Great little stuffer for the money. Had mine for two years and have stuffed hundreds of pounds of meat with it with no problems. Would like to see metal gears used but as with anything if you dont abuse it it works fine. Easy to use, easy cleanup, and if you have everything ready to go you can stuff alot of sausage in a short time.

Good Stuffer, Bad Gears.

Worked great out of the box. Nylon gear broke on last batch. Nylon gears are not durable. Design improvement needed. Called and they said they were sending a new set. I hope not Nylon. Will not recommend until Nylon Gears are replaced with metal. Should not have to buy 15lb stuffer for [$] more to get metal gears. WOULD RATE 5 STARS IF GEARS WERE DURABLE!

large sausages and limited use

By Camp Cook

from Buffalo County, Wisconsin

About Me Avid Adventurer

Pros

  • Easy To Clean

Cons

  • Cheap Plastic Gears
  • Not durable

Best Uses

    The gears stripped within the first five pounds of snack sticks. I called Gander Mountain customer service and they sent me replacement gears free of charge (Kudos to the great customer service at GM)! The replacement gears are made from a different material, but still plastic, and only a little stronger. I have made about 50-75lbs of sausage and sticks now but one gear cog is completely broken off

    Works fine for larger casings, not small

    Verified Reviewer

    Pros

    • Compact
    • Easy To Clean

    Cons

    • Gears strip on snak stix
    • Needs board and clamps

    Best Uses

      I mounted mine to a board, to reduce flimsiness of base.. must use clamps to secure to table or counter. Works great with large casing sausage, but gears strip with smaller casings... add water like they suggest or you'll strip your nylon gears. For the price, gears should be metal!!!

            My daughter bought this product for me for a christmas present. I wanted to turn some old deer into sausage and I found out that all 3 tubes were missing. Can I order the tubes. I should get 3 for free since my daughter paid for them but at this point I'll buy them if I can. Thanks, Dad

            • A:

              contact Gander mountain about the missing stuffing tubes. We had a few problems with the stuffer and for the most part they were great about it. Unfortunaley we did end returning the stuffer because the nylon gears went out. Two teeth broke. You should be able to purchase stuffing tubes through almost any butcher supply company. Open up your local telephone book, or use internet. You will be surprised how many you find. Matter a fact we purchased a 3/8 stainless steel stuffing tube through a butcher shop. It works great for sticks. Good luck. Tammy

              They have a 3/8 tube at LEM Manufacturing. It is SST and part number is----606-A Cost is 12.99 + shipping
              It also has a 1-9/16 OD Base. Just make sure your base is that small- On mine I had to file it---about .015 smaller OK

              Before buying the smaller tube, be sure to make sure it has the correct size base for the "Guide Series" stuffer you have

            • A:

              These sausage stuffers are not setup for electric motors. I have made thousands of pounds of sausage over the last fifty years and I have never seen a consumer type electric sausage stuffer that worked well. Most stuff too fast and are hard to control and you end up bursting the casings. I have found the hand cranked vertical stuffers work the best. After you use one a little while you will develop a feel for how fast you can stuff. With the larger 15lb stuffers you can stuff over 100lbs of sausage in approx 1 hour without a problem.

              I have emailed the manufacture (for a 100% answer) but to the best of my knowledge it does have the air release on it.

            • A:

              Yes there is a air release in the top but it doesn't let all of the air out so you still may get some air in your casings.
