cdavis the flavor was nice. I did the Sous vide process with them after smoking. Worked out nice.

She had a nice snackers

processhead she got the butchers cut…

glen I used LEM for 20 years. Just needed to get used to this model. Thanks everyone for the help

I really like this stuffer.

I can report that alll I needed to do was slow down and unscrew the bolt 2-3 turns.

samspade it’s brand spanking new so I wouldn’t think so

scottfletcher haven’t done another batch yet

samspade not a dumb question. I’ve used stuffers from all brands. This was the first time I used this new stuffer. The directions don’t really show which way to put the gasket on.

I didn’t loosen the burper

I tried the gasket both ways

jfyoung45 I can try that

johnsbrewhouse I tried flipping the gasket between batches.

Tex_77 was making brats. Vertical 11 lb stuffer. I was using natural hog casing with a very lubricated meat farce. I was also using the “slow” gear

I should note, this is the first time I’ve used this stuffer. I left my LEM stuffer in the garbage and went with this one. So far, it’s not working that well.

There is a “burper” for air release on the bottom side of the piston, and the screw is on top. Wouldn’t it be a better design to have to circular plates to creat a larger “air burp” mechanism

The photo also doesn’t show how bad it was because I had already removed some before taking the photo

I had 120 ml of water for 2500g of farce. It was plenty lubricated.

I tried flipping the gasket between batches.

Meat coming over piston on stuffer problem

Why does my meat farce come so much over the top?

Jonathon

Thanks Jonathon. I wouldn’t be smoking the links at all. I would stuff fresh and vacuum seal.

Tex_77 that’s what I was thinking. Thanks man.

My wife LOVES breakfast sausage. However, she is not a fan of sheep casings or natural casings that I have used for our brats. So, what edible casings would you suggest for breakfast sausage links and bratwursts?

skibumben thanks for the article. I like it. I’m going to give it a shot. Also- I didn’t see in the article but are the snack sticks tied off on the ends? I usually don’t tie them off. Jonathon Parksider
