    Planning ahead - Upgrade to Sausage Making Equipment

    The Cabelas 1hp is great. Mine is at least 6 yrs old. No problems. Just smiles when I use it.

    Didn’t smoke the 35 lb chuck roll whole but I did make some tasty all beef pepperoni if u wanna see

    Great looking pepperoni. Looks like a beefy grinder. I'm hoping my Lem #8 (1/4hp I think) quits so I can buy a more powerful one.

    Making your own sausages?

    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...

    Differences in meat grinders.

    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...

    Making your own sausages?

    Thank you! You make your own seasoning or buy pre made?

    Making your own sausages?

    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...

    Brisket Bacon Sausages

    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...

    Manual #10 grinder

    Picked up an LEM #10 stainless hand grinder today. It's an LEM 683 but it says TSM on the tube. Seems solid and I think that it will be fun for small batches. The previous owner must have cranked it down too tight as there are faint grooves on one side of the coarse plate. Spent a while on the...

    Grinding straight into meat bags

    I’ve done this for years. I had troubles you speak of when I used a cheap 100$ lem grinder. When I upgraded to the Weston #12 (600$) my troubles were over. I’m not familiar with the dual grind either but anyway. I cut deer meat in 1” cubes or cross grain strips. Not overloading the hopper...

    Grinding straight into meat bags

    Since you said you were going to buy a "huge sausage stuffer", I highly recommend a electric one with a foot pedal no matter what brand you choose. I bought their 10lb model when it came out and love it. That foot pedal has made stuffing a 1 man job for even 17mm snack stick casings, so using...

    Considering Smaller Meat Grinder

    Hey all. As per the title, I'm considering the purchase of a new, smaller meat grinder for small batch runs of sausage and burger and such. I currently have a #22 Cabela's Carnivore and it's a brute to get out for small batches. I'm wondering if a #8 would be good enough for small 5-10lb...

    Planning ahead - Upgrade to Sausage Making Equipment

    I went with LEM as the #12 and 25# mixer. Grinder acts as a motor too. The #12, IMO, is more than most home use people need. I have ground 1/2 a pig and multiple deer with mine. I can cut the neck into 1" square strips 12" to 15" long and just drop them in the throat and off it goes. #22 would...

    Planning ahead - Upgrade to Sausage Making Equipment

    Guess I could have mentioned the reason for pending purchases. I have bone on bone in my shoulders, so hand cranking of any kind is out of the question. Also, carpal tunnel rules out hand mixing. Not too worried about the cleaning aspect. Thanks, I'll check that out.

    Considering Smaller Meat Grinder

    Got my new grinder today. I had also purchased two new LEM salvinox knives. One to pair with each plate. Is the knife that was included with the grinder different? I just figured I'd save it for backup or pair it with the kidney bean plate....which I'll probably never use.

    Considering Smaller Meat Grinder

    It will work, but not do a good job... and think if you try it that you won't think it's still appealing. Ryan

    My wife does the cranking on both the grinder and stuffer. We dont get the LEM electric out unless we have a 30lb batch
