Recently a good friend of mine talked me into processing my deer. He had just spent some big $$$ at Cabela's and bought the 3/4 h.p.commercial grade grinder, meat mixer, etc. Grinding the meat up for burger was extremely easy, as was stuffing the big 3" casings. Things went progressively downhill when we tried making the hunter's sticks, using the small casing tube on the grinder. We ran meat thru the grinder several times, as well as adding the spices. Probelm was it took a enormous amount of force on the plastic plunger, used to feed the auger, to get anything to come out of the smallerstuffer tube. My shoulder almost fell off after making only a modest amount of the hunter's sticks!!!! We had to be doing something wrong, but for the life of me I don't know what!!! Anyone else have this problem, and if so how'd you get around it.

After getting ticked off with mine, I finally took out the plate AND the blade. Things went MUCH smoother after that! What was taking me severl minutes, only took a few seconds after I removed those parts.

Take the plate out
lol...If someone had told me before hand to do this, then yes, I would be saying thank you.
