    Putting multiple types of sausage in the stuffer canister. Any tricks?

    Hahah I knew there would be no sure fire way to do this! Like I said, I was just being lazy in spirit. I pulled the trigger on a motorized stuffer so all I have to do now is press a button, and while the plunger raises I do other stuff. Wash a couple of dishes, etc. takes half a second to...

    Putting multiple types of sausage in the stuffer canister. Any tricks?

    Ok, so this might be the laziest idea of all time but I thought I'd throw it out there. Lets say I mix a 5 pound batch of each of the following all pork sausages: Italian, hot italian, kielbasa, brats. And I want to be super lazy and load them all into the canister of a 30 pound stuffer...

    LEM 20lb. motorized stuffer... Any one have it?

    I did read about that but I've seen videos of motorized stuffers in action and it definitely doesn't take more than a few minutes to empty the whole canister even at the lower speeds so this shouldn't be an issue. Yeah, this one comes with the hand crank also so that is always an option if I...

    LEM 20lb. motorized stuffer... Any one have it?

    I feel your pain. I ordered a 20 pound manual stuffer and promptly returned it when it was nearly impossible for me to crank and stuff simultaneously. I am almost always going at the stuffing process solo so the motorized sounds ideal. Some opinions I have gotten against the motorized stuffer...

    LEM 20lb. motorized stuffer... Any one have it?

    Yeah Al, its a big investment but it will make my life so much easier. Hoping that it doesn't happen but if after a while if the motor did die on me, they do sell a replacement part for it and I have an electrical minded friend who could probably rig something up for me. Refilling the canister...

    LEM 20lb. motorized stuffer... Any one have it?

    Hi All, Many times throughout the year I do charity and veteran outreach events and thanks to what I have learned on this site, I am now the sausage guy. I am often tasked with making between 30-100 lbs. of sausage for events throughout the year. Pretty tough task with my 5lb. LEM manual...

    My Shirley Fab is finally here...

    Been so busy this summer so I haven't been on here too often. But after a long wait, my Shirley Fabrication smoker came home with me at the beginning of August. A buddy of mine and I took the trip from Long Island, NY down to Tuscaloosa, AL to pick her up. Paul and Tyler Shirley and their...

    Eye of Round?

    Just curious as to why it has to be cooked to such a high internal temp? I agree that cooked past mid rate/medium, it will be a very tough cut.

    Help with choosing new budget smoker

    I will chime in with my vote and say, spend $299 on a Pit Barrel Cooker (great flavor, ease of use, good capacity when hanging) and then use the extra $100 to find a nice Weber Kettle on facebook marketplace or craigslist. I am a big fan of the WSM as well, but portability is important to me...

    Pellet grill question

    I am by no means a pellet grill expert. I have a camp chef that I got off craigslist and I am happy with the way it cooks ribs and chicken. The one thing I should mention is that it doesn't really cook consisntantly low enough for smoked sausage cooks. So for example, the low smoke setting is...

    Recommend a small sauce maker

    I will have to say, one of my favorite "smaller" brands of BBQ sauce and rubs are Code 3 spices. Their Patriot Sauce is great. I have followed them on facebook and instagram as they grew from something very small to now much larger distribution. Think they just signed a deal with Ace Hardware...
