Q:
Weird question. What kind of set up do you use for grinding your deer into burger? We use a pretty good size grinder hooked to a bench grinder by a belt on a board. We found out the hard way a lower RPM grinder works better.

Nothing fancy, just the add on to that most common name of kitchen mixer. Could be quicker, but then I use it once or twice a year and it'll go through the 30lbs or 40lbs of ground I might need in a couple of hours on processing day.

Slow down on how fast you put the meat in. We used to have that issue as well. We put one piece in at a time and it flies through it faster and doesn't seem to clog as much or fast.

Now wait, I read all kinds of brand names all over these threads, but no one dares to spell KitchenAid? I just bought the $50 attachment, and cannot wait to try it. (Well, that's obviously a lie, since I could run some beef through it to see how it works.)

I just bought one of the .2HP grinders at Gander Mountain this year. It works pretty well...I've put 2 deer through it this year. To keep it from binding up, use the coursest grind cast first and cut your meat into 1" cubes before grinding. This reduces the length of any sinew and keeps it from gumming up in the rotating blade. Using semi-frozen meat will also helps for some reason. After your meat has gone through a course grind, switch to a smaller grind cast and pass it through again to give it a better "burger" consistancy.
