Sanny Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Cozy, you're amazing! You never cease to surprise us. That's just the neatest thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnyboy Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Damit Cozy; I got to have one. I just need to figure out if I want it to match the others, or go with something different. Looks like it'll make grinding much easier for those big jobs like ribs, butts, briskets. Doing the big jobs, twisting of the other style mills gets a bit hard on the old arms/hands after awhile. I think you just solved that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanny Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Hey, Cozy, would you take a photo with something next to it, to demonstrate relative size? An egg, a quarter, beer can... something? Hard to get perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, does look like the right amount of black pepper for a butt eehhh? That's what I'm talkin' bout'. Yea baby!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U2PLT Posted June 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 The Grinder is 3" in diameter at its base. The Dymondwood bottom is 4.75" in diameter and 4.0" tall. I did not like the wooden crank handle and I have cut off the pin that held it on and I am going to install a matching Dymondwood handle. It will hold 1/2 cup of ground spice/coffee in the bottom container. My son had asked me about a pepper grinder that would grind out at least a 1/4 cup easily, I showed him a grinder I had bought some time ago but had never built a box to house it. These grinders you can buy from craft supplies like Penn State Ind. always show a box with a pull out draw as the wood base. After I quickly did a box one for Tom, he said it was great for grinding pepper so he could make his own very fresh BBQ Rub. I decided to try a round one using my segmented techniques and I really like that way it came out. I am going to enter it in the 2008 Texas State Fair Creative Arts Division.

PaulR Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Looks great how easy is the mechanism to clean, if you obly use it for pepper it's fine but using a variety of spice (chili etc) I'ld want to be able to give it a thorough clean at times... It's another thing of beauty though!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U2PLT Posted June 13, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 The Grinder mechanisms are easy to take apart and then clean them. You just have to remove the two bolts that hold the grinder to the bowl. I coated the inside of the bowl with acrylic lacquer that is used for automobile clear coat which is very tough stuff. You should be able to wipe clean the bowl with a damp cloth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanny Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 I think you can also clean grinders by running dry rice through them. Grind the rice until it comes clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U2PLT Posted June 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Johnnyboy you can solve your cleaning problem by buying 2, one for coffee & one for spices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeDJ16 Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Hey U2PLT, I moved this thread to give you a spot in the related product section. Less likely to get lost as quick when the threads move down the list. -=Jasen=- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
