External link removed? It was never my intention to direct anyone to another suppliers site. I was only interested in a piece of equipment I hadn’t seen before. Apologies, will not happen again.

PapaSop It’s pretty common on manufacturer specific forums to have the external link rule when relating to competing products and distribution. So long as the link doesn’t fit into that category it’s generally tolerated.
I could probably get away with posting a link to 6ranch.com for example because Walton’s has everything BUT the meat. lol

Seen these in a Cabela’s flier the other day. Seem like a great idea if your doing a large amount of grinding. Had some good reviews. Anyone seen or used these? Tried to send a pic but couldn’t figure that out. Hopefully the link is below.

Joe Hell Cabela’s ice pack for grinder is a waste of money. Put assembled grinder head and meat to be ground in freezer for an hour and then grind. I have done this and ground 75 lbs of pork butt and the grinder head is still cold.

PapaSop I had an old meat grinder size 22 and decided to upgrade. Bought the Cabelas #32. It had the ice pack. First grind it was a beast. When doing hamburger I grind right into the meat tubes on the second grind. The Cabelas was a big disappointment. Tried with and without the cool pack. Didn’t make much difference. The fat just balled up and the hamburger wouldn’t feed. I’m sure if I would have put the meat in the cooler overnight after the first grind it probably would have worked better. I just didn’t want to have to do a cleanup twice. I had the day and wanted to get it done. Wound up getting the old grinder out to finish the job. It worked fine. So much for upgrading. Took the Cabelas back.

doc_craig After doing the first grind I take the assembled head off of the grinder and wrap in plastic and put in the fridge and put the meat in the freezer for an hour or so.Saves a lot of cleaning. When we do big grinds of 6 hogs for whole hog sausage I put the grinder head in fridge over night between grinds. By wrapping the head in plastic it keeps the meat still in the head and plate from drying out.

I still put the head in the freezer ahead of time but was curious on the ice packs. -

craigrice I would like to have the #12 for sure. I have the #8 and it gets the job done well on 10-12 lb. batches but I’d like to get it done a little faster. With a #12 I think I might have enough time to grind 10 lbs twice without freezing in between. Hopefully?
As a side note…I’ve heard the #8 is noisy from other but coming from a kitchenaid it’s absolutely silent. Those mixers are obnoxious. I made 6 small batches of different brats this week and the stand mixer pretty much sucks. Lol. By the time your meat is in the casing it’s so battered by the auger that it is nearly a paste. So frustrating

doc_craig I do my own beef along with what wild game we get. I am all about getting it done when I get started.Have another now.A commercial type size 22, It works well but a little more finicky than the old one. I think these grinder manufactures need to take some notes from the old good ones and how they were built and fed the meat. My new one will out grind my old one but just because it has more ponys.

Picked up the #22 butcher series last fall. It’s a beast at grinding and quiet.
