Stuffer question
-
knifemaker3 I was going through the very same problem for the same reasons. I just bought a vertical and made a 25 pound batch of brats on the weekend and it was a world of difference . no problem at all . I just set it up on a lower table to keep crank in line with my shoulder.Worked perfect.

Thanks! I figured someone would be having the same issues and made the switch and would give me good feedback. Time to start squirreling back the pennys to buy an 11# Walton stuffer!
Meanwhile…I’m still going to try the grinder to see if it helps until I can afford the upgrade. Been helping the wife save money for new sewing machine. Time for papa to get some new toys! Ha! -

Joe Hell Honestly I haven’t made a knife since 2006. Now I build rifles. Just still use the old name. I want to get back to making knives again, just can’t find the time with all the gunsmithing projects I have going all the time for customers.

knifemaker3 That’s an awesome gig you go!

OK First time poster but been lurking for awhile on this board now.
I have a question.
I have a cheap horizontal stuffer. This thing kills my neck and back when stuffing. I have had spinal fusion surgery in my neck and my back has lots of issues and well as legs and knees. Nothing new for most of us.
Would a vertical stuffer be better for my situation? I do own a good grinder and could stuff with it just never have tried stuffing with a grinder.
An electric stuffer would be great but out of budget and necessity at this time. I have tried letting the meat warm slightly which helps but then I get slight fat smearing. I’ve tried adding water and was also told to try apple cider vinegar. I do oil the plunger on my stuffer which helps some.
Thoughts? Would go ahead and purchase a vertical but not sure it will really help me any.
Thanks
knifemaker3 I don’t know anyone has tried it yet. but you might be able to use a low speed high torque drill and attach directly or make an adapter.
And also use the biggest possible tube which you probably already are. -
The easiest stuffer yet is the Dakota Water Stuffer. You hook a hose to a water faucet and one to a drain fill it with meat and close drain line and gradually open supply line and the meat comes out as fast as you can handle it. It just uses 2 little garden hose ball valves. Being from ND I was the person that put Walton’s on to these great stuffers back in the 90’s. You might need a second person to roll it up because it will stuff as fast as you want and it don’t care how warm or cold your meat is! Happy Stuffing!

fisherman43 that’s a good point, while it doesn’t have all the functionality this would be a super easy way to solve your shoulder issues, let the water do the work for you!

fisherman43 Ijust looked at Walton’s site and did not see the Dakota stuffer there . Go ahead and Google it and you will find it. There are also accessories for making snack sticks and jerky also Utube has videos.

Here is a thought to throw in here. (Hey, that’s a here, here sentence.)
I saw where a guy used his driver drill, with a socket on it to run his vertical stuffer.
Never tried it myself with mine. But I’ll put it out there to chew on.I find working my vertical is a bit of work. I clamp it on a corner of our kitchen island, and sit on one of the counter stools.
Works OK for me, with Arth Shoulders, Arth back, and cranky old man syndrome.So you might have what you need to make an electrical stuffer. Worth pondering.
I’m kinda drools about a push button stuffer. Or one with a foot switch. :ok_hand_medium-light_skin_tone:

I had a Dakota stuffer, it didn’t work as well as my vertical stuffer. They made a foot control for them at one time to control the water, but at the price, the vertical does a better job, holds more product and I can run it easily as well.
