    If it won’t grind that much twice it isn’t worth having

      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.

            That’s nice Joe Hell, i’m stuck with a 175 lb hobart at work in a non cold room at work, it’s a beast but it sucks for cold grinding and mixing. I’m about ready to grind using dry ice in the mix.

              raypete I tried my hand at the Thunderbird for the first time yesterday…not impressed. There is a safety mechanism that keeps triggering because the lid shifts during use which requires you to physically torque the lid by hand during the grind to continue operation. Additionally there is a gap between the mixer and grinder that extrudes sizable chunks of meat which creates a huge mess.

                      PapaSop LOL! I should put that as a motto on a shirt due to weight loss…killing it!

                      I’ve been thinking that a bench top #32 grinder will do everything I ask of it and keep up with demand

                        I’ve seen then, I get the concept but i’m not sure the meat is in the grinder long enough to matter. I’d bet having the meat very cold before it goes it matters more. I’ve never used one, just one more thing to keep track of and clean. I just don’t think the head gets that hot, I could be wrong, wait to hear some feedback.

                        I have the cool pack on my carnivore grinder. The purpose is to keep the neck super cool and allow the meat/fat to flow through it easily. I’ve used it on and then taken it off. What I noticed is the fat will cling to the walls with it off. If I start with a cold neck and cold meat, it runs much cleaner.
                        I like it well enough that I bought a spare to cycle them and keep frozen. P

                            Joe Hell I don’t know how you get your hands on this equipment but I’m jealous to say the least! Looks like a beast. I think I’m glad we don’t live near each other, that could be dangerous!!

                              Parksider Well…I just started a part time gig at a new butcher shop. Talk about hog heaven! It’s not much different than home projects but there is a whole lot of it and I get to dirty someone else’s kitchen!

                                Thanks for the info. Since my grinds are typically 25# or less and I put the head and meat in the freezer prior. I’ve never had an issue with sticking or smearing. Was curious on the ice paks though.
