11 lb sausage stuffer

samspade

I’m waiting also. With my luck they were in one of the 2500 cargo containers that went overboard into the pacific.

So I’ve never used a stuffer other than that grinder attachment for the mixer, and my jerky gun (overzealous calking gun).
I need to up my game for sure!

How much meat stays in the 90* bend at the bottom of the stuffers? Is that basically full and can’t be pushed into a sausage?
Thanks in advance for any replies.

Elsos I’d say a good handful…just enough for a nice size patty to fry up and eat

I like to put my ‘‘left overs’’ on a nice homemade pizza. really like the summer sausage leftovers, best pizza sausage ever

Elsos

Thanks for the input guys! Is it not an airtight seal so you can back out the plunger and then push air forcing the remaining meat out?
I do like a patty though and saving it for eggs or pizza a good idea too!

Elsos no the meat won’t back out if you crank the handle backwards it stays in the elbow of the stuffer and usually the horn whatever size horn you have on

blackbetty61 My experience is opposite. I crank it hard and it pulls through my sausage stuffing tube with no problem. It doesn’t generally work on the smaller tubes used for snack sticks though.

Elsos my pile of junk stuffer leaves about 1 1/2 pounds of meat at the bottom that i have to put in tubes by hand. Not a Waltons stuffer

I got a Jerky cannon that will take a stuffing tube and load it with the leftovers. And stuff into a casing. You only end up with a little bit left in the stuffing tube. Fry it up for a treat.

Elsos

mdseaside yep, I’m only using a cannon for snack sticks, really a pain having to reload it after each pound!
I’ve done a couple rounds of sausage with the grinder attachment which wasn’t the end of the world, but it seems like that’s really not the way.
Seems to me that having a horizontal stuffer would be a huge benefit, I wish Walton’s sold them.

Elsos With the 11 lb it is about 12 oz or so. Now, that depends on how much water and other additives are added to the meat but it has always been about the size of a good chunky burger.

Here is what i did with my vertical stuffer. It came with a long thumb screw that held the stuffing piston to the long rod, so i replaced it with a bolt and then shimmed the piston down with large SS flat washers and gained a good half inch. Just make sure the piston does not bottom out. Cut down on the leftovers by about 1/2.

Jonathon

Yes, make sure the piston doesnt bottom out, that can ruin your gearbox. But aside from that, that is a pretty cool modification mdseaside

mdseaside : I did the same, works well
