Stuffer

[jrvalach]

I have a 15 lb cabales stuffer. It works good but it leaves abut 2 lbs of meat at the bottom of the stuffer. Is there any tricks or anything I could do so I would be able to get all the meat into casings?

Thank you!

I don’t have that same stuffer but most leave some meat in bottom. Get out the skillet & fry up some patties with the leftovers. Then u will know if what u made is the taste u r looking for. Instant gratification

None that I know of, which is one of the reasons why I rarely make batches smaller than 25#...

I don't know if it might help, but I saw where a couple would put a piece of bread in their Jerky Shooter to get the last of the meat out.

The only stuffing I do is my face....

I was experiencing the same issue. Started out putting the leftover meat into baggies, freezing it, and using it in queso for parties. I don't make large batches of sausage but I make a LOT of batches so at one point I had a whole bunch of small bags of sausage in the freezer. Thinking through it, I bought a jerky cannon that uses stuffing horns with the same diameter base as my big stuffer. When the vertical stuffer bottomed out, I remove the stuffing horn, secure it to the jerky cannon, pull out the remaining meat and shoot it into casings with the jerky cannon. In this way you can utilize almost all of the meat. I've even gone so far as to use the handle of a spoon to push what was left in the stuffing horn into casings. A decent jerky cannon can be had for around $25 so for me to be able to utilize the remaining meat, it was money well spent.

Just a thought....
