<![CDATA[sausage stuffer problems]]>When I’m trying to stuff summer sausage of snack sticks the seal on my stuffer pops out the top. I am not trying to go to fast or holding the casings to tight. Anyone else have that problem ? How do I stop that from happening ?

These stuffers are not safe and I have quit using mine because of this. My Lemm although smaller than I’d like works very well and the handle does not spin back on me when it’s let go. I have learned that bigger is not always better with stuffers, the pressure generated by trying to take the meat from a large 6" or so tube into a fraction of an inch tube is huge. All of my small casing is stuffed with a 5 pound stuffer. It’s a pain in the neck filling the stuffer so many times but much safer than the flying handle.

Sorry i gave it up now. it cranks hard and takes two c clamps to hold it to the table top. had this happened the first time i used it i would have returned it. NOT HAPPY now that i know what that handle can do when ur not expecting. i was stuffing along, which is a handfull in it self.

You want it oriented with the V pointing down into your cannister.

However, I think if you start lubricating it with something like white oil your issue will go away. If it keeps happening it is because of the gasket was stressed from being run without lubrication so it might need replacing.

Let me know if you need anything else!

Some times it works good others not. And the spring on the air vent seems to be fine. Could the meat be to sticky ?

First, are you using white oil or some other food safe lubricant on the gasket before each use? If not then that should fix your problem though you might need a new gasket as if it’s been run without white oil it might have been stressed beyond usefulness. The second thing would be the air relief valve in the piston, make sure it is moving freely and there is nothing interfering with the spring, if that can’t move freely it might be causing your issues.

Let me know if you are doing both of these things already!
