I was actually hoping to post a video and pictures of my first stuffed sausage, but that didn't work... so question before video:
What do you use for a stuffer and grinder?
For me it depends on what and how much sausage I want to make. If it a couple of pounds I have my butcher grind it for me. If it moer than 5 lbs I grind it myself with a hand crank grinder. Again, depending on quantity, stuff them with either a pastry bag and tube and elbow grease, or feed them through the grinder again without the cutting blade attached. If it's gator sausage then I crank up the 30 Qt Hobart mixer fitted with the grinding attachment and stuff the same as with the hand grinder sans cutting blade. Its a clean-up and waste issue. Small batches zero waste at the butcher, mid size extra clean up and some waste, big batches big clean up and more waste too! Hope this helps!
