    Thumbs up New Toy

    For years we've run with a heavy duty 1 HP commercial grade grinder to make our sausages with. Last year we borrowed a decent 10 lb sausage stuffer from one of my buddies, and it was awfully damn good handling the task it was designed for. Much better than running it through the big grinder again...

    So this year I set off in pursuit of something similar I could call my own.
    After a Cluster%@#& show at Cabelas requiring multiple visits and calls to their HQ, I decided to look elsewhere. (Sidebar: I have now deleted my Cabelas account, initiated in 1984).

    Found one at Princess Auto, but the price reflected the high end nature of the unit.
    So patiently I waited for it to go on sale.
    And it did. Last Sunday.
    And it arrived on Tuesday!
    Amazing service!

    So here she is in all her glory:



    A Beautiful Monster! 20 lb stuffer, all stainless including the gears.
    Just what I had in mind!
    My partner's tail is wagging HARD, and he's now encouraging me to get the damn tuna wrapped up so we can commence using this Beast!

    Right looking forward myself!

    Cheers,
    Nog

    Damn good thing eh?
    Put there for size reference, but I did enjoy tossing back thereafter...

    Unfortunately yes. It is extremely high end for that though, and it shows.
    Getting away from that, and procuring a US made one comes in at exponentially more cost.
    This one lists over 4 bills.
    I can't afford a G plus for anything similar.

    Too bad on the Cabelas issue, I have their 20lb stuffer and it works great. Except that the units with the horn 90 deg out the bottom waste a lot of product. I also have a 5lb horizontal and almost 0 waste

    I've used Cabelas 20 pound stuffer. It isn't half the unit this one is.
    Happy to have encountered issues with them over this now.
    Ended up with a superior product as a consequence.

    Looks good Nog. I’m still using a 40 year old Chop Rite Mfg cast beast. Nothing like turning out some homemade sausage.

    Thanks for posting Matt, I've been in the market for a while.

    Would you post a link? I can't get the Princess Auto site to spit it out.

    Yep: https://www.princessauto.com/en/20-l...t/PA0008858706

    Best price I've seen on these. Dunno how long the sale will last - usually a week.
    Was nine left when I ordered on Sunday...

    They didn't back then. It was all mail order.
