Just spoke with LEM today and they said the wide part of the tapered gasket goes down and the narrow taper up. I don’t know why they didn’t tell me this yesterday. Seems totally backwards however
I’ll give it a try on the next 50 LBS I have to due. If it doesn’t work I’ll be ordering the Walton’s 11 pound stuffer. Thanks for all the input this is a great community to belong to.

RE: Humidifier Mods ?
I have gave a lot of thought about this also and plan on trying it. I’ve looked into the reptile foggers and like that you can adjust the amount of humidity.

Problem with stuffing sticks
First time posts so bear with me.
I have an LEM 11 lb. stuffer which has worked well for 15years. My only complaint
is it came with a 5/8” stuffing tube which doesn’t allow me to slide the 21mm casings
on. I have to feed it onto the tube. I had a new piston gasket and purchased the Walton’s
13mm tube. When stuffing sticks the meat blows past the piston gasket. I reached
out to LEM and they were no help. So I thought about purchasing a new stuffer.
I was on the Walton’s web site looking at the 11-pound stuffer and noticed it came with a
13mm tube so I called to speak to a product specialist to see if they had any problems
with the meat blowing by the piston gasket. Unfortunately they do not and suggested
I reach out to the Meatgistics community for answers. So does anyone use this
stuffer or had this problem stuffing stick? I don’t mind purchasing a new stuffer if
it solves the problem. Thanks -

ND Mike I originally had a 15lb. and sold it because of this issue and LEM recommended the 11 LB. Never had troubles with the 5/8" tube.

RE: Cold Smoke Generator
I’ve used the A-Maze-N smoke tube for years in my home made smoker and love it. I’ve
been looking at purchasing the Smokai for a true cold smoke. https://smokai.com/collections/smoke-generators. -
