I really enjoy making the sausage and the brats, but, I wold rather dig a ditch in the Rocky Mountains than fight this damn grinder!:twisted:
I realize it is a cheapo but I have to be doing something wrong.
Took a pork butt and cubed it, small pieces. I am not sure there was a reason for that as only so much will fit down the neck at one time but I read it somewhere so that is what I did.
It was an 8lb butt so I separated it into two bags and stuck them in the freezer for a little while. I am starting out using a, what I think is a stuffer plate. Seems like I have to stop 4 or 5 times while doing the first grind and you dont even want to know how many times when I do the grind thru the smaller plate, which I think may be too small but it is all I have to the time being. (3/16 holes).
Should I let the cubes get to the point of almost frozen, or for that matter try running them after they are frozen? My grinder uses a #5 plate, is it just too farken small for what I am trying to do?
I am thinking about ordering some stainless steel knives and a larger, 1/4, plate for the grinder I have. However I am sure that once I get back to fixing hail damage there is a much beefier unit in my future..
Any pointer would be greatly appreciated. Um, one more request, please answer this quickly so I won't but drunk to get finished today.
