LEM Products BigBite #8 Electric Meat Grinder, 0.50 HP Stainless Steel Machine

Bought this to grind chicken legs and thighs for dog and cat food. We also bought the double-grind attachment. The double-grind attachment doesn't work well to grind the chicken bones and make the ground chicken meat in one pass. We have to grind the bones first with the largest die and then we can finish everything with the smallest die. Some of the cartlidge gets hung right next to the cutter. We use larger chunks of meat to push the remaining cartlidge through the smallest die. Cleanup is fairly easy. We add eggs and liver to the grind, so there is quite a lot of liquid in the mix. The liquid will flow back toward the motor and run out where the grinding barrel attaches to the motor frame. To help with this I put a spacer of about 2.5 inches under the real of the motor to angle the grinder downward to improve draining. The largest batch we've ground thus far is about 65 pounds of chicken, beef liver, chicken gizzards, and whole eggs. Very happy with the new toy.

Have only used once, but ground burger for July 4th. It worked flawlessly. Ground 8# of burger in about 10min. And that was me getting used to it. Also got the dual grind adapter and foot pedal. All worked great! And my wife said it was easy to clean!
