Which rings in the 5lb vertical stuffer need lubrication?  I figured the meat was greasy enough?

The "O" ring that slips over the piston. I don't use it as a lubricant. I will apply some silicon after washing the parts, and before storing. It helps extend the life of the "O" ring.

The silicone my provide some lubrication when you are depressing the cylinder. Although sausage has a lot of fat, when I make my sausage I make sure to develop the primary bind which makes the sausage very sticky, and it will stick to every thing. Also I try to keep the mixture cold enough so that the fat in the mixture does not get soft; so I'm not sure how much lubrication I would get from the existing fat.

The O ring around the pusher. Or use some of your meat mix and rub it around the O ring, this will have less friction between the ring and stuffing canister.
