Sausage stuffer

[Snowwolfe]

Looking to buy a 15 pound manual crank sausage stuffer. Two choice are the Lem and the Meat Your Maker models. About $100 difference in price after current promo codes are applied. I like the fact you can buy the Lem with stainless stuffing tubes. The tubes for the 15 pound stuffer have a 2 inch base.
1. Will the Lem stainless tubes fit on the MYM stuffer?
2. In general how does the quality compare between the two brands?

I cannot speak on the comparison, but I bought the LEM 15lber and have been very pleased with it so far. I am a LEM customer and usually buy their products over the competition, I've been please with their lineup.

look at the hakka brand, been using one for two years now does a good job and it came with 4 different stuffing tube that are stainless steel.

I bought the lem tubes for my 5lb MYM stuffer and they are the same. I would assume the 15lb is as well.

if that is the case i would buy a larger stuffer more than I would worry about the plastic stuffing components. The Meat! is a 15lb capacity for the manual and I wish it was a 25lb instead.... regardless of brand

All your seasoning mixes you buy are usually for 25lbs of meat.

Buy the biggest sausage stuffer you can afford though realistically 15lb is a good size. I have a 5lb stuffer and it is such a pain especially by yourself.

Also if you have the budget get a meat mixer...I've gotten better consistency since I've bought mine. Kind of a pain to clean but such is life.

+1 on folding the meat, especially if your adding high temp cheese..I just steal the wife's mixer from the kitchen..as long as clean it and put it back she doesn’t seem to mind...YMMV

I think I have a 5 pound LEM. I tend to do smaller batches more often so it works well for me. Reminds me I need to make some more stuff soon.

I called MYM yesterday morning to ask them about the tubes, wasn’t able to talk to anyone. So then I emailed them, no response as of the time I am posting this. At this point decided to ditch the MYM idea and stick with the Lem 15 pounder. I already have the Lem 5 pounder and decided I wanted the larger size. I will check out the Hakka stuffers before going back to Lem.
MYM has some great prices. But if they want my money they need to be more responsive with their customer service.
Appreciate the feedback

I had some questions about the grinders and just called Meat and got through to someone who answered my questions. He said if I had any more to call back and they'd help. Maybe just timing I hope. He seemed knowledgeable and answered everything.

 

[Snowwolfe]

MYM still never answered me. Glad I found out how they operate before buying from them. Fluke, or not. It’s all I have to go on.

25% off promo from Lem and free shipping if you spend $300 or more!
15 pound stuffer ordered.
PS: MYM never did respond to either of my emails.

I’m in the same boat, but may do the MTM as even with the discount it’s a pretty big difference. I’m just starting out, so need to buy a grinder as well.

 

[Boarmaster]

I got a 5lb and a 15lb both LEM both work flawlessly. No experience with any other.

 

[Ronin75]

Buy the 15 lb Lem , you won’t regret it.

 

[Bjones2571]

Bought the MTM 15lb stuffer and 3/4 hp grinder during their Black Friday sale. Looking forward to processing my own venison/pork and making my own sausages. Wife is less thrilled about the idea. Lol.

Don't know how the quality has changed but my dad has been using a Cabelas stuffer for at least 15 years now. We run at least 200lb of meat through it every year with the only parts needing replacement is the seal around the plunger, and its $100 less than the Meat one

Whatever you buy, get one with metal gears instead of plastic. I have broken a plastic geared stuffer before when cranking. I use a Weston now with metal gears.
