i figured out how to attach my cordless 18 volt drill to my stuffer .  can do 15 lbs in a few seconds ...lol

i control the speed , the wife controls the tube , it goes pretty fast

You're gonna need a bigger fridge!!!!!   Wow, I'm watching this one for sure.

 a BIG part of it is going to freinds , i told them i would make it for them at cost , i am keeping 30 lbs of hot and spicy for me and not sure how much

of the mild the wife is keeping for her , but she told me tonight all but  5 lbs was spoken for .

That would wear my ass out just deboning and cutting up grinder ready.

I'm definitely wanting to watch. Any heat problems?

Wow Cal! I sure hope you have some help!

right off the bat i made a rookie mistake ,  we deboned and ground 6 butts last night and seasoned them to marry the flavor overnight

 then 1st thing this morning we started stuffing , the meat was waaaay to cold and that made it to hard for the cordless to handle so

i had to do the 1st 50 lbs by hand and it was still hard , today we have roughly 100 lbs done but not smoked , just plain ran out of room

 so the 1st thing i have to do Sunday morning is put a load on the smoker in order to get room to debone , grind and season the last 7 butts

so far the deboning has been the worst of it

i'm losing a tad over 2 lbs per 50  after deboning , so not bad there

That is a Herculean effort for just the 2 of you! I'm not familiar with your equipment, what size is your grinder?

Looking forward to some end results!

i have no idea what size the grinder is , its just a cheap one we bought from harbor freight , but it works great , no complaints here

 i don't cube the  meat,i cut it into long strips and the grinder pretty much feeds itself

out of 147.74 lbs of Boston BUTTS the bones weighed 7.93 lbs .  

i think its time to sharpen the grinder blade's  but i have no idea how ...lol

we have ground probably  north of 300 lbs  of meat since we bought the grinder . so i figure its time to sharpen them
