    Smallest stuffing tube you would use on a 10 or 15 lb stuffer?

    Thanks boykjo - BTW did you mean to say the 5/8” are over sized and too big for the 19 - 21mm casings? To my knowledge the small 3/8 stuffing tube is around 10 mm. I have notes made in my file about the best size being the 3/8" so that is why I questioned her in the first place. Thanks for...

    Meat Grinder Horse Power - How Much is Needed?

    Well Pineywoods, considering I upgraded on the grinder, I want to get a metal gear stuffer so my grinder and stuffer match in quality. Hey I'm a girl so go figure why.   I'm swaying towards the two gear 10 lb one though.  You really grind 1000 lbs a day? Wow - that would be worth seeing.

    Meat Grinder Horse Power - How Much is Needed?

    Thanks everyone, Beer-B-Q, that Northern Tool grinder is the one I first was going to buy (before I found this forum) and I'm sure it would be fine but I really have my heart set on something more industrial and especially the stainless steel aspect.  Pineywoods - from what I've read, most...

    Meat Grinder Horse Power - How Much is Needed?

    I have been researching on this forum for over a month now. It has been the best resource I have found online for sausage making and almost every question I could possibly have has been answered here. About me: I am an avid cook and would consider my grinding volume to be on the low-end as my...
