Oh i totally agree I have never used my ginder as a stuffer I had already heard it's not much of a stuffer. I would also say vertical is the only way to go. i hope you find a great deal on a stuffer.I have a 1hp cabelas grinder with stuffing attachments but it is such a pain. I am hoping a stiffer will work better
I know you can do it. Their is a thread on here that may or may not still have the link to a LEM video. Showing how they will fail. If the manufacture doesn't like the idea. I have to wonder. It's like stuffing with a grinder it can be done. Not everyone needs the best, Top of the line equipment. If so i would already have a hobart slicer......I want a Hobart. Not need a Hobart.You can stuff sticks with a 15 lb stuffer, it's a little hard to crank but if you mix the meat a little wet it works just fine. We did about 20 lbs of sticks at NFL with a 15 lb stuffer!
