    Grinder

    What grinder do most use to grind up deer meat? I have a little cheap Cabelas grinder and it takes hours to grind 50 pounds of meat.

    I just take mine to the locker and have them grind it and package it.

    I have gone through two of the cheaper Cabelas grinders with plastic gears. This year I bought their 1/2 hp Carnivore Grinder. It's the smallest, and cheapest, of that line but so far has worked great.

    Just get an LEM. I wore out two of the cheap ones and now have an LEM and it's MUCH more quiet and night/day on quality. I think mine is 3/4 HP and it's a beast, literally grinds about 10 times faster than my old cheap one.

    Update. Bought the Number 8 half horsepower grinder and used ti a couple days ago. Worked great. Just make sure the meat is very cold, almost frozen. I separated the meat into lugs and stored in the freezer until ready for grinding.
