    I was blinded by butt!!

    We would be a good team Shaun. I enjoy stuffing much more than grinding. Mainly because I have a little #8 lem grinder. It works but everything has to be cut perfectly or it won't fit. And it's slow. Time for an upgraded grinder I guess.

    That "small" 5-10 lb batch is all we'll ever do at one time. So, Kitchenaid grinder is perfect (and no additional cost).

    I was blinded by butt!!

    ...plastic grinder attachment we've had for many years. It's serviceable enough for processing a 7 lb butt every few months. We looked at LEM grinders, as we looked at LEM stuffers, and there was no cost justification for our low-end use. We're big on cost justification, and try never to buy...

    You missed the big part of @Winterrider post The metal grinder is a big improvement over the plastic from what I have read and been told. I considered it again as we got a second Kitchen Aid mixer for free last winter. Lugging my grinder north and south every year is a pain.

    Do any of you use this meat grinder?

    There are several that look like they are built in the same facility, much like my Lem 12" slicer. These over sea companies are super shady. I'll wait until one of them goes on sale, and pick one up. I honestly don't need a 1HP grinder for my small batches, it's kinda like any other motor. It's...

    I was blinded by butt!!

    I ground meat with Armstrong (manual) as well as the Kitchen Aid plastic attachment. I was very seriously looking at getting a metal attachment until I scored a Weston #8 for under $50 More than adequate for my 4-6 grind sessions a year. Great point and I forgot about that David. If memory...

    Keep the meat cold. I run the same grinder and will say that a single pass is fine and a double grind is not needed. Also, do not freeze the grinder head and parts. This will just cause the meat to stick to the metal, just like your tongue on a flag pole in winter. Instead make sure the meat...

    Meat slicer recommendations

    I have the Lem 12". I bought a roll around table to keep it on. The two lower shelves hold my meat grinder, sausage stuffer, Sousvide and a tub of spices. Let's me move my stuff out of my wife's kitchen. LoL

    Cross brand grinder attachments

    I am upgrading from a KA grinder. I only "need" a #8, but I'll end up getting the #12 or #22. I'm going back and forth between LEM And Meat!. Does anyone know if the spindles are cross-compatible with Cabelas in case I get coupons or gift cards and want to hook up to their mixers, head...

    Recommendation for Grinder from Bass Pro

    I don't see LEM in the page you linked at Bass Pro. But, that being said I bought a LEM #12 3/4hp "big bite" unit a while back and have loved it. It eats everything I throw at it, frozen or partially frozen or raw. I'm not sure who makes Cabela's branded grinders, but LEM has been in...

    Collagen 32-35mm casings for smoked sausage

    MY THINKING SO FAR: I haven't pulled the trigger on anything but the cure #1. Hakka 7 lb vertical stuffer for $129 at Amazon. LEM 32mm smoked collagen casings at $18/pack. at Amazon. I think 1 pack should handle my needs for 1 year. LEM sausage seasoning packs for $12 each at Amazon. Each...

    Differences in meat grinders.

    The first pick looks just like my LEM. The second pick just stay away from. You want that grinder head to come off with a thumb screw.

    Ok, after a day postponement I just ground the beef for tomorrows sticks. Two grinds, big plate than small. LEM #8 Big Bite. I froze all the parts first, and perhaps didn't have the beef frozen 'quite' enough. First time through, no ram needed, all the pieces fell into the machine. But...

    Differences in meat grinders.

    If that first grinder is anything like the Vevor chamber vac sealer I got then I wouldn't worry much about buying it. Probably just like a LEM without the name. Was just using my LEM today and was trying to think hiw many years and how much use I have gotten out of it. Used it to stuff sausage...

    For my smaller grinder I have the LEM # 8 grinder. Bought it at our local farm store for $140 so not a bad price. Ryan

    Differences in meat grinders.

    No experience with Vevor or LEM grinders. Tried the KA a few times and just used store ground meat or used the Armstrong (hand grinder). Got a Weston #8 really cheap. Not the ideal grinder, but it will outlive me and does the job. The thing I question on the Vevor versus my Weston is both are...

    Snack stick temps stall.

    Watched the 2 Guys video I was told to look at and he put his grindings back in the freezer and ran them again, and made a point to say, "don't use that pusher". Well, his has a bigger throat so ok, I had to use it. But if I'd had it at a colder temp, maybe it would have been fluffy enough to...

    Differences in meat grinders.

    ...an option. After doing some more research, I came across the Valley Sportsman grinder, which appears to be identical to the Vevor and LEM grinders. The price is slightly higher than the Vevor but significantly lower than the LEM. After watching a lot of videos and reading forum posts, I...
