Probably ran you $300 (at least) but you'll be giving that stuffer to your grandkids.

Just used it for the first time tonight. Talk about a game changer - my previous worm drive type stuffer would do 2 kg in about 10 minutes, with LOUD noise. This makes no noise and I had stuffed 4 meters of Apfelbratwurst* in, no kidding, 2 minutes. With time to stop and change some things around.
After stuffing only my third batch of sausages with my meat grinder, I may be looking into getting a stuffer.  I also realized that most people have more patience than I do.

I didn't have it shipped from the US - came from the UK, shipping was £10. :-D

And yes my grand kids will get it, but not until I've stuffed my last sausage.

Thanks guys!

I paired the sausage with a special bitter made with chinook and cascade. Went will with the 100+ temps...

And Corky all I had to do was not overstuff the casings and then twist every other link the same direction at least 5 times. Then you let the sausage dry/rest for a couple hours before separating the links. Each end of the chain get a half-surgeons' knot. I have taught myself how to use toothpicks to do this as well.

I really, really wish you guys would stop this crap.

 In the past 3 weeks The Tubercle has bought a 350 watt meat grinder, a bunch of casings, hog rings, pliers, etc. Made bratwurst and it was delicious. Just got through stuffing 5 lbs of summer sausage which is curing in the fridge. First thing in the morning I have to get up and start smoking them. I had to make a bunch of modifications to my smoker to hang the sausages.

Please stop. I don't have time to make beer now.

I can see right now the next purchase will be a dedicated stuffer. 8) Trying to stuff 2-1/2" casings with the grinder is aggravating. :o

Muahahaha...! ;D

I'm switching to bottles for a while so I can use my kegerator as a meat/sausage curing/fermentation chamber. Hello salami and summer sausage!

Don't be afraid to keep the smoker at a lower temp (around 140) for a couple hours just to put a nice smoke on the sausages with cure in them. You can then poach to an internal temp of 150 and cool in a cold water bath. Vacuum sealed they should keep around six months in the fridge.
