    still deciding on if its worth it. Sausage patties

    I run a LEM Big Bite #8 ($400 + shipping). Works great. It is considered to be a "commercial" grinder - albeit on the low end of the commercial spectrum. Quiet as a can opener and totally grinds the pounds I run through it semi-frozen. I typically run 10 to 20 pounds at a time for home use...

    still deciding on if its worth it. Sausage patties

    Oh darn, I'm really happy with my dual-grind, but I haven't done more than 10lbs or so at once. Sad to hear that it might overheat if I do more than that. It really has been a great grinder for me...

    LEM dual grind adapter

    I’m looking for a new meat grinder. I grind around 3-5 deer a year. I want one that I don’t have to cut the meat up super small. What do y’all use? Mainly grind for burger.

    Grinder Question

    I have a Lem "Big Bite #8 Model 779. This is the higher hp model of the big bite #8 series, I am having problems with it wanting to pull the meat through the cutter, no matter which plate I am using. The meat was partially frozen and this time I was using the 3/8 plate and still had to force...

    does it make sense to grind our own hamburger ?

    I bought a LEM grinder couple of moths ago and have been grinding my own hamburger ever since. I can buy ground chuck at the local butcher for $5.39/lb or get brisket, like today for $3.88. Granted I lost a lot in trimming but the hamburger stays red a lot longer in the fridge. Tastes so much...

    Review of $90 Fohere 3000W #12 Grinder

    I upgraded to the LEM dualgrind and gifted this one to my brother. The reason I moved on is that I needed an extra-coarse 12mm plate and I couldn't source anything that would fit this machine (the plates are proprietary). Another reason is that the machine is LOUD, and my wife found it annoying...

    Thank you, I've not had much luck grind and emulsifying together as it separates the water when I poach at 165F to internal temp of 155F. I don't have that problem if I grind (3mm) the meat separate, salt and sit the meat overnight and emulsify it followed by adding the fat (4.5mm) and spices...

    Interesting. Run the meat with seasoning mixed through the Champion, then run the fat through separate then mix the two together in your stand mixer with ice water. The cold is absolutely key. As far as the trouble to ice pack or freeze the grinder head,,,, I gave that up years ago, it’s to...

    Metal in grind?

    ...That Grey gunk is kinda normal. It doesn’t happen every time you grind and sometimes it’s more that other times. Like I said, you have a LEM grinder, this is great quality and the same as mine, but the meat temperature is what I’ve noticed as being the biggest factor. Otherwise just pick out...

    So I think I decided on this. Probably get a 10mm plate while it ship free. Going to wait until fathers day in case of sale. Make me a good Birthday Gift:emoji_wink:

    Weston Butcher Series #5 Meat Grinder

    Yea, my LEM grinder has a nylon bushing with a thrust washer all incorporated as one piece. And is replaceable, same for most grinders. I’m surprised that grinder doesn’t have that.
