<![CDATA[Estate Sale Score]]>I found this Hobart 18 inch buffalo chopper today at an estate sale in a nearby town.

It came with all the important accessories including a #12 grinder and a “pelican” vegetable shredder, which I will probably try to find a new home for.
Chopper blades were in good shape and the grinder came with a 3/16 inch plate and a brand new Zico grinder knife.

The drive unit looks like it had been sitting unused for a long time. When I plugged it in at the guys garage it just hummed. After getting it home and looking it over, I plugged it in to a dedicated 20 amp outlet in my shop. It started right up and ran as it should. The amp draw while it was running was under the name plate rating, so that’s a good sign.
Looks like all it will need is a good cleaning and I look forward to trying out the bowl chopper.

I also bought a small Enterprise cast iron stuffer which you can see in the background of the top photo. A project for another day.

JoeB Thanks, but my wife tells me I have enough hobbies.

That slicer would look cool on display in the man cave or the kitchen. I say go for it.

Those old manually operated pieces of equipment are mechanical marvels and works of art.

I have been looking for something like that for ages, figuring I could get something more heavy duty & better quality for a lot less, & the cranking will help supply some always need exercise, like walking & climbing these building sites, right. However, they are usually priced up into the several hundreds if not thousands when I find them. That is a good find. Same would go for manual coffee grinders or spice grinders. I wish I could find something like that around here.

I started a thread on this topic a while back. On page 4 I posted the spice formula I have settled on and an currently using. I am very satisfied with the flavor profile of the seasoning.

https://meatgistics.waltons.com/topic/3959/bratwurst-seasoning-profile-matching-trader-joe-s-german-brats?page=1

I haven’t tried making them with veal so I can’t comment on how the flavor may differ from all pork, but I am very happy with the all pork product and veal has kind of priced me out of the market for now. Maybe someday I will try it.

I’ve wanted to make weisswurst since figuring out that was one of the brats I loved in Germany. Jonathon had a nice video on them recently too, I think.

I’m on a plane so will watch video of chopper later, and am looking forward to it! Thx for taking the time to do this!

Also, I would love to hear what you decided on for your flavor notes, ingredients? There is quite a range Ive seen, white pepper, parsley, nutmeg or mace, lemon, sometimes ginger and cardamom… I haven’t been able to buy one to taste and decide myself. And how do you think 100% pork vs some veal affects flavor? Thx for any of your thoughts on this!

processhead what exactly did you make there?

Sorry, I edited the last post with more information describing what I was making.

It is weisswurst, using my spice formulation and an all pork meat block that was simply a pork butt with a little extra added pork fat.
After stuffing, they were cooked in 170 degree water to an IT of 158 degrees.
Then chilled in 60 degree water, held in the frig overnight, and vacuum packaged,

The video clips show a batch of weisswurst I made this week, at the beginning of the chop and at the end. You can see the change in texture as the mix is emulsified. The total chop time was 5 minutes. I was able to split the 9 lb batch in two and emulsify it in two 4.5 lb runs through the chopper. I really like the added capacity of this machine.
I also did the grinding on this machine, but removed the grinder head to make it easier to load and video the chopper.
