    LEM Big Bite 20lb Motorized Stuffer

    Yes, to me it is perplexing. How LEM managed to make a near bullet proof stuffer with all kinds of user improvements only to include a nearly useless foot pedal? I would love to speak to their subject matter experts! You know, they guys who said that they really needed a foot pedal that...

    Ok, just joined this forum, brief description of my interests.

    I live in a rural area of North Florida.  I hunt deer in my backyard and try to put a few in the freezer in the form of sausage every year.  I have a home made smoker that is four feet square and eight feet tall. (Looks like an outhouse at first glance!)  The walls are six inches thick with foam...
