Going to show the smaller version of the meat mixer Kirby has developed. Sometime today i will be mixing 5 lbs for some teriyaki sticks.


The parts.

Metal rod that screws to the bottom of the base. This is for stability.
Mixing blade
Pipe that slides over the rod
2 ptfe washers
drill attachment that screws to the top of the plastic pipe. (Make sure your drill is in the forward drive)
Bucket with lid




Metal support rod screwed into the base.



Next slide the bucket down the rod. The bucket has 2 rubber grommets on the bottom to help support the rod and seal the bucket.
NOTE the locking pins.



Inside of bucket grommets.



Now twist the SS pins into the locks. Align the black marks and twist until you feel a slight snap.





Inspect the mixing blade to make sure the bottom is locked to the base of blade.







Now screw the main tube into the blade as shown.



Take the 2 ptfe washers and slide them down the metal rod. These keep the blade locking pins from digging into the bottom of the bucket.



Slide the blade/tube assembly down the metal rod as shown. Rotate the blade/tube so the blade rotates freely. If you hear scratching or binding remove blade and make sure the blade pins at the bottom are locked Photo B & C.

OK ya'll should be ready to mix .....Right


Fill your bucket with your meat mix. (I will show this later after i get back from dentist  ;D)


Screw the drill drive attachment to the end of the main tube.



Here is the bottom of the bucket with the locking ring.




Will be back later to show mixing.

Interesting indeed. Can't wait to see and hear about it in action.

Be careful about calling yourself and EXPERT! An ex is a has-been, and a spurt is a drip under pressure!

A little correction. the small bucket is 2 gallons which should do 12-14 pounds. the large mixer is 5 gallons which will do a little less then 40 pounds. I have done 30 pound batches in the larger mixer with plenty of room to spare.

I guess i wasnt paying attention again  ;D

Here is 5 lbs of teriyaki stick mix in the mixer.

Cure added to 1 cup water and the teriyaki mix.


How bouts some heat.



Found 4 lbs of 90/10 in the freezer so i added 1 lb of poke.



In the bucket mixer, looks small in there huh  :D



Yes i added the liquid teriyaki mix, wanna see if it leaks so to make momma not yell at me i put the bucket mixer on a pad.




Kirby is right, your cordless dont have the guts. My 19v barely made it. The meat was mixed for about 1 min 20 sec



WOOO HOOO NO LEAKS



This was the only liquid i found.



Easy to get the mix out.



Perfect mix, no red clumps of meat.....Now stuff it  ;D







Now smoke em
