[2thDoc]

This. What happened to your Uncle's processing gear?

need three phase 220. we got single phase in eastover...

his guy offered me a 7.5 fucking horse machine. would've been epic.

and...my uncle is in heaven cutting up cows for God and stuff. the fella that bought his shop is gonna set me up with the fat and seasonings. He sent me to Waltons, Inc to look at grinders. Pretty neat site for those interested. They have some mixers/grinders that cost $50k or more...

I don't do whole deer, only sausage that I make with lean burger from the processor. All I need to grind is the bacon I add. I have the LEM #8 and I can bog it down if I feed it too fast. It still beats the hell out of the old hand crank grinder I was using.

I tried using the grinder to stuff sausage but it really doesn't pump meat out very well. I bought a two speed, hand crank stuffer and it's much, much better. It would be nice to have a stuffer that mates up to the grinder motor with a foot pedal. I only make sausage occasionally so I can deal with the hand crank stuffer.

I also bought a mixer. It will hold around 15 lbs. of meat. This is a real work saver and it does a much better job of getting things blended than doing it by hand.

Making sausage is fun but it's a labor of love. It would be much easier if I had a big industrial kitchen. I have to store my equipment in the garage. After grinding, mixing and stuffing, then cleaning, boxing and storing the equipment, I get to start on firing up the smoker and sometimes even the sous vide. Then I pull out the vacuum sealer. Cured sausage has to sit overnight before its cooked so making sausage is usually a two day endeavor. I give it out as gifts but Bill Gates couldn't afford to pay me to make it.

Went to drop a deer off the other day at a processor in Laurens and a guy had gotten his hand stuck in the grinder and EMS was taking the grinder apart. They had to take the top half of the grinder with them.... Not a good day for that guy.....

1 hp cabelas grinder with cuber attachment and an old cast iron stuffer. Some plastic tubs from chef store. And some drugs from the kids whose dads didn’t show them how to skin a buck deer. Old plantation seasoning.

Feetdown on the grinder thread: “My grinder is awesome.”
Feetdown on the processor thread: “I take all my deer to the processor and don’t give a bleepy bleep what y’all think.”

Asshole.

Processor: How you want it?

FD: straps and loins whole, cubed steak, stew meat.

Processor: Ok cool, i'll call ya when its ready

For you short bus riders, stew meat = burger and sausage.

So

2fer shoulda called an engineer.

Just snatch the 3ph motor off and take it to Electric Motor & Repair. When you get there, wink at the lady in the front and tell her you want to talk to the foreman.

Show him what you've got and tell him you'll trade him the 3ph motor and 20lb of burger for a single phase with the same bolt up.

Done. And, you get to use your old Uncle's cool shit.

Whatever you get, a pellet from grinding goose breasts will bind it up and ruin it. I'm running the same grinder as dmatheny now.

I use one of these to find steel shot in ducks. Garbage disposals and dental work don't like pellets either.

Not to show off my “country arrogance” but what you likely have is a lard press.

Jesus finally gets to show him that hanging is far superior to that soaking your meat mess. I am glad for his eternal soul...

Used one like this the last time I processed my own deer. It's still around here somewhere for 'emergencies'.

When the day comes that I fully retire and have the extra time, I'll come back and read this thread to get a good grinder.

Good thread. Congrats, tooth!

The problem I have is the second grind. Always seems to clog up the cutter blade. Think fix might be to put first grind back in refrigerator to get it real cold. Any suggestions?

Why do you need to do a second grind? I only run mine through there once for burger and sausage.

It’s one of 2 things, either the knife behind the plate is dull and you need to replace it, or you left too much silver skin on the meat. I’d suspect it’s the knife.
