My grinder is like the bottom right one.

That’s a stuffer.

Stub, Do you only use FoodSaver bags or have you found other vac bags that are just as good?

The wife re-supplies me with the bags so I have no clue, I just live here

I've stored breakfast sausage in all of the above. Saran wrap & butcher paper/Zip Locks, vacuum sealer bags, 1 & 2 lb sausage tubes/bags. I prefer the 1 lb sausage tubes, they're cheap & work great. Once my sausage meat is where I want it, I'll load up my big stuffer and get after it. I use a tape machine to seal the end of the bags, works great and no air inside. When it's time to eat I just slice my patties with a sharp knife and remove the plastic. Perfect round patties ready to go.

That’s a stuffer.

Good recommendations here, LEM makes a good product.

For a couple deer a year a 1/2 hp grinder and a 5lb stuffer will get it done. Depending on how you trim your meat, you may have to stop and clean the blade/plate a few times with a 1/2 hp but it will work. Personally I would buy a 1hp grinder though and be done with it, especially if we're gonna process a buffalo . I used to use a 1/2 hp then I bought a 1hp Weston, big difference. Thing is a beast and never slows down.

It you're going to get into sausage making a dedicated stuffer is a must. I hate stuffing casings out of a grinder. Like Senior Payne mentioned a foot pedal would be nice to have. I do a lot of processing by myself and still don't have one lol.

Manual grinders serve their purpose too. I have a small manual grinder that I use for little jobs in the kitchen. I also take that small manual grinder and small 5lb stuffer with me when I'm working away from home, big stuff stays at home.

A tip on packaging.
Bag up up ham muscles and backstraps as large pieces (this also saves a bunch of time packaging). You can always thaw them out and cut up into steaks, strips, chunks or even grind later. Or leave them whole for a roast.
