You will scrape your knuckles filling it with meat and you will get water everywhere.

Post by: billythekidrock on November 05, 2014, 04:52:25 PM: Similar to the one in the video that was linked. But mine was not clear plastic. I was able to make passable sausage most of the time, but it was always a mess with water everywhere and even water getting into the meat around the rings. It was a pain to clean and even more of a pain to drain and fill with meat.

Post by: Hornseeker on November 06, 2014, 08:04:36 AM: Hmmm... well... I am going to look at rigging it with air... that may solve at least one of the probs you describe. Im wondering if a little sandpaper around the edges will keep from scraping/cutting hands while stuffing....

I use a variety depending on what I am making and where I am making it. I use a hand stuffer, small Waring grinder, or our large Hobart grinder. I have also used a couple different Cabela's grinders.

Post by: Blacklab on December 10, 2014, 08:33:50 AM: Hmmm like the concept and they make it look so easy. I just use a grizzley 5lb vertical since I don't do mass amounts in one session. Would like to hear more real life reviews when ya get it going ;)
Title: Re: Anyone using the Dakotah Stuffer?
Post by: Hornseeker on December 19, 2014, 12:21:02 PM: Ive yet to use this stuffer... I will try and do some sausage making in January... and will give my full review/opinion when I do!

I also may try and rig this up to an air compressor... we will see.
