I'm looking for a good sausage stuffer. What I have in mind is some
sort of over-grown hypodermic, or something like it.
Am I on the right track? Does anyone make such a thing?
Thanks in advance for any tips, pointers, etc.
Regards,
David.

I've seen pastry bags used to stuff casings in that manner. I would
think that it would take a long time to stuff 3-5 lbs of meat using a
hypodermic-style or pastry bag. I use a 5-lb sausage stuffer from The
Sausage Maker (in Buffalo, NY). You can go to URL
http://www.wholeherb.com/CARDS_FALL/SAUSAGE.HTM to sign up for one
of their catalogs. Allied Kenco Sales (http://www.alliedkenco.com/)
also has stuffers -- although I haven't tried theirs. Both of these
places sell a 3-lb stuffer that may be what you are looking for
(although not exactly).

Looking further at the Allied Kenco web pages, I noticed that they
sell a beef jerky gun that has an optional sausage stuffer kit.
Maybe this is what you are looking for...
Catermasters in the UK sell somthing called a SYSSYL sausage making kit.
and it is cross between a Hypodermic and a grease gun. I have heard its
the business

Check out http://www.facem.com/welcome.html which gives details of
quite a few sausage stuffers. They aso list dealers worldwide.
I bought their smallest "Minnie" stuffer about a year ago, and I'm
delighted with it. The only minor problem with the Minnie is that
there is no quick release for re-filling, you need to re-wind the
plunger by hand. It has a superb air release valve on the plunger
which lets out any trapped air and prevents "spurting" problems.
I reckon this machine will out-last me....
[Jitterbug] How does their sausage stuffing machine compare in quality and
price with the ones from "The Sausage Maker" here in Buffalo NY.? The
pictures and description are great.. Thanks..
I don't know "The Sausage Maker" or their products. The Minnie Stuffer
isn't cheap, I paid almost 200 Dollars for it. I couldn't find anything
else in the UK at the time, maybe I should have looked outside the UK.
Quality of manufacture of the Minnie is very good. It is really a
scaled down professional machine, and is no doubt used by small
professional outfits or where small runs are required.

[Jitterbug] I was hoping someone would chime in with "The Sausagemaker"
address... they have a web page I believe.... their stuffers and
equipment are very nice... and their advice is taken VERY seriously...
They RULE. as far as I can tell...
The Sausage Maker doesn't have an on-line catalog (AFAIK) at this
point. The only web site is a place where you can go to order a free
copy of their catalog. The URL is

They have a 5lb. stuffer on sale for $175. I've been using this model for a
few months and have been extremely pleased. Much better than using a stuffer
attachment on a grinder.

I also have their 5-lb stuffer: it's easy to use and it cleans up
fairly easily. It's a big improvement over the 5-lb stuffer I bought
from them 5 years ago: a heavy single-piece stuffer that was difficult
to clean.
