answer 1
Grinder designed for meat and not straight fat. Good rule is mix with meat at about 10% fat to 90% muscle. The fat will turn to mush and what doesn't pass through the cutter will naturally stick to the interior of the head like glue.

Try grinding your fat when it's frozen. that seems to work best for me. I will not solve the problem but it does help.

Put the fat in the freezer for about 2-3 hours before grinding it. Don't do all fat at once mix some lean with it to keep grinder clean if possible.

try spraying it down with some veg oil spray prior to assembly. and grind everything very cold even partially, very partially frozen. that may help...good luck!

I just ground up 51 lbs of deer burger this afternoon with my new grinder. I had no problem what so ever grinding up fat, silver skin, or anything else that I put through it. The only problem is cleaning fat out of the grinder head when you are done. I decided to put my grinder head, auger, blade, die and everything else in a big pot of water and boit it out. It worked wonderfully. I boiled it all for about ten minutes and then ran a brush through it. You will waste your time trying to get the fat build up out of the head, auger any other way.
