We're barely a week and a day into smokin' meats and sausages, and our family is asking for more. We ground our first batch of pork shoulder on my wife's KitchenAid Pro, 17#13.5oz. - never again! It is time to buy a dedicated meat grinder. Now come the questions.
We expect to be grinding from 40-80# of pork at a time. Both my son & I have back problems so speed of grinding is important. I've done a search, read the threads on meat grinders and narrowed the selection down to 3. They are an LEM Big Bite #8, an LEM Big Bite #12 and an unbranded MTN #22. All have a stainless steel head & roller bearings - important to me. My first thought was to go with the LEM Big Bite #12 until I saw the unbranded MTN: http://www.ebay.com/itm/361859015280?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT
Does anyone have any experience with the larger MTN, good, bad or indifferent?
Realistically, would the LEM #8 be a bit of a pain in my back, i.e.: too slow for our needs?
Thanks,
Cliff.
