    I am not sure.

    I just don't have the machines to make the burger, or the beef fat to make the burger taste a bit better (they add it in so it isn't super lean). I really don't have the space and cutting table to keep the meat super clean and not get contaminated while cutting it into pieces.

    I have access to a vacuum packer but nothing like they have. and the packages for the burgers are an art in themselves to get the burger in there.

    The only thing I do on my own is take the backstraps, cut them into steaks of thickness I like, clean it and vacuum pack it. That works great. it is all the rest I don't know about.
    All I have in this world is my balls and my word and I don't break em for no one.

    You can rent a meat grinder at most rental outlets. cabelas sells them and so do may other places as well.
    Never use meat fat, makes the meat taste like shit.
    We make our own italian sausage and breakfast sausage.
    Lots of work but a few family members and freinds a few beers and the TV on some sports we are good to go.

    I'm confused. Did you mean "Never use beef fat"?

    I've heard of professionals using both beef and pork fats but the pork is the only one that tastes decent.

    Pork fat is better. Beef fat sux. Mostly don't use anything, can add bagon later for moisture.

    Hudson Lockers, in Hudson, does good work. They also have freezer lockers for rent. We have lamb in the freezer that is going on three years old with no freezer burn.

    Pork fat rules but most game processors have to buy it and it is the same price as ground pork.
    They pass this costs on when they use it and by adding it it can almost double your processing costs.

    Personally I like mine without anything added and if I need to make burgers I just add margarine or butter.
    I say lets all remove the warning labels and let nature take its course.
