    Older metal Kitchenaid meat grinder questions

    Thanks Dave. I did look on ebay, but didn't know to add the word "vintage". I will do some more research and see where the best place to put some limited funds.

    Older metal Kitchenaid meat grinder questions

    Thanks for all the replies. It is not mine to sell or give away; sorta 'borrowed/shared'. It does work pretty well for grinding. I will see if I can talk the wife into a dedicated stuffer.

    AMNPS question and some qview

    Back at smoking now that it is a little cooler in Washington

    Now that it is a little cooler and wetter in north central Washington, and we have recovered a little from the fires, I got the green light from my wife to continue smoking in the MES. I have experimented with cold smoked cheese, and it turned out pretty good. ColbyJack, Mozzerella, String...
