As much as I despies questions such as "here is a procedure I know nothing about can you tell me if it makes meth" I would say yes is should work fine. How do you plan on chlorinating Ephedrine might I ask?

I also must say that if you need to ask then chances are the grignard is a bit out of reach don't ya think? I am no great chemist by far but knowing my limitations is a big part any success I might have had.
There once were some bees and you took all there stuff!

swip thinks you can get Chloroephedrine via Lucas reagent (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucas'_reagent), then you turn this in meth via grignard , other way is this :

swip know magnesium is hard to find , but not imposible and diethyl eter is not hard to make , only need precaution.
