OK , Best stuffer by far.

You will not go wrong with the Weston. Mine is the 15# version and it is a snap to clean and has given me no problems thru many many pounds of meat. just my 2 cents

Do you use it to make snack sticks? I have great luck with my plastic geared stuffer for brats and summer sausage but the higher forces required for snack sticks is where the problems for me start. That's why I'm looking for a stuffer that is built the right way to handle this process.

When I first started looking at stuffers some of the Pros from here told me that the smaller the stuffers capacity the easier then snack sticks were to load. The larger the stuffer the harder it is to load  smaller casing. Its why those little pistol sausage shoots work for stix. I have had zero problems loading the small sheep casing with my LEM 5 lber. Its a pain to load the casing on the tube, but the casing loads easy.

Another vote for the LEM.  I really like it and use it a lot more than I thought.  Geeez guys youre making me hungry.

gander mountain has their 5lb stuffer with nylon gears for 69.99 right now. might be a decent buy for some folks.

Make sure you stuff comes with counter clamps.  Makes a huge diffs to ease of use.

I use workworking clamps, and have the stuffer bolted to a board. easier to clamp down.

I reccomend the Waltons Old West 11lb stuffer for larger quantities of meat.https://www.waltonsinc.com/11-lb-sausage-stuffer

It has held up real well and I put a lot of pressure on it sometimes...It has two gear settings a hi and a lo. However, For smaller batches I wish I had the smaller stuffer.

That's the way I have my LEMon Squeezer set up. The board is cut to the same width as the counter that I use. Clamp it to the counter using two quick grip clamps.  I coated my board in epoxy to make clean up easy and sanitary.

mine is the same set up  but instead of using wood I got a cheap poly cutting board , drilled and bolted it together so I can clamp it down. the poly is easy to clean and cheap at most box stores.

I just clamp my LEM directly to the countertop.  It seems to work fine.  Where those holes are drilled in the four corners.  I put the clamps over that, and then around the edge.  No problems so far.

I cant believe no one has mentioned the Grizzly.  I love both of mine.  I have a 5lb (nylon gears) and the 15 pounder (metal gears).

5 LB - http://www.grizzly.com/products/5-lb-Sausage-Stuffer-Vertical/H6252

15LB - http://www.grizzly.com/products/15-Lb-Sausage-Stuffer-Vertical/H7776

The 15 Pounder is on sale right now for 169.95, you cant beat that.  I have never had a problem with my 5 pounder with nylon gears either.  You just need to make sure your not cranking away when it bottoms out and I always add a little bit of water to my mixture.

Just my .02

I have granite and not very much land to work with as far as overhang, so I cut a pc of hardwood plywood the width of the area I mount it, used the holes in the base plate for carriage bolts, drilled holes,and tee nuts in the bottom for the bolts. I put a coat of poly over two coats of poly-shades on it. easy to clean and smooth surface. the wood clamps are the quick clamp variety and it takes a couple seconds to install them.

Does anyone have any experience with this one:

I am completely happy with the Grizzly 5# stuffer... Works smooth.... no meat left in the bottom, well maybe 2 TBS... Grease the o-ring and threads and you are set....

I have a Sausagemaker 15 # and I'm not impressed with their plastic (excuse me, polymer) geared crap... maybe their vertical metal geared ones are better but I'm not gonna pay their price to find out. I kinda like the looks of what Hoity Toit has posted... especially at that price! Metal geared stuffers are the way to go, those polymer gears are sheeut and should be tossed to the wayside!!

got my 5lb LEM (has metal gears) for 112 shipped to my door from amazon. the price fluctuates quite a bit, its been as low as 111.xx and as high as 154.99 in the last year (using the camelcamelcamel.com price tracker, that's a bit of a tip if you haven't seen it before, tracks prices on amazon and you can tell if a deal is really a deal).
