I just started trying my hand at making venison summer sausage. First batch turned out pretty tasty. The only problem I had was getting the pork fat mixed into the venison. The grinder I have was a foolish purchase at Harbor Freight years ago when CWD was first found in Wisconsin. The thing is a POS joke. I'd like to get a better grinder that has metal gears but I don't want or need a $500 grinder.
I'm considering the Weston #12 model 33-1301-W. Anyone have or use one? Another candidate would be the Mossy Oak model made by Weston model 33-2001-GK. I'm making small batches of five pounds right now and really don't see anything larger than ten pounds.
So my process is using venison that's already ground and bagged then I grind the pork and mix it in by hand. If I had a better grinder I would coarse grind the pork and then grind the venison and pork together for the fine grind . Does that make any sense?
