    Anyone looking for a great stuffer? Sausage Stuffer For Sale

    First, I want to say this is not my stuffer and I don't know the seller.  Happened to log in to Ebay and saw this 5# TSM stuffer for sale.  This is the older model with black nylon resin gears.  IMHO the resin gears are better than metal, as they are just as strong but operate much smother. ...

    Bauernschinken ( Peasant's Ham) --Made with a Picnic
