I want your recommendations

[Proud Prepper]

I'm looking for another manual wheat/grain grinder, other than the wondermill Jr. Deluxe. I need to buy one and want to make sure there isn't a better one out there.

My wife is looking for a grain grinder too. It'll be interesting to see what recommendations that you get.

I have heard good reports on the Country Living hand cranked grain mill. I have not used one before, but if I was to, that would probably be where I start looking. Hope that helps. If you have questions about it, I can shoot an email and find out more from a friend who uses that brand.

I ran across this article that does a quick comparison of a few hand grain mills. I saw it has both the one you currently have and also the Country Living one.

I can't remember the brand name, but a small family company up in Montana (or another artic state) makes it. Fairly compact. You can get a motor to drive it or hand crank. I remember it was a bright red and not cheap. I saw it at Mother Earth News Fair, if that helps. If I didn't already have one, I'd have bought it. Very very well made.

We have a country living one. Works well, and it’s easy enough to add a motor to. Good investment on both the grinder and the motor, because it takes a long time to grind by hand. Probably be easy to adapt a bike to it as well

Thanks for everyone's opinions. I ordered a second wonder mill jr. deluxe today. The country living one is also a good machine, I thought it was slightly over priced though.

What is it that you don’t like about the Wondermill Jr.?
I don’t have one. I considered getting one and the Wondermill Jr. was the one that I considered.

There isn't much I dont like about the current model of the wonder mill jr. Deluxe.
The older models had some problems with the shaft knob stripping out and paint chipping. Rusting washers and chief grinding stones. They have continually improved the wonder mill and corrected these problems. I was just trying to see if there was something better out there. The country living mill I would say is better, especially in doing more volume faster. It does cost almost twice as much. I went with another wonder mill for 2 reasons, the cost/value and the fact that I will have 2 to salvage parts from to make one operational grinder.

Smart move. I don’t know anything about either mill but always go for the practical route, and the spare parts makes sense.
