Grinder recommendation please...

4ever3 · 01-27-2020, 09:41 AM

I need a grinder to grind 15-20 lbs of beef a week, don’t want to spend a whole paycheck on one, but I don’t want junk either.

Whatcha got?

I can recommend this one:

I use it to grind chicken for home made cat food - bones and all.

I have a LEM Big Bite #5 and it does a good job. I forget what I paid...want to say low $200’s

JohnH12 · 01-27-2020, 12:41 PM

Try Cabela's Carnivore series and pick the one you feel can do the work.
I went with the big 1.75 horse (#32) but the smaller ones work great also.

That's what I have and it's great.

Thanks all, I have been looking at LEM but didn’t know about the carnivore from Cabelas, I’ll check it out!

captndan · 01-27-2020, 03:11 PM

Check Northern Tool for the Lem. They had the best price awhile back.

Cabela’s 1/2 hp grinder here. It’s so old I don’t know if it had a name like the newer ones. It’s been great.

JohnH12 · 01-28-2020, 07:18 AM

One other consideration is whether it has a reverse switch. It's probably rare that you would need it but it's a real pain to clear a jam without it.

I bought a nice refurbed from Weston. Decent price on website.

BuffettFan · 01-28-2020, 07:35 AM

I have the #8 Big Bite from LEM I bought from the refurb page on their website.
Very happy with it, price was considerably less than non-refurb with the same warrantee.

PatAttack · 01-28-2020, 08:51 AM

Are you talking about the app??

Wow, Jeremy. I had no idea. NTTAWWT.

Just kiddin'.

Robert · 01-28-2020, 09:40 AM

I like the Lem products. I have the #8 Mighty Bite. I think the Cabela's look nice, but think they mark-up the price due to the name. That being said, Bass Pro Shop in Springfield has an outlet store for returned products. (417) 891-5375. It might be worth a call to see what they have on their floor or you can email the manager. https://stores.basspro.com/us/mo/spr...ll-avenue.html I picked up a Lem Stuffer for about 40% off new. Shipped to me and the box had obviously been opened but no damage. Also, go into an Academy store and you might find a good mark down on Lem grinder prices that they do not list on their website. So, might be worth a trip in there.

Good luck.

Robert

I agree with Cabelas.
