2 of these Meat Totes from Academy for mixing and holding meat before stuffing and to put stuffed sausage into. This is working space stuff and makes handling and cleanup and refrigerating a breeze. Oh and if you aren't doing tons of...
So, in the market for a new grinder. Not in a rush, just starting the journey. We are looking at Walton's #22 or #32. It's really hard to find NEW, non sponsored, reviews on anything anymore. So, I'll let those who have one comment here.
Pro's and cons of the Walton machines? Not just "it...
Congratulations on your purchase.
I don't have a LEMgrinder.
I have a Weston and it came with 3 grind plates (don't recall the exact sizes) plus the worthless plastic stuffing plate.
I used the medium plate for most generic grinds.
I started using a mix of the medium and fine plate for...
Hey guys I own a meatyourmaker 22 meat grinder and would love to hook it up to a mixer? Does anyone know of any that works or an adapter to buy ? I heard possibilities of the Lem 25 tilt working but it does not, so looking for something that will work before I explore buying a different grinder...
I agree about moving the equipment. When I finish the cooking area in my garage, I have a bench set up for the electric stuffer and grinder. Between uses I will keep them covered.
@chopsaw ; Inox plates will fit perfectly in the LEMgrinders. Cabela's pates run a little larger so not sure if they will work or not. I have an LEMgrinder....
...to push backwards over the flights of the auger and eventually becomes mush.
I have a LEM dual grind head, but before that it was just the standard LEMgrinder head. It’s a fairly tight fit with auger and body, and I have zero issues doing double or tripple grinds. Always grinds clean and...
Biggest one you can afford….. with a grinder the more expensive they are the beefier they are and the more they can handle…. It’s all in lb/min …. I have a LEM #32 never let me down wish I had a bigger one lol
Looks great but not brave enough to step up to sausage making Rick. But did find a hand grinder a couple of weeks ago that my BIL brought home from somewhere 😀. Gotta start making some burger meat soon!

In regards to the Lem getting hot. I am pondering. How many actual grinder OEM manufactures are there that the known brands use. Case in point one of the smaller Cabela's grinders has a big bite auger. Some of meat grinders have dual grind like lem
I figured it was time to move on from my Kitchenaid grinder attachment and get a real grinder. I was about to jump on a LEM #8 but this one kept catching my eye.
The STX Turboforce II came with 3 blades and 6 cutting disks. The biggest complaint I see is not getting enough cutting disks. It...
I just used my phone camera to match up a like stamp .
Whatever Cabelas means . Just depends on who makes it . Mine is either a Kitchener or a Weston I think . They don't give up that info . All you can really do is match it up for looks / features and " assume " .
The #12 Pro series Cabela...
I have some grey stuff coming out of my grinder. It's always toward the end of a 6-8 pound grind.
My grinder is magnetic, I can stick a magnet on it, the shavings do not seem to be magnetic, but they could be to small to stick.
I'm worried it's metal shavings maybe?
The plate has some...
Mine got removed... only my wife and I run it... not that dumb to stick my hand in it! Plus as you say it's deep. If you don't have one already I would recommend a foot pedal... used my grinder once, then ordered the foot pedal. Think mine was $50 when I bought it. Otherwise I think it was...
Wow, you're right! Their cheaper grinders use plastic gears! That's crazy!
Fortunately, it does seem that the big-bite grinders don't use plastic gears. Still, it's odd to me to see any plastic gears in any grinder, even in their lower-end models...
My Weston has a lot more room between the auger and the veins than that. I am going to regrind the 36 burgers I made last week through the 4.55 plate this weekend. Will do with mostly frozen meat, I loved, loved the taste of the burgers but did not like the 8mm grind. If that does not go...
Can't say it any better than they did above...
Although I have a LEM Big Bite #8 grinder for big jobs, I love my Kitchenaide meat grinder for little jobs. (You have to love a household appliance with a PTO!)
Ham & Turkey Salad give it the biggest workout.
Breakfast sausage next...

So I received an email about 30% off LEM items which seemed interesting as they don't really ever do what I would call a "good" discount, so I clicked and checked and saw this new funny thing while poking around!
It's a burger patty, jerky, snack stick attachment!!!
It can work directly with...
