Default Sausage stuffer

Got tired of making sausage with a 1/2 HP grinder so ordered a 5 litre Trespade vertical stuffer. Recommended by a butcher that teaches the sausage making course at Olds College.Didn't think I needed the even more expensive Hobart or F.Dick brands as I'm not commercial.All metal gears and SS mostly.Should be here in a week or so depending on CP.Was not interested in the Chinese made ones with sloppy QC and plastic gears.

Check out ctr in Calgary. They have a good line in there at good prices. I’m sure they come from the same factory as LEM. They carry parts to fix anything to. They also have a Black Friday sale coming.

You won't regret the purchase. Quality manufacture and works way better than a grinder.

I’ve had my Trespade horizontal 5 lb stuffer for about 6 or 7 years.
Well made, and robust.

You’ll like what you’ve got coming.

You chose imo the best.I have had a 11litre[22lb],for 45 yreas.Never had a problem,extremely well made.Have fun.When my buddies[4] bought it,we were really into the hunting.Now i'm the only one left.Wouldn't mind downsizing to the 5 litre. Guys always ask why we went with that big .It all comes down to having the least amout of contamination.Load the stuffer,casing on the horn.Doesn't take long to do 40 lbs of sausage.Smoked in the day..

You shouldn't have any trouble selling the bigger one here.The new 5 litre was $700 shipped to my door from www.stuffers.com in BC free shipping.

Great stuffer. That is a high quality unit And will last through a couple generations of home based sausages makers. you will immediately notice the Much better control You have of the sausage feed rate through the stuffer vs the grinder.

Default It arrived today

Broken .Poor factory spotwelding of the handle on the meat tube.Laying loose in the box.Phoned the company to see what they are going to do about it. Wasted a day looking out the window watching for Canada Post when I could have been out hunting! This ain't a Cadillac it's a Lada.

If anyone is looking for a new sausage stuffer, look up www.nellacutlery.ca
They sell Trespades sausage stuffers at the lowest price I could find in North America. They don't advertise them as such, but you will know when you see them. Got one from them this October.

Halfords in Edmonton have great vertical stuffers. Mine is a15 lbs capacity and is $270. They have two lines of stuffers. The other is more expensive.

Default Halfords

Was $800 +GST +shipping as opposed to having one shipped from BC to my door for $700 all in .Trespade verticle 5 litre or 11 lbs .Works like a dam.

Default high end line

Was butcher recommended.Does yours have metal gears ?Think of the cheaper one's like Turkish shotguns..............they work great while they work .....then break and you can't get parts.

The only parts that are not SS is the seal ring around the plunger plate. And if it where to ware outs (and it hasn’t after 5 years) you can get one for $20 from them
