Today I picked up as really cool cast iron sausage stuffer/cider press off of Craigslist!!! I'll post some pictures a bit later, cell phone camera doesn't want to work.

Even better just before lunch I ordered the 18" AMNTS from Todd. I came back from lunch and there was a email saying it has shipped!!!  Now that's SMOKIN fast Service!!! Thank you Todd!

I can't wait to get it so I can retire my Tazo tea tin and soldering iron smoke generator! I think I'll go sit by the mail box and wait for the mailman!

Thanks again Todd!
 
Most of the rust is just surface, so a bit of SOS , oil and heat. Yes it is cast iron, except the cider basket and tube. Tube is stainless and about 5/8" dia. The basket is some sort of steel, but not stainless.
 
dirtsailor,

Have the same press only no cider basket, trying to find one. I was down in Bend last weekend for vetrans day did a pretty good BBQ for dad. He recieved medals from korean war last weekend.

I've found quite a few of them, but this was the first one I found with the basket, and the tube. I can't wait to get it all cleaned up and to put it to use!
 
The new phone books are here, the new phone books are here!!! Well even more exciting than that my 18" tube Smoker from Todd arrived yesterday!!! 3 days to go across the country, now that's Smokin fast service!!! Thank you!!!  I'm going to break it in on some skinless Bearcarver pepperoni chubs!

I don't think I'll have to go the electrolysis route. I have done that before, but I think the rust isn't that bad.

Thanks for the tip Woodcutter I will check them out. I definitely need some tubes for sausage making!

this arrived a few days ago. I seasoned it and am going to test it out today, smoking up some of BearCarver's pepperoni!

So I did two smokes over the holiday weekend. The first was Bearcarver's skinless pepperoni

This was the first smoke using the Amaze-n-Tube-smoker. Loaded with cherry it did the job and produced great TBS!!!

The second smoke for this new toy was the Turkey (no pic, what the???) loaded with apple smoked @ 275, lots of great TBS!!!! Turkey was fantastic!!!
 
Nice score! There is another one on CL in Redmond right now but they want top dollar and I don't see any basket with it. I thought about getting it but but I can get a new stainless one for less. Find someone with a bead blaster and you can make it look like new.
 
I saw that one a while back, I paid quite a bit less than that, and I have the plates, basket, and the tube nut. I actually have it pretty cleaned up. The rust was primarily surface. I need to finish the tub and get it oiled and baked The press stand and parts I am going to repaint. All the plates and the cast iron cider press are done and seasoned. I'll post some more pics as soon, holidays kind of put this project on hold!
 
I know! I was very lucky finding one here, in the condition that it was! Now I just have to use it! I am going to have to make some tubes as the "one" that it came with isn't going to cut it.
