Got mine , right out box just hums. Brand new grinder just hums and trips breaker. POS so far. Now gotta send it back and got a deer on ice. Thanks meat ur maker
Thank you for the video! I just killed my two and a half year old bull and I'm buying this very same grinder April 3, 2023. I've been researching everything I can find in meat processing equipment for home use, and this 1.5 hp MEAT grinder is an American made workhorse. And from what I've seen from some of the comparable commercially made products, this one is half the price and hard to beat. I can't wait! Liked and subscribed.👈🙋
I have been looking for a good machine to mince and stuff meat but I don't like any that I have seen now I found this video and I have loved this mincer I hope that if I buy it it is really good as it is presented here thank you very much x sharing has been a great help friend
Thanks for watching. I broke mine out the other day and ground up some old beef roasts, an elk roast, and some mule deer steaks. I used some fat from a beef brisket and ground it into the best ground burgers I have had in a long time. Good grinding to you.
I have a thunderbird 400 series grinder that is much like this grinder it doue a very good job have ground 3 elk and at least 15 deer over the last 15 years a good grinder makes possessing so much easier.....
@@Sola_Scriptura_1.618 I bought my in March 2017. Quality is good. I have never had a problem with it. That being said, it is the only grinder I have owned, so I have nothing to compare it to. My only regret is that model at that time didn't have reverse option on it.
@Joe smith Thanks for the feedback! I have watched a ton of videos on meat grinders, and I have seen little reason for requiring a reverse function on grinders of any substance. I can see why a smaller undersized grinder would benefit from one but not a unit of any ability, but then again, I have never used one, and my conclusions are based on video reviews (-:
Meat is great products but that comparison to LEM was not fair at all either. You basically have the most expensive version of a MEAT grinder and the cheapest option of a LEM.
Just bought one of these and have not yet had opportunity to try it out, I really can't wait. I've been thinking of removing the try guard but I'm a little worried that the meat pusher would go to deep and possibly get caught in the auger if I removed the guard. I guess I could make a new pusher with a shorter stop on it.
Thanks for the comment. I did remove the guard from inside the hopper and it even works better. The pusher has a big enough end on it that it can't get caught in the auger. I did notice that when I removed the guard it was not very clean under the guard. This even made the choice better to remove it.
@@the_average_american7396 Awesome, I was thinking about just grinding the little spot welds off and it should come out. I didn't realize you were from Ak.....nice channel.
@@aktrapper6126 Yep, but we left to follow the kids and chase warm weather. I used a dremel and cut one side, then with a little force the spot welds popped right off. I polished it a little and you would never know it was there. I wish I would have had this grinder when I was processing moose. I spent way too many hours with a little piece of junk going through 100's of pounds on moose meat.
@@the_average_american7396 I can totally relate, I raised my family on Moose and Caribou, I've literally ground thousands of pounds on a hand crank grinder that I converted to accept a variable speed drill, got my thumb caught in it one time but I still have the thumb and I'm much wiser in my 60's :-) Thank you for replying and also the video.
What point are you attempting make? Is there something wrong with options? The LEM big bite #32 grinders are in the price range of $740-820 dollars. MEAT offers a #32 grinder for $600 and if you're patient, you may be able to catch a sale.
@@hunterpickard1297 Hunter, since you obviously don't have one ounce of common sense in the empty space between your overly big clown ears, I give you this link. czcams.com/video/rRZVBn4XLHQ/video.html&lc=UgzBmGuMn3PtLjFWxdl4AaABAg.9WMKRkB-KRu9hJ8ct7aPxH I'm hoping you can read and understand.

@@Joesmith-fu4ps well you're obviously the one with no common sense. The sarcasm went far over your head. So before you start calling people out take a look at yourself. Seems like you're actually the fool...
@@MrAaronGivens It is not meant to be removable. It is about the only flaw I see in the grinder. It is spot welded on, and it only took a little effort to pop the welds. I gave it a little pry with a screwdriver and now mine is gone. "Customizable" is what I call it.
Yes, i know what you mean. However, this thing pays for its self every time I get it out. It was a great investment. We ground over 300 lbs of beef a few weekends ago and it only took us a couple of hours for a double grind and to package all of the meat. Good luck to you and thanks for watching.
Thanks for the comment. MEAT! your maker is the company and the price varies on the size, and/or any promotions they may have at the time. Try this link. www.meatyourmaker.com/
Yeah I understand why it’s there but it sure looks like a pain in the ass. Maybe if they made the neck longer like other manufacturers it wouldn’t be necessary.
Nice review! Have you tried grinding any venison with it? We have a Cabelas Carnivore 1-3/4 HP #42 and it continuously clogs up and won’t feed meat through after about 15lbs of venison mixed with beef fat. We keep the fat and meat almost frozen but the fat still sticks to the inside throat and won’t let the auger feed the meat even with the plunger pushing it in, it just kinda minces it up. We constantly have to take it apart and clean it out and put it back together and it’s good for another 10lbs before clogging again. How does this grinder do with running fat through it?
I had that problem also, before I bought this grinder. Last fall I ground about 300 pounds of beef, and added 20% fat to it. I actually ground the fat first, then the meat, and then for the final grind I mixed the two together. I never had any issues. I did have a similar thing happen like you mention, but I was in a hurry and tried to grind some room temperature elk meat with 30% fat and it bogged down the grinder. But that was my bad, and I knew better. I do recommend getting a stuffer machine if you make sausage in links. This is a great grinder, but I have had issues with using it as a stuffer.
Thanks for the reply, and I’ve got my grinder on the way now! Looking forward to next season to try it out. And thanks for the heads up on the stuffing sausage.
Thanks for watching. I guess it's a culture/area term that I grew up with. But yes, when you start getting to the top of the hill and heading down the other side, years ago was just the other day, and years and years ago was back in the far reaches of whats left of the memory.
What model LEM did you show? I've seen a guy on YT using a .75 hp LEM and that thing just purrrrred like a kitten. Wasn't noisy at all. Where's the grinder made? How much does it weigh & cost? I'd be interested in seeing a side by side comparison of similar models of LEM, Cabela's, & your's. Looks nice, give us updates on how it works out for you.
The LEM died due to the nylon gears inside the grinder, as did my old grinder. This one is all metal. Side by side I would say they may all grind the same, but this company has a lifetime warranty. Cabela's is a grinder made by another company, then labeled as Cabelas. My son could not get the part from LEM, and both LEM and Cabelas only offer a one year warranty. www.meatyourmaker.com/process/grinders/
@@the_average_american7396 : Saw a comment on YT that 95% of Cabela's products are now manufactured in CHINA. Is yours made in the US with all metal gears? Plastic gear failure is what killed my (admittedly low end) grinder that a friend gave me when she upgraded. It was an improvement over my KA Mixer grinding attachment which made grinding even 5lbs a real chore. Not sure a nearly $600 grinder for my little 100 lbs a year grinding needs is worth it to me (at my age) but it *IS* kinda tempting. Love watching all these grinding videos.....but now I'm getting ads for hunting crossbows on YT. LOL...Oh well, I never was a girly girl. My favorite thing to do as a kid was hang around my hunting, fishing, shootin' daddy. I sure do miss him, even tho he passed 33 years ago. And thanks for your reply. xx Gina :)
@@ginawiggles918 Thanks again. I don't work for this company, or am I an affiliate. I just like the product and the fact that they are a small company trying to compete with the giants. I will support the small shop before ever going to the big box stores. I do fell this equipment is far superior to the others, and the customer service is top level.
@@the_average_american7396 : Thanks. It's good to have real people reviewing. These days Amazon reviews *CANNOT* be trusted. So many fakes.....from toys to underwear. ;-D
Thanks for your reply and for watching. For the quality of this product, the price is very low. They are always running promotions or sales, but the cost is right around $500.00. I looked at other grinders when deciding on which to buy, and in my opinion the others are not even close to the quality or warranty of this one. I have talked with there customer service, and they are awesome to work with.
FYI DONT BUY ANY GRINDER UNLESS ITS ON 30% off.I got screwed for $250 An only recieved rhe grinder.The rest of the order is not here yet they charged me for it.Customer service is always busy,an forget about waiting for a returncall.Your LAST IN LINE.But the 1hp is a good deal when offered @$350 w/for pedal.I got PORKED by da MEAT.
I think all grinders with larger circumference feed tubes have guards these days. Some people cut them off...but I've heard that invalidates the warranty.
I give you a thumbs down big time you never ever never run a grinder dry never ever it is metal on metal fill the neck before you start then when it is over do not let the grinder just run while you talk look around go get more meat just turn it off or buy a pedal for your foot
Hello, I am an Amazon seller. We want to give you the meat grinder for free, and you only need to leave a few product pictures, I don’t know if you want to.

A foot control is a really good investment... And the Lem #32 1.5 horse runs the same with sharp blade and plates.
But this grinder is about $300.00 cheaper than the LEM #32
Just bought one. Looking forward!
Thanks for watching. I broke mine out the other day and ground up some old beef roasts, an elk roast, and some mule deer steaks. I used some fat from a beef brisket and ground it into the best ground burgers I have had in a long time. Good grinding to you.
I have 3 of these. wonderful grinders! You will never want to use another grinder for home use!
To finish either run a handful of the final grind back through to make sure all the meat was ground the same or push some bread through will work also
bread here costs $4.50 nearly a freakin delicacy so has to be something else we can use other than bread
I have a thunderbird 400 series grinder that is much like this grinder it doue a very good job have ground 3 elk and at least 15 deer over the last 15 years a good grinder makes possessing so much easier.....
I feed the meat via a canning funnel. A lot easier. Just grab a handful the size of the funnel and drop it in!
Like it but have an issue with the feeder can that extra top metal piece can be removed it is annoying feeding it
Thanks for watching. Yes it is annoying, and it is spot welded on, so it is not easily removed. I dod removed mine without too much effort.
I love this Meat Grinder! I wish they sold it in Canada. I will be going with the 2nd best grinder, the Cabela Carnivore!
The Cabela's #12 (3/4 hp) is the one I have.

Meat is great products but that comparison to LEM was not fair at all either. You basically have the most expensive version of a MEAT grinder and the cheapest option of a LEM.
I noticed that too.
You cant compare a #32 grinder with a #8. Compare it with a LEM #32.

"I wish I woulda had one of these years and years and years ago" Is that longer than just years ago?
You try to give the video more brightness it will be great if you do
You do know that LEM has #32 grinder too and it performs the same. Your improved grinding time is coming from the grinder size not the brand.

@@jccullars1477 Yes, just caught that break and got this for 525.00 for the #32. LEM's on their site is 900.00
Meat your maker is also superior because of the size of the screw channel.

Use a piece of Bread to clear out any residual meat in the grinder.

Ice is a much cleaner option.
