...accurately in the future.
I'm ordering up the ingredients that I don't have on hand, along with some 20-22 sheep casings. I have a small Lemgrinder, and a 5lb Lem stuffer, if I get back into this the grinder will be upgraded.
My family used small hand crank grinders, and I've made many...
Ryan, I have the same, and it works great for what I do. I've ground up a whole wild hog with it and a couple of deer, but I mainly used it for grinding brisket & chuck burger. I also have the 5lb Lem stuffer, it works great for me. The whole set up can be had for right around $300 if you shop...
Texas, I'm bumping your thread so hopefully you'll get some feedback.
Here are a few posts related to LEMgrinders: https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/search/8737610/?q=LEM+grinder&o=relevance
I also sent LEM an email and asked if they might provide an SMF-user exclusive discount code. We'll...
...and dont forget a quality vac sealer. I started my sausage making journey with the cheap stuff from amazon, and now have a quality lemgrinder, stuffer, and vac sealer. The amount of frustration getting quality out the gate will alleviate, will vastly improve the enjoyment of the process.
Besides the head not being removable for cleaning, are there differences in the quality of the two? I just can't figure out why the second one is so much cheaper for a more powerful grinder. I don't mind spending the extra money if the first one is better, but I can't figure out what the...
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.
