Serious question, did my grinder burn up from stuffing 40 lbs of pork sausage in one go?
Ran 40 lbs of pork shoulder through my grinder back to back on Sunday without letting it cool, and the motor started smoking on the last batch. I had to finish the rest by hand with a stuffer and it took forever, so now I'm wondering if I cooked the gears or if it just needed a break. Has anyone else pushed their grinder that hard and lived to tell about it?
