    Meat Saw

    Pennsylvania Amish area

    LEM Grinder broke?

    Sounds like one or more internal gears stripped out. Everything is fixable if the parts are available. It comes down to your ability and the cost of the parts vs a new grinder.

    I just had the longest smoke of my life

    That's a lot of meat for one smoke. Plus opening the door to "spritz" adds even more time to the cook. But as long as it turned out to be good eat'n it was worth it.
