Grain Mills, by hand.

Okay, ya’ll were talking about these on the old thread. I know there were some other posters who said they owned mills they liked. I am now being asked by my guy what kind I would like to have and would like some recommendations cause he’s trying to find them online right now... and the first one he found is some $400 outlandish monstrosity and *I* am the frugal one in this team so help me find something realistic!!! I know someone said their’s cost about $50 and they liked it.

No, you do not want a $400.00 one to grind grain for 2 people and it won’t work with no electric....LOL for that price, it should include a generator.

Maybe JD will be able to help out, he did a lot of research on them last year and I don’t know which one he bought.

I know a man, who took the old hand crank meat grinder, rigged it with a pully and belt and grinds his grain with a fully charged battery [car type], guess there is a 12 volt motor turning the pulley/belt.

My hand cranked one was stolen, my fault for having out in the shed, to make room.
