Mounting Sausage Stuffer (Bear's Way)

Mounting Sausage Stuffer  

Thought it was time I show how I mounted my Sausage Stuffer.

I wanted it on something heavy, so I don't have to clamp it to anything.

I also wanted it elevated so if I'm making unstuffed Beef Sticks, I can slide a piece of paper under it. Then start the sausage on the paper, and let the sausage ride the paper out to where I want to cut it. This way I can make unstuffed sausage without anyone helping me. I don't need two of my hands to handle the sausage, and one to turn the crank.

These pics should show how we did it.

With some no slide rubber stuff under it, it won't slide around at all, and that heavy little piece of Butcher block counter top will never be tipped.

Having been a cabinet maker for over 20 years, I get gun shy about clamping on my beveled wood edge counter top.

Even the rubber footed squeeze clamps can be slid off a little (operator error), instead of carefully removed, and screw up your edging. This way---No clamping is needed.

All you have to do to remove the whole thing is remove the top 4 nuts.

I used Stainless Steel bolts, nuts, and washers. Counterbored the bottom of the butcher block, so the bolt heads don't touch the counter top.

The bolts will stay right in place for when you put it back on after washing. Just drop it on & spin the 4 nuts.

Nice job on mounting it. I still use my jerky canon

I like that, I thought about doing something similar .   Bear, you have room for wing nuts on top, make it a little easier.

I was going to use wing nuts way back when I did this, but SS wing nuts this large have wings too big to clear the bottom hood of the stuffer.

Yeah, I thought they may be

Bear,

Nice craftsmanship.  

Do you use rolled paper for the unstuffed beef sticks?  Lem makes a 4-1/2" wide roll of waxed paper.  If you use the same kind all the time, could you make a holder for it that mounts off the back of the block, or shift the stuffer forward by a set of holes and use the rear holes to mount the roll?  

I can see me trying to use a setup like this by myself and having the paper roll off the counter across the floor and out the door.

Thanks Don!!

Sounds like a good idea!!

I don't do it that often, so I just cut a bunch of pieces the size I want, use them, move the sausages to a tray, and re-use them until I'm done with that batch.
