Got my Hakka 5-7LB sausage stuffer delivered today. This is one beefy unit. Solid and from what I have read it works well. Can't wait to make my first sausage. Thinking Andouille [emoji]128522[/emoji]

Welcome to the sausage club.

 

[b-one]

Congrats on the new toy!

Major addiction coming soon!

You won't be able to walk down the meat aisle without pondering how to make sausage from each type!

You'll be constantly pondering how to tweak the next batch of links!

You'll never be happy with store bought sausage again!

Welcome to the madness, let us know if we can be of any assistance.

Well, let's see some pictures of your first sausage! After all, it's been three days. Surely you've already made a few batches!

I have the 15lb. model, it is a solid stuffer and I like the low and high speed gears for when you need to raise the plunger to reload with meat paste.Do read the sausage sticky, lots of great tips in that thread. I posted some tips on casing to make loading them a breeze.

As everyone has said, This only the beginning of the sausage addiction, we have been  hooked for  few years on this and are getting the kids involved in the who;e process, It is enjoyable and extremely rewarding.... Enjoy...

Thanks again guys!  You will see pics once my first batch is made.  Been a busy time and haven't been able to.  Just reading, learning and salivating at the prospect of my own smoked Andouille! 

 

[SmokyMose]

Looking forward to the pics!
I make a lot of Kielbasa and Hot Italian because that's what the Mrs likes, but Andouille is my all time favorite, just for me :-)
Wait til you try snack sticks!
Welcome to sausage.

(You might want to check out adding another freezer. Oh, you've jumped in the deep end now, brother....)

Yep. Freezer space is dear now that I've become committed to increasing my sausage game. Between the butts, finished links and bags of ice, there isn't much space left over!

Nice Hakka, here is a tip I use, get some food grade silicone and spray the gasket before use and a little on the upper part of the stuffer can. Helps to keep the gasket from having a blowout.
