I just got my new stuffer, incredible service
It came with 3 tubes, one the right size for snack stix and 2 others good for sausage that i think I can use to make
2 1/2 inch salami.
Do I need any others ? I think this all but does the trick.
Of course the tubes from my old stuffer / grinder dont fit the new stuffer LOL but what the hell
Hi oakville smoker, glad to hear that your stuffer came in. You may be ok with the tubes they sent you. I only have 3 tubes my self, the largest one is only about 1 inch and I didn,t have much problem at all stuffing the 2.5 inch casings that I used for summer sausage. I'M sure NEPAS will be able to answer your question better. Wished I could of helped more.
If you are going to do snack sticks you need a small tube or use bigger snack stick casings. I have 17-19 mm casings and you need a small 3/8 stuff tube, actually I dont think the 3/8 tube will do the 17 mm NICELY you have to "stretch" out the casing before you put them on the tube, then you can only do about 3-4 feet at once.

Well as soon as I opened the box, the first thing I did was grab some snack stick casings and fit them on the tube
Voila ! They fit and I can load a whole casing or 2 on the tube
I think they are going tobe OK, I may evenstop by Coscto tomorrow night, pick up some 80/20 GB and crank a load through to see
how it goes. I just have to be sure of logistics so I can get the smoked in time

Thats great your stuffer came with a small enough tube you can do snack sticks with.
Now dont forget to put the seasonings in your GB before you crank a load through your new tool. ;D
I use 4 in. to 6 in. fibrous casings for my summer sausage and my largest tube is 1 in and I have no problem stuffing. You just have to be carefull that you do not get meat coming back up the stuffer tube. All it took was a little practise and you can get real tight stuffing. Piker Sorry I meant between the stuffing tube and the casing.
Excellent
Sounds like I am good to go
Gotta get a load of something through this thing tonight
Its the right thing to do !
