's post? I'm reminded of the story about the little boy who cried wolf...then when he was serious, nobody believed him.

I'm not sure that even Gary could make up a story like that.

Anyway, I suggest the age-old Forum solution for everything: It will buff right out.

I'd use it to burn the rest of the discs then dump it.

I am not a lawyer. Seems to me that retaining a document disposal service to do the job and keeping the record of that contract and receipt might be a good idea in the event of any question arising over disposition of confidential client files.

Not being a lawyer (and never graduating from barber college) I offer this suggestion in good faith with no expectation of payment for legal advice.

Get the offset smoker. You've earned it.

Caj - these “floppy disk” are made of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), Mylar as a polyester film, stainless steel and other high-density plastics. While the effects of burning polyvinyl chloride tubing are largely unverified burning it does generate hydrogen chloride gas. Personally, I don’t think I’d have a hot dog or burger cooked on that grill.
You probably needed a new Webber anyway……..

 

[Walkin Horse]

I'm thinking that if this is the son with the grandson, hey, the argument is not worth it. Don't wanna have family members not showing up for dinner.

I like the new smoker idea. But, if you wanna save money on the next grill, check out Craigs List. A year or so ago I got a $220 Weber kettle near new for $60 off Craigs List.

You got it cheap because they used it to burn baby diapers and old Tupperware on.

 

[venomballistics]

Consider the chemicals that went into it's manufacture

EEEwwwww, that made me throw up in my mouth a little.

Well, hindsight is 20/20 so recommending degaussing them is no longer an option.

Personally, I would not let one error lead to another, I would get a new grill, however I am a smoker so take my recommendation FWIW.

Good luck and let us know how you proceed. Pictures and a highly detailed report of the culinary experience are expected.

 

[cadmike]

I say fire up some wings.

 

[Skeet 028]

If you have an air compressor you can get or borrow a small sand blaster(harbor Freight). fire the grill up with hardwood charcoal let it burn out(night time Caje). Sand blast the inside of the whole thing...including the grate. It really won't take that long. I had to do that to my last charcoal grill after throwing some plastic in it. Duh. But I did have the sand blaster. I used it to clean the rust off saltwater waterfowl guns. Sea duck hunting is more than hard on shotguns

HAW!

Actually, seller switched to gas because community passed a no charcoal grill rule due to drought.

Lotta grills on Craigs List.

 

[Old 44 Guy]

I get rid of mine with a bunch of bullet holes in them.

 

[Golddollar]

My recommendation is to get a new grill. Because of medical issues, I'm drinking unsweetened ice tea when I go out instead of beer. One place gave me bottled ice tea and I could taste the plastic from the bottle, and that's without being fire-infused.

 

[ameridaddy]

Treat yourself to a new grill and invest in a sizeable super magnet for remaining floppies. Wipe the magnet across the disc a few times and it should be ruined unless maybe NSA tries to recover it.

 

[Onomea]

Heck, for destroying floppies or CDs, just buy a shredder. I got one for $30+ off off Amazon a coupla years ago and in addition to paper it has a slot for CDs.

Pffft! Amateur stuff, Caj! This fella is the Father Of All Enterprising Incindiarists, the eminent Prof. George Goble of Purdue University. From his Wikipedia entry:

In 1996, Goble was awarded the Ig Nobel Prize in Chemistry, for preparing a barbecue for cooking in less than 5 seconds by the use of a smoldering cigarette, charcoal and LOX (liquid oxygen). This act attracted the attention of the West Lafayette, Indiana fire department, which warned him to never let them catch him in the possession of LOX near a barbecue fire ever again.

You call that a fire? THIS is a fire!
