<![CDATA[Vertical vs. Horizontal Stuffers - merits of either?]]>One of the Brit sausage makers is always using a horizontal stuffer in his videos. Are there any particular benefits of a horizontal or vertical stuffer? TIA.

I plan to try some snack sticks in 16-19mm sheep casings soon, I’ll update when I do!

I can’t stand the rocking when stuffing snack sticks. Now, I am almost always stuffing by myself so if I had one hand to hold the base while I turned the handle that would be a different story!

Jonathon I’d disagree with that statement, it is much easier even with two people to have the horizontal stuffer we used clamped down, I guess if you aren’t using a water stuff, then the hoses pulling on it, it might now be as big of an issue.

My horizontal is just a 5lb, it dosen’t need clamped to stuff, but when you tilit it up to load it would be nice.

In general, I think the vast majority of them nowadays are vertical because it is a better design.

My horizontal is a pain to load. As far as actual stuffing performance it’s great!

I would think vertical would be much easier to load. Evening turning that water stuffer vertical it was still a pain to load.
