Sausage stuffers

[Would Rather Be Fishing]

In the market for a sausage stuffer... Any recommendations? Are the Cabellas any good? Lots of cheaper ones out there. Really for occasional "small batch" use only....

Any thoughts appreciated....

If you have a grinder, you can purchase a "stuffing" plate. Found I prefer that over a manual stuffer. Picked up a foot pedal from Cabelas to run the grinder with the stuffing plate to make solo stuffing much easier than a manual stuffer.

To answer your question though, have not had any issues with our LEM 5lb stuffer.

I have a 25lb from Cabelas, nice for large batches but there is waste from the vertical stuffers. l also have a 5lb Trespade horizontal for smaller runs and it has no wasted meat except for in the tube. Trespade are nice but you do pay for them.

I have a 5 lb LEM as well, great for small batches

Personally I dont recommend using the grinder to stuff. It uses the worm to stuff and can overwork the meat causing mushy product or fat run out. This is usually noticeable when stuffing small diameter casings.

^ Interesting, have never thought of that. What size are we talking when referring to "small"?

Check Princess Auto. I got 5 pounder. Works great.

Pepperoni would be an issue, brat size not as bad and salami would be easy. Stuffers use a piston to force the meat, using a worm gear only over works and mushes the meat.
