LEM 5lb Stuffer

[Caribou]

Hey 10.5,
I must not have lurked thoroughly enough, I would have definitely responded to a chicken lady call!  :D
Gizmo,
My biggest fear when I hunt here is being stomped by a moose, I see them sometimes when I go out hunting.  This last week I saw 3 elk when I was coming back from turkey hunt which was cool. 
My folks live in SoCal and my dad always talks about hunting for turkeys in SD county but has never done it.
He left all of his decoys here when he left last week, so I guess he isn't acting on it the notion of hunting SD county.
Thanks HB,
I will check out the Gander Mt stuffer.

If your not in hurry, watch ebay. I bought a 5 # Grizzley. It has nylon gears and I have used it heavily for two years without a problem. Pd $37 including shipping. I usually always make 10 or 15  pounds and a 10 # unit would be nice but I get by without it. I do think I will buy and electric unit sometime because my sausage stuffing buddy is not with me anymore and I miss the extra hands. As far as pushing all the sausage out, my Grizzley gets
it all out except for about enough the make a meatball, (maybe 3 oz).

Good luck with whatever you get. You will wonder why you waited to get one.

My stuffer has the nylon gears also, never had any problems like nathan said. There will be a small amount of meat at the bottom of the stuffer, i get just barely enough to make a 3" round patty. Whichever stuffer you get you will enjoy it. So stuff away.

SO THERE  ;D

Thanks Nathan, I will check out Ebay because I am not in a hurry since I do have my KA set up...for now.
That sounds like a very good price!
Rick,
I thought you ran a piece of bread through it?
just kidding! ;)
But I do use your bread method on my KA stuffer because it has that auger/worm thingie in it.
You're a genius!
So there!  :D

I have had the grizzly for a couple of years and have never had a problem, and have probably put over 250 lbs through it.

Deb, Caribou, I wish i had seen the Grizzley when i was looking.  Got my 5# from the Sausage Maker.  Over $200.  It has Nylon gear but was sent a steel one as a free gift?????BS???????.

Yes San Diego brings back many memories.  Buddy and I had the pent house there in Pacific Beach.  4944 Cash St, but that was 35 years ago.   Anyway good luck on the Stuffer.

Thanks Tom,
I have never purchased anything from Sausage Maker, still very new to this, but I love their catalog!  They look like they  have everything anyone would need.
I'm not from SD but growing up just north in OC we visited SD a lot.  We would fish for sand bass in the bay and for calico bass out in Pt Loma kelp, too.  Very good memories.  :)

I own a LEM 5#er and love it. It stuffs easy and there is hardly any leftover.  They may be a bit pricier but IMHO, I think they are worth the extra.

BTW, I purchased mine from Cabela's.

Thanks Lumpy!
Actually I was going to post an update on this thread and a big thank you to every body for sharing their ideas.
I forwarded the posts and the links for all the stuffers to my folks, since they were buying this for me, and my dad got his heart set on the LEM because of the steel gears.
So, yesterday they ordered one for me from a site called "Everything Kitchens"  here's the link:
http://www.everythingkitchens.com/LEM-5-lb-sausage-stuffer.html
It was $139.99, shipping included.
If I was spending my own $$ I would have gone with something less spendy, you guys gave great suggestions...but I'm not looking a gift stuffer in the mouth!  ;)
Rick,
I'll be making some snack sticks soon...so, there!
