I make suet for the birds. I get fat scraps from the butcher. Will this handle fat with little to no meat and perhaps a little bit of grizzle?

I have not used it for this but it has handled everything I have put into it incxluding grizzle. Very easy process- nothing has stopped it from working.

If you cut the fat into smaller cubes and keep them cold they will be fine. However connective tissues can be difficult. Cutting into cubes helps but too much can build up. All you have to do is stop grinding , UNPLUG THE GRINDER, and clean out the blade assembly and you should be fine it hasn't happened often for me.

I am not sure. I never tried grind fat scraps. I did not have problem with fat meat. I think if your fat will be cold it will work. hope this will help.Benjamin.

I would think it would work just fine. Keep in mind that peanut oil is generally used for turkeys and that may be the best oil for this. The oil amount would depend on the amount being fried. Also, the wings will likely rise in the kettle with their lower weight. Leave plenty of room so an oil and wing runoff doesn't happen.

I have only used it with traditional style. What I do is keep the meat frozen a little so it will slice thin.

Yes! I've used it as a marinade on thinly sliced beef. Use a "tougher" meat.....not one that is marbled with fat!

I believe food scraps are ok so long as there is no meat, fish, poultry or oil. This product is pretty much rodent proof.

I have been able to cook some very good salmon, tilapia, and red snapper on this griddle--as for "meats," that's pretty general, but I would say yes to THIN meats. In other words, you probably wouldn't want to try to sear a roast on this, but for mostly thin meats (chicken strips, bacon, thin flank steak, ect) it should be perfectly capable. As for shipping, I have no idea.

I never happened to use it really because it does handle 25 lb. meat and I did not intend to process that much. So it is useless for me.

I purchased this grinder to do the same thing. I've had no trouble at all with chickens, bones and all. The manufacturer says it will handle turkey and rabbit bones and all. It is very heavy-duty and powerful. Though I haven't tried anything but chicken yet, I have no doubt it will work. I put the meat/bones through twice. Once with the large-hole die and once with the small-hole. You have to clean the bone pieces out to keep the meat moving through efficiently, but you'd have that with any grinder. I love this grinder and would buy it again.

I have had no problems, I just use the moist setting and it works great. I have done ground meat without any trouble. I have also done chickenafter it has been rinsed and drained.

Probably is the best answer I can give. We did a 5 1/2 pound chicken and wrapped it tight and it worked fine.

I have fried 3 turkeys over the recent holidays. The largest was 14 lbs. I used butchers twine to tie up the wings and legs after I had the bird upright on the spit. I tied the twine around the bird as I secured the wings and legs. This method may of inadvertently kept my bird bound up tight preventing the situation you described. I have had great success with the TF200.

If you keep the meat cold almost frozen it works better. Don't force the meat too much and it will do a great job. I use mine to grind chuck roast and pork butt.

Well, some friends roasted smores over mine recently and it was ok... Last time someone reheated some meat as a last resource and after some drinks, it dripped some fat on the black iron of the "bowl" (pit) and it was kinda hard to clean. If you don't plan to keep it superneat and it's just getting some flames on your hot dogs using a skewer or similar, I don't see why not...

1 pound, results are great if you can find 93% fat Free meat. I've waited until London Broil has gone on sale for $1.99 a pound, then have the butcher trim all the fat off...(You will still pay for the fat) then grind the rest of the meat into hamburger...With that approach you'll have some of the best Jerky you can make with this kit...

Not terribly, especially when compared to three-ply pans. It's fine for roasting, not so much for making pan gravy.

I have used it to bread fish but never meat. Worked well with sole and tilapia.

It's only for roasting poultry, and should probably only be used for a 3-4lb bird. That being said, it works great!
