Any quick responses?

I had posted this a while back, but just for reference, here is the 8 compared to the 22.

PapaSop Just one thing to consider, the 12 will work with the Waltons One Shot and the 8 wont. So…just a thought!

Thanks. #12 it is. Don’t see a 7mm plate for this?

Grimpuppy It’s always nice as a reference. The 22 says to the 8 “nice try kid!!!”.

Exactly! That’s why I refer to the #22 as " The Beast ".

[Jonathon]

PapaSop Nope, just a 1/8, 3/16, 3/8 and Kidney. The 3/8 is the closest to the 7mm…I was sure we didn’t have a 7mm but I found https://waltons.com/5-7mm-plate-14/ is actually here.

[PapaSop]

Order placed. Thanks for the replies.

PapaSop I have a #22 and a #12. Love them both. #12 is great for smaller batches, but still quite fast.

PapaSop Both my old #8 manual American made & newer electric one does pretty darn well when I just don’t feel like breaking the beast out. They both work pretty darn good for 12.5 pound batches & the old #8 has been in operation now for nearly 40 years.

Ok, so, was just looking at the One Shot. It’s a preorder now, coming this fall. My question is, did not see an option for what size grinder? Did I miss something here? How does one head fit multiple size grinders? Thanks.

[zbigjeff]

pepperettes Hehehehe Hehehehe Hehehehe

[Deepwoodsbutcher]

PapaSop kind of wondering that myself. I also didn’t notice a plate size? Maybe I missed it.

[Jonathon]

PapaSop and Deepwoodsbutcher Yes, we have it where we are only carrying the one size and it works for the 12, 22 and 32. Technically it would fit the 8 but it doesn’t have the power to run it. We have a product video coming out on that … well maybe today actually? I absolutely love the one-shot, makes snack sticks soooo much easier to make.

PapaSop and Deepwoodsbutcher It is live on youtube now, there will be a meatgistics university post on it soon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDLpL-ji_tM

[Deepwoodsbutcher]

Jonathon Thanks! I’ve seen a similar product, but if/when I have to replace my grinder it will likely be a Walton’s #22 or #32. This would be something I would definitely add on for the time savings. Would be interesting to try a “double” gind with it since when I make hotdogs or other emulsified meats, I grind 4x. This product has my attention.

Just watched the new grinder head. Man that goes thru meat like…goose.

[zbigjeff]

Jonathon Just watched the one shot video. What a “genius” engineering product. Yay for your 3rd party and internal teams.

[Jonathon]

Deepwoodsbutcher Thats an interesting idea. We tried something similar a while ago. I wanted to see what the wear and tear would be on the 2-sided knife and plates so I had someone put a 10 lb batch through it, then put that meat back through it, and then back through it again until we had ground 100 lb out of a 10 lb batch. If memory serves the person said that after the 3rd grind it was basically mush and didn’t want to grind.

Now, we didn’t pay any attention to the temp of meat because that’s not what we were looking at. Might be worth trying again and seeing if we can get close to an emulsification.
