What kind of grinders do yall use to process your venison? Was looking at the Cabelas brand, and they look pretty solid and have tons of parts readily available for them which is a plus.

I have one that I picked up from Northern. Going strong after 10 yrs making burger, sausage, hash, relish, etc.
1 hp Cabelas I've had for 8-10 years. Works good. No issues.
Kitchen aid mixer attachment.
talk to me.
my daughter has the mixer. wife got the grinder attachment, etc. Trying to grind some butt into sausage and the fatty parts clog the mechanism. i was using the larger one, too. Completely ineffective. I stopped and froze the meat for about 20min. it didnt help much. I cant imagine freezing the metal part would help but I'm willing to try if it does.
What gives????
Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
Freezing the metal parts keeps the fat from “gumming up” as much. I’ve only used my KA grinder for cubes of deer plus a few strips of bacon for burgers. Never tried grinding pig for sausage.
exactly^
and once the cold meat hit the cold metal, the metal got colder.
it still got gummed up within seconds and i got pissy and threw things.
Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
We've run a Hobart for many years and I'd hate to estimate how many thousands of lbs of deer and pig went through it. 2 years ago we got a top of the line Cabela's and it lasted 2 days before the gears were destroyed. Bought the newer model last year and ran it 20-30 times and it did very well.
LEM. Used the stand mixer for years too.
2th is your blade making good contact with the grind plate?
We bought the one from Northern a few years back and use it for 2-3 deer a year with no issues. I don't think you could go wrong with Cabela's stuff though. They will replace just about anything if it breaks.
We coat the grinder blades with a little vegetable oil and also try to let the meat set up a bit in the freezer before grinding. Not using or adding fat though.

Straight ground venison is what we use the grinder for and responding to the op mostly. Not making sausage or commenting on such.
