    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.

        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

          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!

                        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!

                                  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 !!IMG_3535.JPG

                                        Had a chunk of frozen cheese jam up the horn and it came out the end and shot my buddy in the back, he went down like a soccer player!!! It was awesome…
