The easiest for me is to upload to IMGUR.com and paste direct links.

What are the main differences in these two grinders? Is it just the outer cabinet or, does the FS have some updates I see mentioned on the larger capacity grinders?

Also, other than the smaller throat compared to the Weston, are there features on either that make them more attractive to a non-commercial user?

The Weston #22 offers a mixer connection but, I’m unsure if this is worth consideration. Also, since the Weston #22 and KG-12 are practically the same price, does this really make one or the other ‘better’ for non-commercial use?

I kill a lot of feral hogs so, I’m wanting to grind some of them in bulk sausage. I also want to make some of my own hamburger blends and at some point, I will start making meat sticks and summer sausages. Buying a separate sausage stuffer is likely so, that isn’t a big decision point for buying the larger Weston #22.

In terms of quantity, I don’t want to go so big I won’t grind 10#'s due to hassles with a cleanup or set up but, I also don’t want to spend all day grinding a 50# or 200# of feral hog either. I have the space for either unit.

TIA,

Yes, a 50# or larger grind will be very few and far between. That’s part of the reason I was considering the Westin Pro #8.

The Pro-Cut though looks like a tempting option if it isn’t a massively oversized grinder for burgers and similar things.

Thanks! That is a very good point about upsizing a Weston grinder.
