Anyone tried this stuffer?

[tomolu5]

It came across craigslist, new ship to your door for 200. Comes with four tubes and will do 11 pounds. I emailed them, and they gave me their website, butcher baker.com . Everything seems legit, just wondering if the unit is any good?

I'll be checking back. Looks like a good deal. I will be in the market for a bigger stuffer soon

You sure you want that?
You can get a 15 lb. stuffer from Gander Mountain for the same price.

Anyway...if you go with the Craig's List stuffer ask them if replacement 'o-rings' are easily available and the price.
Some have had trouble obtaining parts for that style machine.
Some folks also dislike the big elbow at the bottom of those, it leaves a lot of sausage unstuffed.

Hi

Digging dog- that does look like a decent stuffer from gander, but I'm not a fan of the plastic gears, or that its only one speed. The unit from c-list is a two speed, all metal gears. The other thing is that the handle detaches, which gives me the ability to make a socket, and back it off with a drill.

So I talked to the seller today, and ordered one. His name was Keith, and he seemed to be a pretty friendly guy. He said that this stuffer uses the same o-ring as the cabelas and gander mt stuffers( I forgot to ask what size) and he was gonna throw a couple extra in the box. He said they have the replacement parts available there and to just call.

I will post photos, and measurements of the orings when I receive it, he said it should ship today.

Oh, as far as the big elbow, I guess I will just keep some ground meat on hand to chase it out with, or make a plunger type tool to push it out.:o

The gears on the Gander 15 lb. are steel.
Your stuffer comes with 2 speeds, but only one speed is used for stuffing, the other is used just to raise or lower the piston faster.
I accomplished the same thing by adding a steering wheel spinner....no biggy.

The other thing is that the handle detaches, which gives me the ability to make a socket, and back it off with a drill.

The Gander handle also detaches.

Okay, but what model Gander and Cabela's stuffer? They both sell the models with the funky, expensive, hard-to-find, 'o-ring'.

Maybe just a different color......Like DDF stated, some people have had problems with finding the O ring....I've had mine for 2 years, I've really enjoyed it and have not had a need to look for one yet, but I dread the day when I do.......SB

Thanks for the information, I will look into getting one just for a spare..............

 

[tomolu5]

Well, it arrived today, this thing is a beast. I have only made an initial as assessment, and I write this from my tree stand. Packaging was very stout, and on the surface, everything is as advertised, including the couple spare gaskets the seller promised me. I noticed one defect in the handle, just a casting flaw, doesn't affect operation. The only downside I have seen so far is that the plunger gasket is not an o-ring, but rather a different style, only problem there is getting one made down the road, o-rings are easy to have made, not as easy with this thing.

Good to know.

I'll avoid that style.

I would be willing to bet it is exactly the same as the Weston I posted above.

 

[tomolu5]

I looked at the Weston, and I think your right. Will have some measurements to follow. I intend to do a "review" on it, and attempt to be as unbiased as possible, which may prove difficult since I already named it the hulk!

Yup a lot of people are surprised at the size of those stuffers
