Thanks everyone! I've found a LEM unit on amazon for $143. Think I'm gonna go with it!

Thanks Ross!!

Thanks Pat! So your plastic gears have held up?

Great video! I'm a beginner. Will it be obvious to me when I need to "true" my blades? What should I look for?

Ok, so I quit being lazy and searched the posts for stuffers and realized the dislike of horn stuffers, haha! Does anybody have a recommendation for a 5 lb vertical stuffer for a beginner?

I'm looking to purchase a stand alone stuffer. Which is better? The vertical type or elbow type? Are they easier to use than grinder attachment?

No Stetson CW! Just hard hats and baseball caps! I work in offshore drilling! Dunns falls is beautiful! I had no idea about Mr Stetson!

Think ill give it a try! Sounds good! Thanks!

Thanks CW! This site is awesome! It's a one-stop-shop for sausage making! This is great for me as I do not have a butcher near by! I'm sure ill have a ton of more questions coming!

I am overwhelmed by all the recipes I have come across! I can't seem to find the one I want. I would like to make a simple, spicy, smoked sausage like ones I get in grocery stores here in the south! Nothing fancy! Any ideas?

Thank you very much!

I am a beginner! Can I take any fresh sausage recipe and add cure to it and smoke it? Just curious.
