I've been processing my own game meat & that of a few friend for a few years now & I keep feeling the urge to make meat-in-tube-form.
I have the recipes & principles down pat, but as yet I don't have a stuffer.
I don't really want to drop a lot of cash on one just yet (I know, buy once, cry once) until I know whether I'll be making enough each year to warrant the expense.
Can anyone recommend me a good, reliable sub-$100 machine?
 
I've been using the stuffer attachment for my grinder the last few years. It took a little practice to get the hang of, but it works fine. It's easier with two people.

Yep, the stuffer attachment works good enough for the limited amount of "stuffing" I do. I did get a foot switch for my grinder though. Pretty handy little gadget when you are working alone as it let's you have both hands free.
 
You can find anything on Craigslist.

I used a horn-type stuff for the 15 pounds I did last week. In fact, it looked identical to the one pictured above. Poser's right, I had a ton of blow-by around the seal. I was probably operating at 80%.
 
Poser is 110% correct about the vertical stuffer, I used my grinder for a few yrs. and invested in one of the horn style, it is once used and sits on the floor of the pantry. I bought a vertical gear drive one the following yr. and never looked back...........it is awesome.

I have the 5# stuffer from LEM, I also have the exact same stuffer from Northern Tool with the plastic gears. Both work the same. I think the key is to just not get He-Man on the crank if you get into a bind, and most importantly, use food grade silicone spray to keep it moving with easy.
