The wife let me get on finally. She got tired of me wineing all time.
The 11 lb. Sportsman. Made by buffalo tools. Nice heavy unit. I don't understand using the grease they leave/put on the ring and seal. Took forever to get it off. Felt like rear end grease then anything i would want on my sausage. Sausage stuffer.jpg
Sausage stuffer 002.jpg Oh well now to sneak next door and get horse.
Picking up some top round and pig 1rst of the month. Gotta try out some summer sausage and beef sticks.
First time ever using a stuffer always used a grinder with attachments. Hope this is better.

I still use the grinder/stuffer attachment for the Kitchen Aid but one day will get some proper equipment when I stop slacking and start taking sausage making seriously.
Can't wait to see some pics of your first batch off that baby!

Congrats on the new stuffer. Gonna make life soooooo much easier, and quicker.
I think that grease is some sort of food grade lube. Mine had a thin film on it as well when I got it. Prior to stuffing, I always take a bit of fat/grease from the meat I am using and rub it on that O-ring to help things move freely and not tear the ring up.
Look forward to seeing some links from your new toy soon

Well here i go with the new stuffer. I only got 6 lbs meat so i could try it out and see how i liked it. Not to mention that is all i could afford this month. 1st use of Sausage stuffer 001.jpg

I love how the sausage stuffed. I do need to clamp down the unit though.
Now the sausage is in the smoker. I have an elect element in the bottom connected to a temp control unit.
the Pellet basket is in the kegaque and the smoke is perfect. I could not be happier.
I use industrial food grade lube on my stuffer. (yet another of those things that fell of the back of a brewery )
Basicaly I put a very thin layer over the rubber seal before I put it away. Stops the rubber sticking to the metal of the cylinder. I don't use enough to effect the sausage. It's literally a thin smear.
I wouldn't recommend animal grease as that can go rancid in storage.
Looks like a nice unit
Are all the stuffer horns you got tapered ?

Now the next big improvement will be to get rid of the plastic tapered stuffing tubes and get a set of stainless steel straight tubes. They will make stuffing small diameter sausages a dream.

defintaley!! the plastic ones suck! especially when using the back of your knife to tap it and release air!! a good set of stainless are pretty reasonable from cabela's or bass pro :)

Yes they are tapered. I see by some of the following that some say the stainless steel horns are best. I never gave it much thought. Except that i could see where the meat was in the tubes. I guess i should order some steel tubes and give it a try.
I wish i could do more. I am out of SS as my dog found the last log. She seemed to approve of the mix and smoke.

I am assuming that the straight tubes allow the meat to go through with less resistance?????
How about the texture of the meat??

Yep makes life much easier - mainly in getting casing on the tube. You can't really stretch collagen like you can natural casing and once you start making snackstix you'll want to use collagen.
Doesn't have to be steel - I use plastic tubes at the moment. It's the same diameter all the way through that is the important part. And yep, being able to see where the sausage meat is, doesn't hurt at all :-)
