Is 5lb capacity big enough for small batch processing at home? Never done links before, so I'm not in a hurry to make huge batches - need to figure out what the heck I'm doing first.

5 lb. capacity is a good size to start with. I have been thinking about doing the same thing and that is probably the size I would get. I have made some before using my 1.5 hp. cabela`s meat grinder and it was a pain in the a$$. A vertical stuffer is much easier. There are lots of You Tube videos on the subject that would help you out a bunch.

15 lb is more better. Even with a 15 pounder, it is surprising how fast I run out of product and have to reload. Eventually, you'll wind up upgrading anyway.

It rubs me wrong that a metal can with a screw on it is so expensive. That said, I wouldn’t buy anything under 10lbs, you’ll be forever refilling a small one.

I used to have a 3 lb like this. It was a huge POS and I would tell you to not bother. I got a LEM 5 lb vertical this year, and wish that I would have spent the extra $40 years ago. 5 lb capacity is good for what I do. I'm only making 20 lbs at a time, so 4 refills is no biggie. Whether you go 5, 10, or 15 lb, vertical is the only way to go!

I don’t plan on making any batches bigger than 5-10lbs for the foreseeable future, so it should be plenty! Any tips on clamping or anchoring to the counter?

Just clamp mine right on the edge of the counter.

Just clamp mine right on the edge of the counter. Ditto. Use the clamps that come with it.
