MEAT! 0.5 HP Grinder Review | Harry the Horse BBQ

[@Codyoutdoorsman]

I’m between the 500w and the .5 ho not sure which to get. I only plan to do a deer or 2 a year with it

[@harrythehorsebbq]

I bought the 0.5 HP when it was on sale so maybe wait for another sale to get a discounted price. I’ve been running the 0.5 HP lately to grind meat for burgers and chili and it is a beast! Will handle deer/venison with ease

[@breugel1]

I have one and it works great. I did buy a 6mm plate and am very happy with it. I have never found it wanting... I also have the 5 lb stuffed and it works great also.

[@harrythehorsebbq]

I am going to have to test out the two grinding plates and see if I need a mid-tier plate like a 6 mm. I am also going to have to make investments in the stuffer, mixer, and vacuum sealer.

[@breugel1]

@@harrythehorsebbq for small batches like less than 15 lbs I would hand mix ..less cleanup

[@harrythehorsebbq]

@@breugel1 I'll have to use my cotton glove liners so that my hands don't get too cold

[@breugel1]

@@harrythehorsebbq that's what I do.. I have arthritis and with the liners it works out good

[@SilverFoxCooking]

Where did you get the 6mm plate. I just got the grinder and looked all over the MEAT web page and didn't see any accessories like grinding plates. Thanks.

[@Philippinesretirement]

I believe the company name is MEAT YOUR MAKER. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

[@harrythehorsebbq]

You are correct! However, at the time of recording or even prior the website link was called "made with meat" so I was totally using the names interchangeably. Now, the website domain and the company are both "meat your maker". If you google "made with meat" the same company comes up.

[@Philippinesretirement]

@harrythehorsebbq Cool. Thanks for the update. I live in Thailand 🇹🇭 & soooo difficult to get them here. But they do have quality equipment. Just a learning curve

[@harrythehorsebbq]

@@Philippinesretirement I appreciate you watching all the way over in Thailand! That’s so cool to me! Let me know if I can help you in any other way! Good luck grabbing some MEAT! equipment!

[@ChadAmI80]

Thanks for the review. I've been looking for a meat grinder to make some homemade sausages

[@harrythehorsebbq]

@@ChadAmI80 absolutely man! I appreciate you checking out the video. The sale price was definitely worth it for this grinder. I’ve had it for a little over a year now and I’ve made a lot of sausages and burgers with it. It’s a great grinder for the size, price and HP

[@SilverFoxCooking]

Thanks for the review. I was just looking at MEAT grinders last week and was wondering what size to go with. Not something I will use on a regular basis like a restaurant, so I didn't think I needed the $700 one.

[@harrythehorsebbq]

I have been contemplating purchasing MEAT! products for a while. They are a bit on the pricey side, but after experiencing the quality first hand they are well worth it. Unless you are cranking out 20 pounds of sausage or more, you don't need much more than the .5 HP. I was tempted to go for the 1.5 HP, but I knew it wouldn't be something I would use every day. Having a grinder and sausage stuffer all in one is pretty nice too.

[@SilverFoxCooking]

@@harrythehorsebbq Well Mr. The Horse, I went to the MEAT page and told myself, self, if it is still 30%off, buy it. I bought it!! Thanks again for the review.

[@harrythehorsebbq]

@@SilverFoxCooking That's awesome to hear! I hope it serves you well! Let me know what you think of it. I will be featuring it in future videos as well

[@SilverFoxCooking]

@@harrythehorsebbq I received the MEAT grinder yesterday. Holy crap, that thing is built like a tank. It is built a lot beefier than I imagined!! Should last a life time.

[@harrythehorsebbq]

@@SilverFoxCooking it’s a beast right? When lifting that thing in my video, I wasn’t exaggerating haha. It should definitely last a lifetime if you take care of it! Enjoy!

[@piledriver141]

How big is the throat going down to auger?

[@harrythehorsebbq]

I’d say it’s about a two inch diameter opening leading down to the auger

[@brandonin_ny]

I’m gonna need one of these, Harry, especially with as much meat I’ll be processing in the future. It’ll end up paying for itself. Thanks, Harry!

[@harrythehorsebbq]

I think a quality meat grinder belongs in the home of every home cook/bbq enthusiast! This one is great for the at home application, as I don't think many of us are cranking out more than 5-10 lbs of burgers or sausage at a time. Let me know what you ending up buying! Hard to beat this 30% off deal!

[@brandonin_ny]

@@harrythehorsebbq I’m smoking a brisket right now and when I was trimming it this morning, guess what I was thinking? “I wish I had a meat grinder”. True story.

[@harrythehorsebbq]

@@brandonin_ny So funny! I just smoked a brisket yesterday for an upcoming video and I saved all of my trimmings for this new meat grinder.

[@jrf9198]

Need some sausage recipes! Brisket trim sausage would be ideal!! Just got my first grinder.

[@harrythehorsebbq]

Sausage content is definitely in the works! I will be running a test batch in a couple of weeks. Which grinder did you pick up?

[@piledriver141]

👍 thanks I’m trying to decide on what grinder to buy. Between this one and LEM #8 .5 dual grind.

[@harrythehorsebbq]

The MEAT! 0.5 grinder is solid. At the restaurant, we used it to grind over 50 pounds of brisket trim at once for chili and over 50 pounds of brisket and pork for sausages

[@piledriver141]

What about parts, maybe new cutting knives and plates after some years in my case. I don’t see a place/ site to buy that stuff? Last question I promise. Thanks for your input/time

[@harrythehorsebbq]

@@piledriver141 No worries, keep asking questions! I'll always do my best to answer. I know that the MEAT! website sells various types of knives, so you can check those out. I always go with simple Dexter-Russel knives. As far as replacement grinding plates, I haven't looked deep enough into the MEAT! website, but I am sure you could call the company and order replacement parts.

[@piledriver141]

@@harrythehorsebbq thank you sir you have been a lot of help

Looks good Horse! Breakfast sausage patties please!!! Love, Mom

[@naturalonenaturalone8996]

Bought a 1hp grinder w/ footpedal7 days b4 their sale .Retail was $635/ sale price $350 for the same unit.Custom service is a recordingmost of the time.Still waiting for the rest of my order that I paid for30 days ago hope they dont PORK you like they did me.Good Luck

[@harrythehorsebbq]

Oh man, I’m so sorry to hear this! Hopefully their customer service gets better and gets you your full order. Would be even better if they credited you back some money. The foot pedal is a good investment though. I’ve had the 0.5 HP grinder and foot pedal for about 8 months and it is a beast. Used it at the bbq joint I worked at and it tackled over 100 pounds of meat for sausage no problem

[@naturalonenaturalone8996]

Thanks for the reply.Im just trying to let ppl know what the dealis an save them from what Im dealing with. merry christmas@@harrythehorsebbq

[@saudkhan5353]

plz what is the price plz

[@harrythehorsebbq]

Currently, the price of this grinder in U.S. dollars is $499.99

[@peterelenbaas6060]

On sale now for $299

[@VillanuevaMedia]

Actually watch another channel and he also recommended a similar grinder just less hp. Might have to pull the trigger on one of these. I'm ready for some smash burgers Harry.

[@harrythehorsebbq]

I did a little research on this grinder as well, but most people opted for the larger 1.5 HP grinder or the 500 watt grinder. The 30% off was a major selling point and the 0.5 HP is plenty powerful for the home cook. I will definitely be diving into the world of smash burgers soon!

l leve in pakistan what is the price plice

[@harrythehorsebbq]

See the reply I left on your other comment

[@carvedwood1953]

Damn. Still 30% off, but about 100 dollars more expensive.

[@harrythehorsebbq]

I haven’t checked the website, but I know they are doing Black Friday sales up to 30% off. Still a great investment though

[@carvedwood1953]

@@harrythehorsebbq oh for sure. I missed the .5 hp dual grind, its sold out.

[@harrythehorsebbq]

That’s a bummer! I’m not sure what the advantage of the dual grind is, but the 0.5 HP is a solid grinder. I even used it in the restaurant I worked at to grind meat for chili and sausage

[@carvedwood1953]

@@harrythehorsebbq damn that is good to know. Solid review if you used it at a restaurant. and now it looks like it may be back in stock. what a rollercoaster haha. The advantage of the dual grind is going from cube to fine grind in one pass; rather than having to grind cube to coarse, and then running the coarse through again with the fine plate to get the fine grind. So if the goal is fine grind, you basically cut the time in half.

[@harrythehorsebbq]

@@carvedwood1953 MEAT! is having some pretty sweet deals on bundles for cyber Monday. If you haven't made a purchase yet, now might be a great time! 0.5 dual grind + hat + grinder foot pedal for $340. 1HP grinder + foot pedal for $350. Not bad at all!
