Title: Are summer sausage casings large enough to hand stuff?
Post by: DoubleJ on December 31, 2011, 09:20:38 AM: Should I use my sausage stuffing attachment or are the casings large enough to throw chunks into it by hand and squeeze them down tight?

Post by: Echomules on January 04, 2012, 07:54:26 AM: Not too hard. I've done it easily with a juice jug top and piece of dowel. Worked good for a small batch, that was ground earlier and wasn't worth getting the grinder dirty. The homemade tools were easier than hand stuffing the casing, but it can be done.
