    My first sausage... fresh Garlic pork sausages

    Not sure if I used the words in any responses above, but while I was doing it I was thinking "NOW I know why all those guys wind up with a vertical stuffer!"

    My first sausage... fresh Garlic pork sausages

    The promised Q-View photos... The "stack of washers" solution: Funny "stuffing" plate with the stack of washers: Here's the plate with the knife in place. You can see it stacks up taller than with the two washers. Einstein is very interested in progress. 36" tall at the shoulder and...

    My first sausage... fresh Garlic pork sausages

    Brought some to a few neighbors for Christmas Eve and Christmas. The taste was good, definitely wanted smoke-roasting rather than pan frying what with the bacon and bourbon in there. The texture WAS too fine. If I get a kidney-holed stuffing plate, I'll bring it into the office and slap it one...

    My first sausage... fresh Garlic pork sausages

    Unfortunately, no... The instructions were really explicit. I think DigginDog nailed it... The "stuffing" plate is not really a stuffing plate at all... It's like a grinding plate with 1/2" (or so, at the widest) pie-shaped holes. I'll measure it and let you know for real - I verified the...

    My first sausage... fresh Garlic pork sausages

    I'd have to concur - the stuffing plate is definately more like a grinding plate with fewer, larger, holes, but it is absolutely NOT the typical "two or three kidney-shaped hole) stuffing plate. I'll see if I can source a proper stuffing plate before giving up on this little grinder as a...

    My first sausage... fresh Garlic pork sausages

    With the stuffing plate and no knife, there was definitely a LOT of fore-and-aft play on the auger. The stuffing plate is thicker than the other plates, with larger holes. What I wound up doing was placing two stainless steel washers on the shaft - 5/16" ID fit nicely on the shoulder of the...

    My first sausage... fresh Garlic pork sausages

    http://cdn.lemproducts.com/downloads/1113_575%20watt_grinder_manual.pdf Last paragraph on the last page: NOTE: Never operate the grinder without the grinder knife and one of the grinder plates in the head. Doing so may force meat back into the motor.

    My first sausage... fresh Garlic pork sausages

    And I'd just as soon not use the knife with the stuffing plate. I have a texture I think I like (experience may alter my perception, of course) and I'd rather not grind it a second time.

    My first sausage... fresh Garlic pork sausages

    That was my first assumption too but the documentation on this model is really explicit - The knife is required or you can stuff the motor with meat!

    My first sausage... fresh Garlic pork sausages

    Right now I'm having a heck of a time assembling the LEM electric grinder (#8, 575 watt.) There's just too much stackup when the stuffer tube is in play... The ring nut won't catch a thread even with four hands on it. I am going to machine a washer out of teflon or hdpe to take the place of the...
