jakeanderton I have the same grinder, and same problem. Traced it down to the hole in plate where the auger comes thru. A little sloppy metal to metal connection. Nothing I think you can do about it. Like smokinbubba says, just pluck it out, and keep going. It does it even when I grind frozen meat, so I don’t think it’s a heat thing. If it is, it a heat thing right at that spot.

Steven Winscot Good luck with the smoker, I am sure you will get a lot of good use out of it.

When I got it, it came with the grinder and the vegetable shredder/slicer aka “Pelican” attachments.
I could not foresee the need for shredding that much of anything so I listed the shredder on FB Marketplace and sold it.
The main unit had some issues when I got it. There is a thread on Meatgistics about the work I had to do to it to get it working again. -

processhead There was one in the restaurant I managed, it had the potato cuber and grinder head, It was in constant use. Later I worked at a USDA inspected processing facility and the owner bought out the restaurant when it closed. We dismantled the coolers and compressors and found it stored in a back room, it still worked so we used it to chop cheese and make Liverwurst. I used it for almost 20 years and never had a problem.

Steven Winscot They are solid machines, literally.
It takes two men and a boy just to move this one. -

processhead I wish I could afford one, I have a Vevor I bought off Ebay, I do a small batch of Braunschweiger or Baloney now and then and it does ok for that.
