Thanks to everyone!

Back in January, I started this thread:

https://pitmaster.amazingribs.com/forum/the-pit-mastery-program/hot-dogs-and-sausages/265153-frustrated-with-grinder-looking-for-assistance

I was frustrated with a film forming and blocking holes in the grinder plate. I got a lot of advice and, due to work, life, etc, have been unable to try them - until today.

I just finished grinding 5lbs of pork for bratwurst using all the advice I got.

IT WAS THE EASIEST THING I'VE EVER DONE!

I flew through the meat using the coarse plate in about two minutes, then (because the recipe calls for fine) switched to the fine plate and ground it with that.

NOT A SINGLE HOLE WAS BLOCKED ON EITHER PLATE.

It was SO easy!

Thank you everyone!

I will post pictures of the sausages tomorrow before and after I cook a couple for lunch.

This just shows what an incredible resource this website is.....

Just mixed the meat with the spices - its chilling out for a bit cause I always worry about warming the meat up too much when I use the stand mixer. Fried up a test patty - SPECTACULAR bratwurst..

Looks great! After you get the hang of
it you will be making your own often. Good job
