    Hand Crank Meat Grinders

    The collar is actually a fiber washer that prevents the augur from digging into the metal boss that it butts up against.  With the kind of wear that this metal-on-metal rubbing can lead to, the resulting depression would shift the augurs position within the housing, pulling your knife away from...

    Whole hog?

    Probably it's the overall size.  For bbq and smoking a whole one, they seem to be smaller than one that's left to running around the farm for several months.

    WSM - Best Temp Control....Brinkman Pan w/Water, Piedmont Pan, Piedmont w/Water

    I foil my large water pan and place inside of it a disk shaped piece of foiled terra cotta, the kind that sets beneath a flower pot and I seem to get a good steady temperature, whether it's 145F or 235F.

    Hand Crank Meat Grinders

    Not true if you visit Chop Rite's website.  It's their #3 that's described as a food chopper, kinda' like the smallest unit that Universal used to offer.  (EDIT)  I reread the info a Chop Rite and it's true, their #10 is considered "...to chop Meat and Vegetables."  Sheesh.
