kyle yea that is a consideration… I am sure I would use one more often if I had it more then one month out of the year .

I have the #22 Butcher Series. It’s a beast. It will also run the mixers if you need that. -

Hearing rumors of Bass Pro / Cabelas possibly having new manufacturer OR eliminating them all together so even though I could get one from them its not sounding like a great investment.

processhead wanting a grinder… looking at #12 / #22… #32 is way to big as I have used a buddies… I will be processing 200# meat each year and will probably do that over a couple of weekends… I should have bought the Waltons when they threw them on sale… wonder when that will happen again… lol what do you consider a commercial model?
Ozgrams I have #12 & #22. The #22 was our work horse until I purchased the #12. We used to to an average of 100+lbs a month when everyone’s family was younger, still use it for the holiday making events. The #12 is now my primary, about 30 lbs/mo with no issues. Buy something solid and with a good rep. Lots of good input here from folks.

always get the best quality you can afford even if you need to save for it and you will never be disappointed

YooperDog and others … i know go big or go home… lol I am torn between the 12 and 22… if a 12 will run say 200# one month and then just as needed I think 12 would be fine as I have access to a #32 if I need to run larger batches. seems Weston and also LEM are front runners on the home front. I am still looking used but only if its a clean well taken care of unit . love the comments

Ozgrams don’t be like a neighbor though. Borrowed my #12 almost a month ago to grind up his deer, still hasn’t started. My sausage making is falling behind and he is running out of time. He will repay me with some quality craft beers, but he is quite the procrastinator. I am guessing he is hoping that I will come over and do it for him. This is his first time doing any processing of his deer, so I will give him a break. For now.

I was in the market for a #12 and had my heart set on a cabelas carnivore for the reverse feature. Retail new $399. I then found a new in box #22 on fb marketplace for $400. Bought it for $300 cash. Glad I found it when I saw how much larger the throat was over the #12. Now I can run larger cuts thru and the extra 1/4hp should push a mixer nicely.

I have a #32 with a belt pulley and 1 1/2hp motor. Built it 20 plus yrs ago and ground tons of venison with it. Love that giant grinder plate. Eats fast and efficient but can’t hook a mixer to it. So I bought the #22 carnivore. If I could get a #32 for the price of a #22 I would have jumped on it for the throat size alone. Although a #22 is bigger than I really need. I tell the wife it’s not always about need…

Probably 4-5 times a year. Went with the #22 just for driving the 44# mixer if I need to. -
Just found WAY more venison than I thought I had. Lucked out and found cabelas mixers back in stock. Supposed to b on the fedex truck today… the waiting is killin me! Have 30lbs of meat thawing right now

well went and looked at the carnivore since i do have a gift card and something about HAVING to have a cooler collar on it tells me its riddled with issues and reviews stating it can cook meat in the grinder. have no doubts its an ok grinder BUT i dont want to have to disassemble mid way… was going to get the #22 Weston Pro BUT saw Bed bath and beyond carries the Pro #32 and 20% off its same price as the #22… went big … hahaha appreciate all the input… did see a pro-cut #22 for $250 near the house but was missing tray and the gland nut and plate… mfg in 2019… sounded like a headache with a potentially great grinder …

Now your a rock star!

Ozgrams I too saw the #32 Pro on BBBY with a 20% off coupon and bought it. Will arrive Monday.
