Your in for a treat, the #12 lem grinder is a beast w/the big bite auger. The "new" hasn't worn off yet, don't think it ever will, 10# a minute. All I can do is smile every time I use it. Saves so much time...
Heavy duty grinder = Heavy weight

Yeah, pants are a good thing!! Thanks

Merry Christmas to you & Enjoy

I sure hope so. I am going to get a membership to the local gym so I can bulk up and lift it....LOL Its a monster!

Nice grinder mate.....very jealous! I've been looking at the same unit...let us know how it goes!

The only reason I got the #12 as I said above, the #10/12 is the smallest grinder that can use the 3/4 plate. Thats the one we always use to grind chili meat, and now I am thinking maybe it might work for andouille. Cutting up those butts does take a load of time.

I was thinking maybe I'll just grind up the butts bone and all now......ROFLMAO. I just bought ground chuck today also for hamburgers. <heel of right hand to forehead> Doh!!

Man you gonna start supplying the whole forum with ground meat? McDonald's got you under contract? Is Adam supplying you with whole cows daily?

Looks like a great piece of equipment!

foamheart · Dec 19, 2014

That meat ain't gonna be out long enough to get warm! I will actually be able to do a double grind for a change, maybe some bologna or Mortadella! Make my own meats for a Muffuletta? Oh yeah!

Thanks DS, I think it might stay around awhile. I may have to start raising hogs again. LOL

Nice score Foam. My wife was ready to shoot me last year when I got mine.But after seeing me grind 40 pounds of Venison in 20 minutes she saw the light. Love mine. If you regrind with the fine plate it can take a little while but it'll get it done. You be surprised how fast the course plate eats it up. looking forward to the Qview

jarjarchef · Dec 20, 2014

Guess I was not as good as you this year. Santa did not bring me an early gift like that.

Great looking toy and yes thank you for wearing pants...

woodcutter · Dec 20, 2014

Congratulations! Your gonna love it. Double grinding with it will be a treat instead of a treatment. I'm glad you had your pants on when you took the picture.

Thanks... I am looking forward to it. Did you get the foot pedal? I may not know better but I really didn't see the need.

LOL..... after I posted it, I noticed the reflection. Thats probaly what it is, you are expecting Santa before Christmas. Before and after Christmas UPS is the best bet.

Now I am guessing I'll need to order the cleaning brush set.

Heaux Heaux Heaux....... Joyeux Noël à tous et une nouvelle année en toute sécurité!

I think I still have an old 289 CU crate engine in the garage, maybe I'll hook 'em up.

No more deboning required! ROFLMAO!

gary s · Dec 20, 2014

Have you ground up everything in sight ? No critter will ever be safe.

I was in a Craw-fish mood whipped up some Etouffee for supper.

I did get the foot pedal and I really use it a lot. Pretty handy if your by yourself.

Hmmmmm...... Do you stuff with yours also? I was thinking turn it on grind the meat turn it off. But I am also thinking about the brush set but as big as the throat is on this thing I believe I could use a toilet brush? AND since the bearing are SS and sealed, why would I need any spray lub? I mean I have some already for the stuffer, but I am wondering about the grinder.

Whenever you're ready. You should probably wait for Shoneyboy to finish his walk in foirst so you'll have a place to store that ground meat.

bamafan · Dec 21, 2014

The only thing I've stuffed with it was the one pound ground meat bags, and I probably will not do that again. I'll grind and then use my stuffer. I just like having both hands free to pile meat in and the loading tray only holds so much. The fine grind takes awhile. Just take a little to to the meat pushed down the throat.

Thanks..... Yeah I was expecting to do the same, but I am most diffinately excited about a garlic bologna recipe I have......... Should I just go ahead and order one bag of every size casing just to cover my butt? LOL

Its really hard to not just start grinding everything in sight.....

foamheart · Dec 25, 2014

Ok, so its now Christmas and I don't know exactly what to say here. I obviously was predigious in my acessment of how good I was this last year when I buy the grinder for me. So this morning I jump outta bed and run to the Christmas tree to seee if Santa Claus had left me something and low and behold I had impressed him!

This was under the tree this Morning, really sorta sad.

You'll note that it is at least a matching set and with some fancy wringer action on it, maybe its turbo charged.

Oh well I guess I'll just have to work harder next year. Now you see why I have to buy my own Christmas presents?

I hope you all have a really exceptional Christmas Day, Me? Well I have a new grinder and my butcher called, there is a special Foamheart discount on Pork butts and beef briskets. LOL...........

Merry Christmas.

But back then I seem to remember it being less effort. Maybe the mops weigh more now or they are less aerodynamical. I bet you didn't have that fancy wringer, I am thinking that when the old stuff works why change it?
