Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Cabelas or LEM meat grinder?

I use the Cabela's 1 horse and do about 400 or so pounds a year with no problems. It has a #22 auger and feed. It came with 2 plates and a single knife. I bought another plate so I've got 1/8" 1/4" and something bigger, maybe 3/8", and knives for each of them. Keep the right knife with the plate and you'll eliminate the binding problem that you get if you swap knives and plates around.

Grinding tendons will bind up a grinder pretty fast as well.

Also, meat that is slightly frozen grinds alot better than warm meat.

Your Cabela's grinder is made by Thunderbird in Italy, if it's the one in their catalog with the round heat shield.
