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...
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
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...
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...
If any of you have been holding out on nabbing a good grinder, now might be your time. I contacted LEM Products and they agreed to do 20% off sitewide for 10 days. October 10 - 20th.
Use the code SMF20 at checkout to get the deal. :emoji_sunglasses: :emoji_v:
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...
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...
No experience with Vevor or LEMgrinders.
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...
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...
...an option.
After doing some more research, I came across the Valley Sportsman grinder, which appears to be identical to the Vevor and LEMgrinders. 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...
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...
