    Tex_77 I’ve always struggled with that concept much to Austin’s frustration but it really is good advice!

      I have a Kitchen Aid grinder attachment, but I would only use it on small test batches. I had to rebuild my gear head because it would constantly struggle until the gears finally failed. I have a LEM #8 & #22 and they never showed any sign of stuggle. On the stuffer I have seen some cheap gear setups that fail when put to the test. Going slightly larger or higher HP for me has been a good choice.

        JayFatCity I recently got the 11# stuffer. So far, I’ve only run 5-6# batches through it, and it works wonderfully. The piston just pushes it all down and through, no matter how much is in there.

        I got that larger size because I expect to do 10# batches after I get my recipes nailed down, and I do not regret it at all.

        TexLaw same here. I also got the 11# Stuffer. I love it and no issues. I do clamp it to my table with some c clamps. It pushed out and filled snack stick casings with no problems.

          TexLaw Always buy bigger then you think you will need, because you will need it someday, and will be cussing yourself for not spending the little bit of extra money. You are making a long term investment, treat it as such.

          Tex_77 I do tend to live by similar advice. I often say something like “buy it once” and “don’t waste all your money by not spending enough.” That’s why I’ve been looking at a #12, and even that’s pushing it.

            Used a Kitchen Aid for many years, then a #5 for a couple years. Then I came across this place. Immediate jump to a #22 Butcher Series. Best investment ever. Now measure grinds in minutes instead of hours.

              Jonathon TexLaw I just noticed that I too am running the 11# stuffer and the PK100. Waiting on the 32# Pro grinder to complete my operation!

                TexLaw I love the 22 butcher as well. I think you may like the stuffing auger tube on it if you are a solo operation. Very easy to grind directly into casing on the second grind. PapaSop did convince me to put the grinding head in the freezer the night before…game changer!

                  The 2 speed stuffers have high and low range, high for refilling the hopper and low for stuffing, especially snack sticks which really require a lot of power. When you are looking for a stuffer make sure you check out the brand and make sure they have a good reputation and also an air bleed valve in the stuffer plate to help get rid of excess air when you are stuffing. Most all stuffers will make summer sasuage But if you are going to make small Diameter snack sticks it requires a lot of pressure. I have seen lots of good reviews on the 11lb Weston
