Meat processing luxury, 1 item

[EnglishSetter]

I just have a hand crank 5lb stuffer. Cheapo version. I'd consider it a necessity over a luxury for sure. That's my next upgrade for sure. Haven't decided how big I want to go. If a 10-15lb one will suffice or if I just go all out and get a 25lb. Most of my sausage batches I only do 5-10lbs at a time.

As far as luxury items go I would have to throw out a chamber vacuum sealer. Does a great job and way less of a hassle than wrapping with butcher paper or using a standard vac sealer.

Can't say as I've ever processed any big game myself.  But I've processed a lot of fish and fowl.  A chamber vacuum sealer I'd consider a necessity for both game and commercial meats (and other foodstuffs) along with a manual defrost freezer.

I'm going to say a good chamber sealer. It's impossible to beat the organization and use of every bit of available freezer space for burger/sausages. Plus, it's also unbeatable for fish, game birds, soups. and much more. Bags are damn cheap when purchased in bulk as well. When they thaw on the counter or in the fridge they don't leak like wrapped packages and you can leave them in the fridge thawed for several weeks if need be before use.

Some good options to be sure, I will say that the chamber sealer and meat grinder from Meat brand is not worth it. Spare parts are never in stock and the chamber sealer doesn't always geta good seal. Their bags are subpar as well in my experience. Good marketing, subpar quality,

I lean towards LEM for all my processing equipment now. Foot peddle sounds like the next item to add to my collection. Thanks huntwa for spending more of my money. LOL
