(a) providing a meat stuffer with an end fitting, the end fitting having a plurality of pivotable fins;
(b) inserting said end fitting so that said fitting is adjacent to one lateral end of a cone-shaped mold casing; and

wherein the effective diameter of the end fitting changes, as that mold casing is moved along that end fitting.
