the last time i was stuffing sticks, my bleed must have not been open enough, it was building up pressure and when i let go of the crank handle, it flopped around and smacked me in the cheek bone. had that been my nose it would have been broken. i have the 11lb stuffer, i had a different brand before. gave it to my daughter, it was much thicker steel. 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.

i read the one reply, don’t know how to shut the unread box off

Very interested in using the Potasium Sorbate, where would i find this product, didn’t see it here, though i may have missed it too.

i have 1 more question before i go, i’m using the sweet maple bacon , Excalibur snack stick seasoning. made my first small batch a couple days ago. i need to find out the propler procedure working the bacon with the 93% burger. my first try i pretty much cooked all the grease out of the bacon and then ran it through my meat grinder with the burger and mixed. only made 5# total, couldn’t really taste the bacon, also i had daughter giver her opinion, she said she couldn’t taste the bacon either. HELP!!!
