Cut the pork butt or whatever type of meat you're using into pieces that are small enough to fit into the grinder, around one-inch cubes. Cut the fatback into similarly sized pieces, and combine the meat and the fatback into a bowl. Sprinkle the meat with the dry seasonings and, working with light hands (to keep the fat from warming up), toss the mixture to combine.
