    Gander Mountain 5lb vertical stuffer + extras

    Selling a NIB, never opened Gander Mountain guide series 5lb vertical sausage stuffer. I'll throw in a LEM 606 3/8" SS stuffing tube (for snack sticks; goes for $15+ship). http://www.gandermountain.com/modper...uffer&i=401087...

    Matfer vertical stuffer?

    I reread my post. Yes, it's the 3l vertical. I'll let everyone knows how it works out. Retail pricing on it similar to LEM with metal gears. Thanks for the input.

    Matfer vertical stuffer?

    Long story but I have a chance to get a Matfer 6L vertical stuffer. They seem pretty solid with metal gears etc. But there is not much info out there. Anybody use one or have any experience with it? Thanks!

    New stuffer

    After struggling to stuff the snack sticks with my KA attachment (and yanking my hair out), I decided to look for a vertical stuffer. Gander had their 5lb stuffer on super sale so I ordered one. Anybody use one? Looks like the LEM, Grizzly, etc. so hopefully I can use those parts on it. For $80...

    Duck snack sticks

    It's been a while since I've posted but I wanted to share my duck stick smoke. I started with about 4lb of wild duck breasts which I ground. Then I added about 3lbs of 80/20 beef. After weighing the combined meats I added seasonings and tender quick. I used a combination of spices from Nepa's...

    Chicken success!!

    Rib Troubles

    Thanks for the help. The concensus seems to be that I'm running hot, but I ams also thinking that I have been drying out the ribs by opening/closing the cooker too much.   I am going to try my next cook with the digital thermo (which I have calibrated) in there. I will try cutting down on the...

    Rib Troubles

    I have had quite a journey cooking ribs; from direct grilling on a weber to indirect on a weber and now to smoking. I was getting great results using the indirect method, but now that I have been using the smoker, they have ended up a little dry. I like them but my wife has been a little...

    Newb from Northern Cal

    Thanks for the hints. When I try to get below about 240, I'm not getting any smoke. My chips aren't going to ash and I can't smell smoke (I put my face right over the top vent ). For those of you using a thin pan, are you placing it directly on the burner hole or are you putting it on the racks...

    Newb from Northern Cal

    Howdy all, I have been getting a ton of info from this site. I have been smoking for a couple years, starting with a weber kettle, then using my Genesis 320 as a indirect grill/smoker, and finally to my 1 week old Smokevault 24 (which I got based on reviews and recommendations from this site)...
