O / T: My Latest "Toy"

Post by IronNoggin »

For better than a decade now, my Partner and I have been churning out Sausage, Burger and so much more.
Through that time, we've gone through a series of grinder / stuffer units.

Kind of thought when we got the last one, that would be it:

Image

And it has served us well. At this point it has consumed hundreds upon hundreds of pounds of pork & venison, and in fact is still running like new today.

But as with Boats, Guns & Bows it seems we can also suffer from the More Horsepower affliction when it comes to grinders. :roll:

About a month ago, I told my Buddy I would likely be looking at latching onto a One Horsepower Commercial Grinder this coming summer - once I'm back working and so have a little jingle that is.

Couple weeks went by, and he called noting Cabela's in Nanaimo had that same model on, for Over $ 200.00 OFF!
Huh? Really??

Had to do a little "creative accounting", but once I determined that price was real, we Pounced!
And today I assembled this Monster Unit for the first time:

Image

Image

Man-O-Man! This thing is HUGE! 60 Pounds dry weight! :shock:
Methinks it would have little problem eating an entire Moose all by it's self! :lol:
This in indeed what I call a Serious "Upgrade"!

Now looking forward to putting it through it's paces. My Bow-Hunting Partner is planning on wandering over later this week, and dragging along the Feral Pig he shot last fall. Turning that Beast into a whole pile of Polish Hunter Sausages should prove to be a Good Test methinks!

Right Looking Forward!!! Image

Cheers,
Nog

Yeah Nog, thats a good one! dad got a commercial one gave to him and we don't fire that thing up unless we got 50 to 75 pounds of grinding to do. it'll eat it semi thawed! can't wait till you start using and sharing up your recipes!

You're about the fifth or sixth one to ask. LOL!
Really don't know why anyone would be interested - it has in fact run through well over 1,000 pounds at this point! :shock:
We're keeping it around for smaller tasks, movement between sites (this new one ain't likely to be moved around too much!) and "back-up" (although I sincerely doubt we'll need it in that capacity!). You can pick that same unit up on sale just now from Cabelas for $ 179.99 - decent deal for one of this size: http://www.cabelas.com/product/Home-Cab ... t104364180

That right there is sweet. For what I shoot, just deer, the small one works great. My buds have the commercial grinders and they are really nice. When I get my first moose I'll give you a call. :D
