Snack sticks-learned something today.

Jonathon if I had to buy only one stuffer, your 11 pounder would be the size I would get. For most, it would be all you would ever need. The smaller piston makes sense as well.
-
Randyman I would definitely invest in a Walton’s Grinder! Kitchen-Aid just won’t cut it. If I were buying one, I’d go no smaller than a #22. I’d get the 11# stuffer at a minimum as well. Buy from Walton’s they will take care of you after the sale with any issues or questions that may arise.

If you plan on doing snack sticks make sure you buy one with a really good strong gear mechanism and the stuffer plate and gasket and that it has an air bleader as stuffing snack sticks requires lots of pressure and if the gasket is not good you will get lots of blow by around the gasket.

akdave I use the Waltons 11 lb. stuffer at the butcher shop daily. I used it for approx. 1 year prior to working there and it held up fine. When I started my job they had a Hakka brand that quickly stripped out the gear where the handle attaches. I have produced 100-150 lbs of sausage and 25 lbs. of snack sticks weekly since late August without a single issue using the Walton’s stuffer. Bang for the buck it is a good buy and built to last.

Making snack sticks is the true test of a stuffer and its quality. I now use a 1/2" ratchet as it is a lot easier to pull down than push up and that really makes it easier for the person doing the cranking. Just got my turntable and very large stainless steel bowl and can’t wait to see if that will save time on the sticks and eliminate one person in the operation. Going to place a Waltons order today for supplies for next week. Also my wife is in charge of Vac Sealing our smoked salmon and snack sticks and she has had great luck with VacMaster full mesh Pint size bags in our noncommercial home sealer. they come in package of 50 and only 1-2 non seals in a box. Cant wait till I can afford a commercial Sealer.

A chamber vac is hands above anything else! You will be happy!

Randyman Our 11 lb sausage stuffer just went on sale today, this is the stuffer I use all the time in our videos/experiments. The piston is smaller which makes turning the crank and stuffing a lot easier than on the larger models. https://www.waltonsinc.com/sales

Is it on sale through the end of the month? Putting together a list. -
PapaSop Yup, it will be on sale through the end of the month. I don’t know the next time we are planning on putting them on sale so grabbing it now is best if you can. Last year the only times this size went on sale were ThanksBlackMonday and Christmas sales. We don’t necessarily do the exact same thing and it is possible they get place on a July 4th sale or something but…if you can, now is the time!

Jonathon How long will the stuffer be on sale? I did a live chat with someone there at Walton’s and they couldn’t tell me.

Tex_77 Offer is a strong word… More like you and Jon were going to take it by force. I remember part of the whole conversation today venturing towards you or Jonathon standing over me in triumph, like I’m dead or something, which it will take my death for Team Orange to completely surrender to anyone!

Hmm. Was just thinking about the last time I heard the word parlay…I think Josey Wales took out the entire blue team in one fell swoop! -

Made snack sticks and summer sasuage last Thursday and had 2 things happen that I want to comment on, the first was on my 2nd grind of my meat and fat mixture with the 1/8" plate, things were going very slowly, finally I realized the mixture was too warm and I put the mixture in the freezer for a little while and bingo, it was grinding like I had my 3/8" plate on. The 2nd Happening was Explosive, My rebuilt stuffer has tremendous power and I got the meat a little tooo!!! Ice Cold and must have not packed the meat tightly enough in the cylinder and had a big!!! air pocket and had a case of Explosive Diarrhea, the force of the air release ripped the casing off of about 3’ of snack sticks on the feed horn and splattered meat all over the place, What a surprise !!
