Cabelas sells an adaptor that allows you to fill  1lb propane bottles form a 20LBer.
I've been using it for years and have saved a ton.

Those were made for me by a friend. I don't know if he wants to sell them or not but i can ask. I got 3 different OD sizes made.

nepas

Which size did you use for the snack sticks the the 3/8", 7/16" or the 1/2" OD ones?

John

I think the 21/22 mm

I was talking about the custom stuffer tube OD's.

John

1/2 "

[NePaSmoKer]

The OD of the tubes are 1/2, 7/16 and 3/8"

I used the 7/16 for these sticks.

NePaSmoker,

Thanks. Have you tried the 3/8" OD one. I was concerned when making the small one that the back pressure would be too great with an ID of 0.319". Scott said that the small one was very difficult to push the mixture through with his stuffer but the other two worked just fine for him. I was just wondering if you had tried it.

Thanks

I have not yet used the small one. Maybe when i do the mix will be at room temp and be easier.  I guess the tube makers identity is out now  ;D

[BigJohnT]

Yep, it is I the little old tube maker  ;) ...

Let me know when you try the 3/8" OD one if it is a good size or not. Are there any casings that would not fit on the 7/16 OD tube that would make the 3/8" OD tube a necessity?

Hey Nepas to answer your PM, you can give them BigJohnT's name for the stuffer tubes.  I was out at his place yesterday and showed him this thread and some of the people that wanted them.
