Problem with stuffing sticks
-
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.Ed Paone we just did 50# of snack sticks last month, no issues at all.

Ed Paone I did 10 pounds of deer sticks with the Walton’s 11lb stuffer recently and had no issues with blowby.
GWG8541 great looking sticks

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.

GWG8541 I always lay mine on the smoker rack but you got me thinking I could double the space in my smoker doing that. Plus for drying them that would work better than having cookie sheets spread all over the kitchen. Thanks

kyle yes sir. I smoke them, put them in the sous vide, then after the ice bath, back on the racks to dry overnight in the fridge.

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. ThanksEd Paone I use the lem 11lb. stuffer and make a lot of smack sticks with a 19mm stuffing tube and hope this will help.
1: Make sure the gasket in put on the right way.
2: How much water are you adding to your mix? I use 2 oz. per LB. of meat.
I have adapted the stuffing tubes that work an a Kitchenaid mixer and they work very well for both 19mm casings and 21 mm casings like for brats. -

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.

Got a question while we are on the subject, (sorry for a slight derail to the OP.)
When we speak of the diameter of the stuffing tube, Is it the OD or the ID in mm or inches?I ask because the casings are in ID I believe for the casing, but when you get down to a 17mm tube I thought it was in ID. SO are we using dimensions in ID or OD for which, the tube or the casing???
I’m just looking for a clarification, not my last rodeo and I’m still steering my last red meat into the corral and down the shoot!!
YE HA!! Get along little doggie!!Is it always ID for the Casing and OD for the tube?

Denny O I’m not sure but I do know the 19mm casing is a struggle to get on my cabelas 12.7mm OD tube. I’m not sure if they are saying my tube is a 12mm or 13mm. I’m assuming a 13mm. With the Walton’s 11lb stuffer tube the 19mm slides right on with ease. So I’m assuming that is a true 12mm OD diameter
