Sausage Stuffers 101... Need Help!

[ptt49er]

Timely thread!

Stuffing w/ the grinder is getting old. Thanks for starting this!

[DangerDan]

I researched the same topic when I bought mine.
I ended up buying a 15lb unit at Gander on sale for $109.00.

Thats where I got mine. Well made, plenty of stuffing capacity.

I ordered a Grizzly and it came damaged so I returned it and purchased the one Cabela's offers. The Cabela's (Weston) seems to be a little heavier duty and on sale. If you enter promo code xwinter at checkout you can get free shipping (good for a few more days).

Good Luck

I got the LEM 5 lb stuffer back in February. I'm real happy with it but I can't say that I've used it extensively.

Think i'm gonna order the LEM 5# at BassPro...they got a deal.. any purchase over 125 bux ya got 6 months to pay...not bad me thinks!

[Fireguy]

I have a 5# grizzly and love it! it appears to be the same as the lem, only cheaper. I have never had problems with the nylon gears. I wouldnt want them on my 20 #er but, for the 5#er it is more than sufficiant. Hope this helps!

Grizzly has an ebay store selling the 5 LB vertical for $69.95... a couple bux cheaper than on their own website. Shipping is $11.70, so that ain't too bad of a deal, me thinks... Just so happens it's the link that MossyMo posted!

Okay folks... time to get serious about this sausage making craft. I told Santa I wanted a vertical, 5 pound capacity, stainless steel stuffer. I don't want to invest a ton of money in one, but don't want something so cheap, I'll be replacing it in a year. I was looking at the LEM #606 - 5LB stainless model. Looks sturdy, but it appears its downfall is plastic gears...

Any recommends on what to get and where to find it?

Thanks!

I bought that exact stuffer from Bass Pro and it has metal gears. Works great!

[nickelmore]

How about this one?

Not meaning to Hijack,

But I was looking at this one. Anyone have one like it?

Yea I have that exact one, 11 pound and its seems very well designed and built. Stainless constructions with metal gears and very smooth operation. Its also 2 speed up or down which is nice.
