Own processing done!

Nice! I finished my deer yesterday as well. Feels nice to have a full freezer again

[QUOTE=hallp82;11952468]OP how much was your grinder and what did you think about its performance?

I just bought the same one at Academy for $149.99.

OP, that burger looks very lean, did you mix any fat with it?

Try the bags next time for ground meat or pan sausage, much easier but you need a bag stuffer to attach to your #8. Nice Job!

Agreed with Duke! the bags are much easier!

I got the 12# LEM and love it...its a horse!!!!!

I love doing my own meat, can cut it how I want and no processing fee

[bakin7005]

I have the same grinder. Love it. So much better to process your own.

X2 on this. Used the bags for the first time this year, much easier than the vacuum sealer and cheaper.

Nice job on the deer. Processing is my favorite part, next to shooting. I see you bought a stuffer, those things are a life saver and product comes out better. I tried for years using the sausage stuffer on my grinder, but it just frustrated me more than anything.

If thats what you paid for an LEM Big Bite #8 you got a heck of a deal. I'd go kiss em on the lips! Never seen em on sale that low.

You did great. My kind of plate: meat, potatoes, corn and ketchup. Nothing else needed!

[SCREAMINREELS]

Looks good. Look into the bags for the burger next time...will save you alot of time. Straight from grinder through tube into bag...looks like alot of good food

[Horn a holic]

Good job man...Plan on getting a grinder from Santa and process my deer too.

[Patton]

Looks great! 7 hours isn't too bad when you look at what that costs you at the processor. Nice job!
