    Just spoke with LEM today and they said the wide part of the tapered gasket goes down and the narrow taper up. I don’t know why they didn’t tell me this yesterday. Seems totally backwards however
    I’ll give it a try on the next 50 LBS I have to due. If it doesn’t work I’ll be ordering the Walton’s 11 pound stuffer. Thanks for all the input this is a great community to belong to.

        ND Mike said in Problem with stuffing sticks:

        Ed Paone I can tell you that the 11 lb from Walton’s is an amazing stuffer. I’d like to know how many lbs of sticks Jonathon has made with an 11 lb stuffer.

        Not sure Jonathon can count that high. 😂😉

              First time posts so bear with me.

              I have an LEM 11 lb. stuffer which has worked well for 15years. My only complaint
              is it came with a 5/8” stuffing tube which doesn’t allow me to slide the 21mm casings
              on. I have to feed it onto the tube. I had a new piston gasket and purchased the Walton’s
              13mm tube. When stuffing sticks the meat blows past the piston gasket. I reached
              out to LEM and they were no help. So I thought about purchasing a new stuffer.
              I was on the Walton’s web site looking at the 11-pound stuffer and noticed it came with a
              13mm tube so I called to speak to a product specialist to see if they had any problems
              with the meat blowing by the piston gasket. Unfortunately they do not and suggested
              I reach out to the Meatgistics community for answers. So does anyone use this
              stuffer or had this problem stuffing stick? I don’t mind purchasing a new stuffer if
              it solves the problem. Thanks

                I can vouch that the Walton 11 lb. stuffer does great with snack sticks. I did a lot of research on different stuffers and decided on the 11 lb. Walton stuffer because of positive ratings on it for snack sticks.

                    Ed Paone would you like to talk some specifics? First I want to ask is your LEM a dual gear stuffer? Next is on your process, you have specified on learning the correct position of the piston seal so that should help. As far as your batch what does your meat block consist of, such as proteins percentages, weight and distilled water amounts? Welcome to the community, the fun has only begun for you.

                                  GWG8541 nice looking sticks. Do you smoke them on the jerkey racks or do you just use them for drying. I have some of those and have never used them. Might have to dig them out

                                  hey vegetarians, my food poops on your food!

                                    kyle I have to smoke them on the jerky racks. I do not have a vertical smoker or hanging space.
