3/8" 9mm Snack Stick Pepperoni Slim Jim Tube for LEM Model 1606 606 3 & 5 Qt Sausage Stuffer

I bought this to specifically use on Cabelas snack stick kits. It works great. I have a smaller 5lb stuffer and this was a perfect fit. Clean up was nice as this is stainless. It's very high quality and I was not concerned at all with it bending or breaking.

19mm casing roll didnt fit over the end i had to "unpack" the roll and slide them over the tube. not taht big of a deal it worked great...

Love it.

Anyone who has used one of these, can skip my review knowing it is very well made and of decent quality and it fits my cabelas branded 5lb stuffer.For those of you new to snack stick stuffing with a 3/8 tube, read on.Beware. Using this tube in a large capacity stuffer, will probably damage your stuffer beyond repair.The reason for this is the physics of hydraulic pressure. The bigger the diameter of your sausage stuffer is in relation to this tube, the more pressure you will have to exert over the entire surface of the sausage to push it through this little bugger. LEM and other stuffer manufacturers actually reccomend their smaller models for snack sticks as they openly state snack stick tubes like this produce too much back pressure for the bigger stuffers to handle.Some things you can do to prevent this problem include: Making the mix more wet so that it is a easier to work with consistency, lubricate everything the sausage touches with cooking oil, using the smallest sausage stuffer hopper diameter available to you, leave that 25lb beast on the shelf and bust out your 5lber, dont let mixes with binders set up before stuffing, stuff RIGHT AWAY before the protein extraction gets out of hand.Nice long tube, make sure you have a little straw brush to clean the inside with.

This stuffing tube works perfect for making snack sausage sticks

added to the inventory of meat processing equipment, my only complaint is with the original purchase of the lem stuffer, I purchased a 5 lb unit specifically for doing snack stick pepperoni and it comes with 3 tubes that are bigger than needed for that purpose, with the smaller stuffer it is obvious your not doing multiple 40 millimeter summer sausage and felt this tube should come with it, back to shipping was fast fit perfect and although I haven't used it yet im sure it will be just the ticket.

My fault did not read small print, will not fit my stuffer. Make sure it will fit yours before ordering. Can't return

Purchased for LEM 606 Sausage Stuffer (5 lb unit). Fits perfectly, same as LEM supplied stuffing tubes. I ordered this to make snack stick in 17 mm and 19 mm casing. It'a a pain to push these smaller casings up the LEM 1/2" OD stuffing tube. Both 17 mm and 19 mm LEM casings slide right onto this Smokehouse Chef 3/8" OD stuffing tube. Looking forward to lots of snack stick this year.
