Marc St Louis:
I've done a lot of meat grinding over the years., a lot of it for my grandmother who killed and butchered her own cows.  One thing I learned from her that helps a lot is to use meat that is partially frozen in your grinder, not frozen hard but meat that is frozen but still pliable.  You can easily grind the gristle and fat when the meat is partially frozen

Marc,
I just got finished doing exactly that,  I agree.....much easier frozen but harder on the fingers....... freezing... :)

Very good info Marc! I've heard about that but never tried it. I know if I cut bone in steaks I will freeze it till its stiff and not quite hard. 

Danzn Bar, try putting a jersey glove on then a rubber glove over them. It really makes a difference if you can get them to fit right. I normally need help getting the rubber glove on. Have someone stretch it out and hold it while you put your hand in it.  Patrick
