I have a 5# cast iron stuffer, I can't get it to work. I tried chilling the meat to almost freezing, too letting it sit for a bit, and it squirts around plunger and don't stuff like it should. Any help would be great.
I don’t have one, but I have read post by others. They say they have to use a zipper bag with a towel in it on top of the meat to assist with sealing issues…. I hope that helps you with your issue…ShoneyBoy
Yep I have an old enterprise stuffer, and it likes to gush stuff out. Another solution is to put a few pieces of bread on top that works too, you'll need the bread later when it gets down low. If you don't you'll end up with quite a bit of the meat still let in the hopper.
I have two old stuffers and one use to leak, do a search on ebay for enterprise stuffer and you will see a round disc advertised to put under the stuffer plate that will tighter and prevent push out. Also be sure that your mix is wet enough to stuff.
