- Thank you for watching! I was excited to finally open up the grinder and test it out. With the youth season starting this weekend, early doe next weekend, and regular bow season starting October 1st, we will be running this grinder often.
This will be a major upgrade to anyone who does their home processing of game.

You will be happy with Lem#8. I've used my Lem#12 6 years now, running breakfast links, snacksticks, summer and trail. And it has served us well, using it about the frequency you spoke if. Makes quick work over a less costly wattage power grinder. Parts are solid, and real good quality.
Mistake. You own a # 12 also.
We have done 7 deer this year and I can already see how much time this has saved us. Looks like it’s quite serviceable too if it ever needs it
I have the #22. Haven't got to use it yet. I'll still setting up my shed as a butcher shed for my own beef, pork, or whatever wild game l hunt.
Once it's done you will be ready to rock this hunting season
@@TheMichiganShow i want to butcher a few cows a year too. Around here the butchers are about a year behind. You can't get anything processed when you need it.
That would be awesome AND a feat in itself...something like that I'd love to make an episode out of since I feel I'd be in over my head doing it myself lol
I have a number 32 lem. let me tell you they are awesome
We put about 8 deer through it and couldn't be happier. You are right, they are awesome
That seemed to do well going straight to the fine grind. Why is it so common to grind coarse first, then fine?
I’m not sure on that one. I think I remember the Bearded Butchers when making snack sticks they said something about the proteins breaking down or something. I’ve never put in the coarse grind with the 8 deer so far
I had the 32 did 1 try with beef chunks booted down with connective tissue did not finish 1 load of ground cleansed it all up and sold it
That’s crazy, on a 1.5hp grinder would do that. That tells me there was another issue internally
How big is the hopper opening/feeding tube/throat size? Want to put in raw chicken quarters with no prep
It’s up at my parents at the moment but I want to guess around 2” diameter. Could probably get a whole chicken leg down it but not with thigh attached
Thank you! @@TheMichiganShow
Why are all the old American made grinders now made in China 😞
Production cost down, profit up. Unfortunately it’s how a lot of businesses operate without trying to find a better way.
@@TheMichiganShow I'm looking at pulling the plug on a LEM #12. Have you tried any of the aftermarket accessories or different plate sizes?
@@wcneathery3100 I have not. My brother has the 10 gallon (I think) sausage stuffer from them. Between the stuffer and grinder that’s all we need for processing animals and making sticks and summer sausage.
@@wcneathery3100 although the dual grinder setup looks like a great option
Hey did you oil the inside…?
Food grade silicone spray
Do you know if this will grind chicken leg quarters with the bone? I am LITERALLY "this close" to pulling the plug and getting this. We have a dog and I don't wanna spend too much
Good question! I could attempt to throw a chicken leg in mine to see how it handles. Doing a raw diet with your pup?
And sorry for the late reply...just showed up now as a notification, I apologize!
@@TheMichiganShow hey!! I actually purchased the #12 and it takes bone like butter, it works flawlessly!
@@TheMichiganShow no worries at all, I understand! Thanks for helping me out!
@@myheadofhair boom!! That’s great to hear!
what's the dimension and weight of this beast please
It definitely is a beast. I will be able to get those dims for you tomorrow when it’s back in my possession
Sorry for the delay. It is 20-1/4" x 9-1/8" x 16" and weighs around 33lbs. Hope that helps you
@@TheMichiganShow this would help me a lot thanks
Makes you wonder what the rich people are eating??
Fillet Mignon from corn fed beef
@@TheMichiganShow I'll take the deer burger steak! LOL
@chrisbarr5289 every single time!
I bought the #32 a year ago at the end of the season. I ran 2 deer through it this fall and really love it. Just ordered the tenderizer last night. I love running the back straps into cube steaks. I hope I like it as well. I've run my deer at my neighbors for 25 years but our schedule's don't always line up perfectly so it was time to get my own stuff. I know the more I get established the more I will run for family/friends.
Last year was the big investment. Tenderizer and meat lugs this year. Maybe sausage stuffer and mixer next year??
I enjoyed your video. Take care.
@chrisbarr5289 that’s awesome! We got the 11pb stuffer for snack sticks and summer sausage. We need to add a meat slicer for jerky and a mixer for when we do 30lb batches of snack sticks. Thank you for watching, slowly getting better
