    Bit the Bullet, Upgrading to 7 pound Hakka Stuffer

    So I just bit the bullet and ordered the 7 pound Hakka stuffer. I'm upgrading from the Lem 5 pounder. The Lem has been ok for what it is but it does not hold an actual 5 pounds (more like 4 pounds) and is slooooooooooooooooow with it's cranking up/down. I'm hoping to do some sausage stuffing...
