Stuffer tube question

[Denny]

Take your stuffing tubes and go to a Lowes or lumber yard and buy a dow rod for each size. works like a dream.

Arod2015 Pipe Brushes are good ways to do it. Only downside is that it can be hard to get the meat out of the bristles sometimes depending on the fat, moisture and type of your protein!

Jonathon I’ve found pipe brushes are great for cleaning injection needles.

Tex_77
Yep. Same here.

I make a ball with a piece of bread and pump it through. It works great.

[Jonathon]

James Casford Yup, we have done this a few times too, can get difficult with the real small stuffing tubes but for sausage it “pre-cleans” the stuffer a little.

[Pivodog]

I’ve taken a smaller stuffer tube and wrapped it with plastic wrap of a ziplock bag and then shoved it into the larger tube that has meat in it.

[Jonathon]

@kchaloup That’s a good way of doing it actually. I usually just use a Pipe Brush but then I can’t use the meat. With your method, do you stuff it into a casing?

[Pivodog]

Yep, I leave the casing still attached. This was no meat goes to waste! It works well with a ziplock bag.

Arod2015 I use bread to push out the remaining meat out
