RE: Advice needed on home processing
DO NOT BUY A $100 ELECTRIC GRINDER. You will be disappointed and will more than likely strip the gears out of it. Go to LEM's web site and get a #32 hand grinder, you can get them for about $85, money well spent. It has a 6" throat, so you will be able to shove some meat in it. The best part is, later if you desire, you can add a pulley wheel to, with a cheap motor you have a GREAT electric grinder. You will have to gearyour motor down, but will some play you will have it going in no time. This is the set up I have, I have been using for about 8 years now and it is amazing. With the motor gearing I have, it is equal to able a 1 1/2hp and just eats meat. All total I have about $140 in it. I have done deer with a small hand grinder, pain in the butt. I have gone the cheap electric route, have thrown out 3 or 4 of them before I learned my lesson.
