Posted this earlir in sausage, but might get better response here. I am planning on making my own sausage for a fattie. When I normally make bulk breakfast sausage, I use the 1/4" plate.

My question is: Is this too course a grind to make a good fattie? Will it hold together or do I need to grind finer?

I would think that would be ok, but I would not go any larger. I use 3/16 when I grind mine and seems to work well.

Thanks, guys. I have 2 lbs of butt seasoned up for Andouille and will grind tomorrow. Will let you know how it works.
