@ndmike Retired teacher. I had more time to dive into my sausage-making hobby, and jumped into charcuterie as a fun way to eat well. I sub at a local Tech-Voc, often in baking and culinary courses. Learn some, teach some, have fun. In between those, I tinker with my boat and gadgets. Cheers, all, from Winnipeg.

I also stripped the gears on a cheapish stuffer, but reworked the mounting system, took out the crank, and installed a linear actuator (12 v, 330 lbs thrust) with a transformer and bidirectional switch. Works great, now!
It’s a 5-lber, and I have a load of horns for it. Kitchen counter for size, lazy susan for sausage pickup to make it an easy 1-person job. Maybe you can do something similar.
Cheers from chilly Winnipeg!

jroby Don’t put them in a sealed container. Chill overnight uncovered.

Set your sv unit to 150. Put a remote thermometer in one piece, and keep the wireless readout handy, with the alarm set.
