New Grinder !!!

Post by fishindad » Tue Feb 05, 2013 4:50 pm

Got tired of the kitchen aid attachments. Basically a 1/3 Hp with the kitchen aid. Plus it was too high off the ground and it seemed to struggle.

This new one is a 3/4 Hp and should be GREAT compared! Got it on ebay for a great deal!!! Cant wait!

Sweet. I am still using my old $99 LEM grinder. I did about 30# of breakfast sausage on Sunday, and it took me about an hour or so. That was start to finish, bagging it, washing dishes and having a couple beer breaks

You guys are making me hungry. Cant wait to try this new one out. I have a pig I need to grind in the freezer right now. PLUS I want to make some duck sausage as well. I have been dreading using that kitchen aid mixer grinder. This one is going to make life so much easier.

Snack sticks are like whodini at my place. I make them and they magically disappear after my kids come through. LoL! I have to make them mouth scorching hot for them not to touch them....

Here's an old thread from when I made some a while back. It's a bit of work to stuff the casings, but they come out good!

So my son got to use the new Cabellas 22 grinder and LEM 25 lb. tilting mixer today. He made 100 lbs of sausage. 70 lbs of Ryteks hot Italian, and 30 lbs of Bruce Aidells Andouille. He said the grinder was quite mind blowing. Was done in less than 40 minutes. The finely ground meat went quite bit quicker than before and the coarse ground was almost done when he started. He doesnt think the meat mixer saved much time, but it was nice not to freeze your fingers off and it really mixed the product up well. Especially the Andouille, since it had Soy Protein Concentrate in it. I cant wait to learn how to take pics and post them

That grinder will probably do best with meat 1/2 frozen.
My grinders work fast to but its not necessary.
I have one grinder to restore- get the motor rewound and complete new paint that the 1/3 hp 1934 IBM
That IBM grinder grinds as fast and as well as my Cabellas 1.5 hp size 32 meat grinder. It might actually be a hair faster as i have never been able to feed it faster than it could grind it. Tonight My friend and i will be grinding and processing the 3 deer we killed this week end. I should have over 40 lbs of grind tonight. A 93 +83+148lbs deer so we should have about 130lbs of meat half will probably end up as grind.

I just made some slim jim type snack sticks about 2 months ago. I buy the edible casings from Bass Pro and then use the stuffing tube on my grinder.
Here's what I bought:
http://www.basspro.com/LEM-Products-Edi ... uct/36800/

It's a lot of work to grind, mix, stuff into casings, tie the ends off, and then cook. But, once it's done, they come out good! Just don't over cook the meat or they will come out dry. It's easy to do. I did mine in the oven and the first batch came out a little dry. The second batch came out perfect. I pulled them out when the internal temp got to about 150-153.

Kortsman you cant really eat those but they work try sheep casing. I have made plenty of hot sticks but prefer summer sausage.

We just processed 3 deer all but the grind, we have a good 40 lbs of meet or more to grind. we cut it into roast and chunks I packed 39 lbs in my freezer, My bud took as much and my other bud took about 6 lbs. We will be grinding tomorrow and splitting that up. Great great week end THANK YOU GOD. I still have a 43 lb hog to do.
