Meat Grinder Size
I am getting back into sausage making and already have a 10# sausage stuffer but sold my LEM #12 grinder when I was thinking I was going to be moving.
I am not sure I need the #12, but also do not want to go with the #8 and wish I had the power of the #12. For sausage making, what size would you recommend?

I see that Waltons Inc is having a sale on their in house grinder. I have not used one, but it looks like they combined the positives of many others and made their own.
I currently have the Cabela's Carnivore #12 and would not go any smaller. I like the wider throat on the #12, so the food prep is less. Mine works well on pork and beef, but I have to semi freeze chicken to get a good grind. Seems to hang up in the auger too long. I like the idea of the "big Bite" of LEM, which I think in reading the specs, Walton's adapted. I am thinking about stepping up to the #22, but I am not grinding enough to justify the purchase right now. But the want is there. lol

I have no need for the Cabela's Carnivore #32 that I bought but "want" overrides "need" in my book.

With regards to the grinder, weight has to come into play. How much does the #32 weigh, cause moving my #12 from the garage to the kitchen counter is bulky to say the least. But when I see a #32 in action, the want pops up again.

In your case.... Why not just do the grinding in the garage? The Carnivore came with a collar that you freeze so overheating the meat isn't a problem. In fact I put the whole grinder section in the freezer the night before so everything is cold.
