I just destroyed my sausage stuffer making brats. I've used it a handful of times to make summer sausage but the smaller tube used to stuff the brat casings caused more back pressure and caused the frame to bend and the gears to strip. It was a cheap one from eBay. Any recommendations? I'll pay whatever it takes to get a dependable one, but if I can spend $100 and get something good over $300 I'd rather spend the $100 obviously.

Get a 2 speed especially if you do small snack sticks. If you allow the meat to set overnight outside the casing then I add a little water to the meat prior to stuffing. We do about 300 lbs a yr from snack sticks to summer sausage.

My summer sausage . I smoke until I get an internal temp of 160*. Waltons has a very good tutorial and very good products for making all kinds of sausage. Well worth the time watching especially your first try at sausage.

LEM for me. Might consider more water if the cure is binding that bad? Use the low gear, and only feed what the skin will take.

What size lem do you guys use? Want a larger capacity but at the same time want to do snack sticks. Contemplating buy the 5# and a large one?

10 pound. Can always add less meat, and when stuffing 100 pounds of summer sausage, I prefer the bigger unit.

I have the 10 pound unit. If I were to do it differently I would go bigger. I think I have run about 200# thru this year. Mine works but would nice to have more capacity.

Walton’s is the best, they have lots of knowledge on their website and all the seasonings are good. . Finished off 25 lb of their salami on the smoker this am. Sliced it thin for sandwiches. I think it was on there for 6 hrs in the large summer sausage casings. Make sure you use a thermometer and cool them as soon as they reach your temp. If doing snack sticks or brats you really need to go low and slow. Yesterday we did 25 lb of sticks. Cook to Fast and you will have tough casings.
