    Lem mighty bite #8 or Meat your maker 500 watt #12?

    Undecided on which one to buy for longevity and performance. This unit is not going to see extreme use but use on deer meat,pork butts for sausage etc. Is the extra expense worth it for the LEM as it is about 100.00 more. Anyone with either one of these units your info would be appreciated. Thanks

    Cure 1 and wet marinade

    Dave thanks for the quick reply,so you are saying that it is the total weight of fluid and meat as I was under the assumption that it was for the weight of the meat and not the marinade.
