I run LEM not much cross over experience but I would suggest you find a quality company that has all the accessories you want and stay with that brand. Walton’s Meat is another good brand and supply store to check out .
Also if you are serious about a meat mixer hooked up to your grinder motor...
Grinder and stuffer would be the main things. I currently have a 7 lb Hakka horizontal stuffer... it works but pretty sure I'm gonna order the 10 lb LEM electric. It seems popular. I know @SmokinEdge likes his. I have a big grinder for when we grind venison for burger and bought a smaller one...
It took two months for USPS to deliver my moms mothers day card and she only lives four hours away. They lost a replacement blade for my LEMgrinder that had tracking on it and sat in KC for two months. I called LEM after it sat there for two weeks and they mailed a new one that showed up in...
Planning on making the purchase in February, but wanting to get my ducks in a row beforehand.
Current equipment:
No Mixer
Weston 5# manual stuffer - Manual is too hard on the old shoulder
Lem #8 grinder (only 1/2 or 1/2 hp) It's circuit breaker trips at times.
This is what I'm thinking of...
Just checked LEM site for pricing.
The #8 BigBite grinder is $439.99
The 5# MightyBite manual stuffer is $199.99
The 10# BigBite motorized stuffer is $759.99
You can use the promo code through tomorrow for 20% off, but this gives an idea of cost.
LOL for sure enablers.. Lots of good advice and I actually just found a buddy at work that makes his own and has one of the large LEMgrinders. He invited me over to try it out so that's a huge plus.
Funny you should ask! I literally just sat down from grinding up and mixing a 7lbish batch of breakfast sausage.
All excellent advice, especially doing a test run with store ground. I have a #8 LEM Big Bite that wouldn't have made it to my house except for a super special they ran. Stuffer you...
Ok, I may have found some differences after reading the specs more carefully and after finding some reviews. The more expensive model has an induction motor with pure copper windings. I couldn't find anything in the specs or any of the reviews for the cheaper grinder specifying pure copper...
All depends on budget and how much sausage you think you will make, or more specifically how often.
This can be a real rabbit hole money wise, but I would suggest a grinder in the #8 size, you will have to decide if you want a more commercial built or more of a home kitchen built unit. (I run...
This is my current equipment to make the sausages.
STX 12# grinder. From Amazon. It has lots of power and has worked great on the three batches I have made with it. EDIT: Amazon is back up so I added the link.
LEM 5# manual stuffer.
This has been a great stuffer. I added large suction...
