Cast Iron Sausage stuffer

[Kyle]

Anyone ever used the old upright cast iron sausage stuffer? I'm thinking about getting one, but have never used one of the old ones. They should be super durable, but I wonder how well they work and how easy they are to take care of.

I have 2 old cast iron grinders,They make the modern day manual grinders look and feel cheap! If I could get a old CI stuffer I'd be on it in no time!!!

If you dont get it might you please PM me of its where abouts?I may go get it.Arent you a catfisher from around mankato?? Does memory serve me right?? I just moved from near RedWing to near Willmar

[Kyle]

Not me, must be someone else. There are several on hsolist. otherwise chop-rite makes the old style ones still but they are about 600 bucks.

they work good.

Not sure I want the maintenance that goes with cast iron. Anyone have any qualms with the guide series 15# stuffer?

Are you talking about the kind of stuffer that has a handle that you push down on to stuff?

[Kyle]

Nope, the vintage style crank ones.

The old cast iron ones work great!!! My folks used one for years. Maintenace isn't anything more than wash it up with hot soapy water.

That's all we ever use made hundreds of pounds of sausage with them never had a problem with it.The only problem is finding one. Like blackjack said wash with hot soapy water and your ready for the next batch.

I've decided to go with a new model stuffer.

for what it's worth, the old style cast iron ones can be found on hsolist and hsolist readily.

I have 3 friends with Enterprise brand cast iron stuffers. One has a lard plate and one has some sort of strainer for fruit. You can purchase replacement tubes and the big nut, and handle parts.
