Any quick responses?

About to place an order. Looking for a grinder for smaller batches so I don’t have to dig out the #22. Was looking at the #8 , but I see the #12 is on sale. Also, any discount codes available?

[Grimpuppy]

I have an #8 and a #22. The #8 works great in small batches on the first grind. The second grind is really slow on an 8 compared to the 22. Five pound batches are not to bad. Anything over that and you will probably wish you had the #12.

I had posted this a while back, but just for reference, here is the 8 compared to the 22.

PapaSop Just one thing to consider, the 12 will work with the Waltons One Shot and the 8 wont. So…just a thought!

Thanks. #12 it is. Don’t see a 7mm plate for this?

Grimpuppy It’s always nice as a reference. The 22 says to the 8 “nice try kid!!!”.

Exactly! That’s why I refer to the #22 as " The Beast ".

PapaSop Nope, just a 1/8, 3/16, 3/8 and Kidney. The 3/8 is the closest to the 7mm…I was sure we didn’t have a 7mm but I found https://waltons.com/5-7mm-plate-14/ is actually here.

Order placed. Thanks for the replies.

PapaSop I have a #22 and a #12. Love them both. #12 is great for smaller batches, but still quite fast.

PapaSop Both my old #8 manual American made & newer electric one does pretty darn well when I just don’t feel like breaking the beast out. They both work pretty darn good for 12.5 pound batches & the old #8 has been in operation now for nearly 40 years.

zbigjeff the 8 says “I think I can, I think I can.”

Ok, so, was just looking at the One Shot. It’s a preorder now, coming this fall. My question is, did not see an option for what size grinder? Did I miss something here? How does one head fit multiple size grinders? Thanks.

[zbigjeff]

pepperettes Hehehehe Hehehehe Hehehehe

[Deepwoodsbutcher]

PapaSop kind of wondering that myself. I also didn’t notice a plate size? Maybe I missed it.

[Jonathon]

PapaSop and Deepwoodsbutcher Yes, we have it where we are only carrying the one size and it works for the 12, 22 and 32. Technically it would fit the 8 but it doesn’t have the power to run it. We have a product video coming out on that … well maybe today actually? I absolutely love the one-shot, makes snack sticks soooo much easier to make.

PapaSop and Deepwoodsbutcher It is live on youtube now, there will be a meatgistics university post on it soon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDLpL-ji_tM

[Deepwoodsbutcher]

Jonathon Thanks! I’ve seen a similar product, but if/when I have to replace my grinder it will likely be a Walton’s #22 or #32. This would be something I would definitely add on for the time savings. Would be interesting to try a “double” gind with it since when I make hotdogs or other emulsified meats, I grind 4x. This product has my attention.

Just watched the new grinder head. Man that goes thru meat like…goose.
