Good affordable grinder for sausage

I do...was just wondering how well they work

I have the grinder attachment as well as the sausage stuffer for the Kitchen Aid stand mixer. They both work pretty well for a multi purpose tool. I would not try to make 100 pounds of sausage at a time with them, but they are fine for the home cook. However, the sausage stuffer does not work well for boudin since the tube is auger fed. It grinds up the rice. You really want a piston type stuffer for boudin.

would like to keep under $200 if possible. got a masterbuilt 30 electric smoker so not going to be doing real large quantities. appreciate the recs

Have never grinded or attempted any of this before. Completely new to me. I don't hunt much, but usually have a deer or two in freezer with occasional pig mixed in. Im sure that I will be doing all the processing at one time though.

One of these days I will get into sausage making. What are some other seasonings that y’all have tried. I see the ones that y’all use, but we’re there others that were bad? Or different but good?

where do yall get yalls sausage casings? just ask the butcher at your grocery?

I get mine at Cutrers in Amite or Kings packing Co in Mccomb. A hank is about $18. That will do close to 100 lbs of sausage.

It’s been fine so far. I trim the meat of excess silverskin before grinding.i also run it through partially frozen. Not frozen but just about. It feeds better and doesn’t turn gummy.

They may go on sale now that hunting season is close to being done. I’d also check northern tool. They have some pretty good products as well. I have a LEM and it’s served me well. Their customer service is good also.
