Hi guys, thanks for the great info. I have a question…I recently tried to stuff some 17mm Collagen casings with a 10mm tube. I have your 11lb stuffer and it was VERY hard to get the meat to come through the tube. So much so that I actually bent the tabs that hold the cannister a little bit. Is there another style of stuffer (ie. direct drive) that would be better suited for doing alot of snack sticks/small diameter items?
