LEM Dual Grind

[RS3579]

Anyone have any experience with the LEM Dual Grind attachment. I’m interested but looking for real users experience. I have the #12 grinder.

We purchased a dual grind and the cast blade broke on the first use. Returned it and purchased a single grind. The dual grind’s slight increase in grinding output didn’t justify the price. And it broke!

I love my dual grind model. Obviously mine didn’t break though. Went through two cows in an hour. The only steaks we cut were back straps and tender loin. Saves a ton of time.

My question is when dual grinding how does one add suet? I typically add it in my corse grind, then mix it in tubs and then do my final grind right into burger bags.

Yeah I’m quick and dirty. I like it lean, so I just add suet with the cubed meat in the top hopper. So I get some coming out at 10-5 percent on average. But I don’t care.

I have the LEM dual grind #8.

Did 165lbs of elk burger yesterday in under 3 hours from start to finish. #12 would be faster but it works fine and I like going slower to double check the cleanliness of the meat before feeding. I freeze in 7lb bags and then pre weight all suet per bag and go. It’s slick.
And my time included chamber vac sealing which is 45 sec + per bag. I’m pleased and would never go back to single grind.

I’ve had this same question about the double grind features seems. I also grind all my suet and meat separate mix and then run through one more time with the same plate. I don’t use the smaller plate any more.
If doing sausages i also like to add my seasonings before my second time through the grinder.
