Vertical sausage stuffer???

[chola]

Anybody know of a source for them in Canada that won't break the bank?
I thinking $300 max.
Home built ideas are also welcome

I am looking for a hand crank type of setup,not the horn type.

I looked at quite a few in the US but lots of them won't ship to Canada.

I would prefer to stay away from E bay as well,will use them as a last resort.

Thanks for any help

This is what I am after....

I am not that familliar with vertical stuffers .When I was getting set up to make my own I did quite a bit of researching .What I found with stuffers like you have in the picture was that alot of people had problems with the plastic gears wearing out very quickly and then not being able to find parts to repair them.

I would have preffered a vertical stuffer as well but price was also an issue for me .

I found a brand new Cabelas horizontal 6lber on ebay for $35 and it works awesome .I can see how a vertical would be a little nicer because it would take up a little less space.

A fellow at work just bought one from stuffers.They seem to be the go to people for anything sausage related.Just Google them .Good luck!

OK...thanks very much

I have an Enterprise verticle stuffer, it takes 4 qt's (10lb of meat) and cranks out sausage real good. Have look on Ebay, they are cast iron and tough as hell. Even thought about selling mine as I now have an electric grinder that is dual purpose.

I bought mine from northern tool .com. It was under 200 for a vertical 15lb stuffer. They are 199us right now, they were 165 on sale when I bought mine.

I bought a nice stainless steel vertical stuffer from SIR mailorder out of Winnipeg a while back. I can't remember exactly, but it was about $150, which was considerably cheaper than any other vertical stuffers I could find. It is a LEM brand, which is a popular make with hunters. I have used it to make about 75 LBS of sausage to date. It works very well and is easy to use, with no real effort at all required to turn the crank.

SIR has since been bought out by Cabela's. I think this model (http://www.cabelas.ca/show_prod.php?product_id=806574&cat_id=16&subcat_id=145&PHPSESSID=isv4ctq3pjfucubm57dn8phst4) is what I have. I saw the same stuffer on sale for $140 at Princess Auto mid-winter, once hunting season was long over, but the regular price was more than SIR was. Hope this gets you started.

Check this out -I was thinking of getting one myself , had seen some decent reviews on a couple of smoking and sausage making forums

That is the stuffer that I own. I have only used it once so far on a 50lb batch. It worked well as my previous was 5lb horizontal and when making large amounts it took a lot of reloading to get the job done. There is no plastic parts other than the stuffer horns and very solid.

hmmm get quality it will last...I was made a "present" of a $1000 vertical stuffer from Germany.."DICK" amazing quality..but vertical is the way to go..

cheers

I was shocked to find them at Princess Auto! Cheap. They were out of stock in Vancouver but you might have better luck your way.
P.S. They had a fair amount of hunting/ meat processing stuff. Unreal prices.
Good luck

Try Halford Hides out of Edmonton 780-474-4989 or Wild West Seasonings in Manitoba 209-992-2105. The Dakotah water powered stuffers are really nice though I don't know if they make a vertical one yet. Also the Dakotah jerkey attachments are really cool, I have one on order for my Tre Spade stuffer.

I bought an LEM stuffer....on it's way now.
I didn't want the plastic gears and found one there with the Steel gears....
They have an excellent warranty as well,that was a huge deciding factor

Thanks for all the help

[lip_ripper00]

I have never quiet understood why a "vertical" stuffer is the stuffer of choice, pushing something horizontal in the direction it's going seams to make more sense :confused:. looks like a good deal, just beware of plastic gears

I did not see the "excluding Canada" part but scrolled down to find this:

QUESTIONS ABOUT CANADIAN ORDERS

For example, if your order total is $250 we will discount it by $25, the amount that UPS will charge you for brokerage on the order. For Internet orders, you order total will be adjusted and sent to you via email by our Customer Service department. It's that easy!
All brokerage costs are separate from duties and taxes charged by the Canadian Government on most imported products, which will be collected by UPS upon delivery for small parcels, or prior to delivery for freight shipments. There is no charge for Bond Fees or COD Fees.

We accept payments by credit card, if we are able to obtain electronic verification of the cardholder's billing address when we authorize the card through our payment processor. Credit cards issued by banks located in the United States usually provide this 'AVS' verification. Unfortunately, most banks outside the United States do not. If the issuer of your credit card is located outside the U.S., you would have to ask them if they provide the necessary information electronically. We will not accept credit cards without electronic 'AVS' verification.
We also accept PayPal, Money Gram or Western Union. Bank wire transfers are also accepted for an additional $30.00 fee.

Check this out, Lorne and I stuffed prolly 60lbs of the 90lbs of pepperoni we did this year with this beast. Pretty much the most amazing piece of kit on the planet, picked it up in CR for under 300.
