Man that’s great info thanks!

I also echo to start with store ground meats. I started using store bought ground pork for a few years and made bulk (not stuffed in a casing) breakfast sausage and Italian sausage. The bulk Italian wasn't popular (prefer it in casings), but various breakfast patties is what I make the most and...

new here so I hope I posted to right forum. Curious for tips/tricks from those who grind straight through a 2” burger bag stuffer tube and fill bags at same time they grind the burger My current setup is a #32 grinder with the “loved/hated” LEM dual grind adapter. I grind a lot of deer burger...

Pairing the knives and plates is not as important as you might think. It’s a fine practice but really not necessary if the knife and plates are all true and flat.

Give it a try. I tried it a few times before I bought a dedicated stuffer. Dedicated stuffers are so much faster and they make it much easier to produce quality sausage.

Depending on how thick they are, I run them through my LEM cuber (tenderizer) attachment for my grinder 3 times and then either bread and fry or just pan sear. Make gravy with the pan juices and add maybe a combination of onions, mushrooms, and peppers to top. After making the gravy, sometimes...

After giving this more thought here is where I’m at. I too run the dual grind from LEM, it’s the #8 so same setup just smaller. I’ve had my auger plug on three different occasions and each for a different reason. First time I didn’t lube the rear auger bushing and the auger got hot enough that...

I really like my Lem #8 grinder, it's all I need, and it works great. The only thing you might want to add is the foot peddle, on off. I got mine on Amazon, I'll look up the brand, and put a link here. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017T2J2NC?ref_=ppx_hzod_title_dt_b_fed_asin_title_0_0 It works...

I did the same thing... have a 1 1/2 hp Cabelas grinder we use when grinding deer burger and bought a number 8 Lem for small batches. It works good for that. Noisier than I expected but it's not terrible. Ryan

KB, I'm not familiar with that model but I know you can buy replacement or different size plates and knives for a #10.

I got a Weston #8 home model for $35 ie not the butcher or pro series. It handles my needs as I don't grind more than 30# in a year. Personally, I would not go smaller than a #8 as you really have to knife the meat into small chunks to fit down the throast. I can direct grind in the fine plate...

Sweet!! Thanks

...it when I worked in the meat dept. at Winn Dixie many years ago, or tenderizer, as others call it, enough times. When I do mine with my LEM grinder attachment, I run the meat through 3 times rotating it 90° each time. But the fried steak and gravy looks great!! I think I'll try the breader...

Thats That's how I started.... moved to Kitchenaid, then Kitchener #12 and currently LEM #12

Big Bite? Does it handle the second grind (fine grind) pretty good? It's a bunch lighter weight than the others at like 28lbs. The others are all just over 40lbs. Not sure why such a big difference. Hopefully not plastic gears?

I have a 5lb LEM stuffer but they idea of stuffing with the grinder is appealing if it works

Those are some big machines. I cannot speak to the Vevor 30# mixer but I once had a "20lbs" hand crank box mixer and used it about 3-4 times, it only fit about 17 actual pounds of meat. Worst meat processing item I ever bought so I ended up just moving a using a rectangular cooler with a high...

Just need 1lb of pork, why get the heavy LEM out when I have other tools. This is a #5 porkert hand grinder. The wood pusher my dad made me back in 1974. The LEM #5 plates and blade fit the porkert, just lube the rear of the auger, blade and plate. Make sure the front cap is tight...

Man that is some great info! Thank you MUCH for all the details and advice. It will most definitely come in very handy!! :emoji_punch:
