Shoutout to the 90 pound mark, that's the number that got me to change how I trim briskets

Dropped $90 on a used meat grinder at a flea market in Fresno, and it sprayed grease all over my kitchen

Walked into a shop in Kansas City last month and saw them breaking down a whole hog on a 60 year old block, no bandsaw in sight

Swore by a scimitar for breaking down whole hogs until I tried a 10 inch curved bullnose last month

Update: dropped $260 on a used Hobart meat grinder at an estate sale in Fresno, and it just paid for itself
