Grain Mill Recommendation

[Knob Creek]

We have an electric Wonder Mill that we presently use. There have been a few older posts on mills. Looking for recommendation on what is out there now for a hand crank model to have as backup.

I’m interested in this too. Bought a Mockmill about a month ago which has been great. But would like a manual backup.

I’ve been looking too. Very interested in this thread.
Maybe @enbloc has experience with this?

Grain Maker 99. I bought mine back when they were a little over $300.00 They are more than double that now but it will last forever and can be handed down as a family heirloom.



Its closest competitor is the Country Living Grain Mill @ $579.00 now.

The good ones and great ones are all expensive now but if you want quality, these are the two leaders.

Probably more that I want to spend for a backup. But if I did then I would spend the extra $100 for the Grain Maker.

I picked up 2 of these I keep stashed away. Oddly enough named. Pretty sure I bought them from LDS long time ago with wheat berries. The stones in them are for coarser grinds but you can buy fine stones as well.

I see old antique corn shellers around here periodically. Most people buy them as a country kitchen decoration.

It looks very fast and spits the cob out a chute. If I grew corn, (no longer on my diet) I would want one to process it.

Diverticulitis?

Ye, they're fast, but when you're looking at a few hundred or several thousand bushels to shell, it's like taking a car completely apart using a wrench and only getting 1/8th of a turn at a time on each bolt.

Here's how it's done now.
