x post: grain mills: retsels little ark or country life?

[Guest guest]

HI! sorry for the cross post, just between here and dicussing nt.

im looking into buying a grain mill and these are the two that i like

the best. i really do like the country life better but its WAY more

expensive - probably 500 with tax and adding a corn auger to grind

beans and corn, and a power bar to make turning easier.

reviews ive read on the little ark say its WAy harder to turn and

takes a much longer time to grind a fine flour. im not looking to

grind tons of flour anyway but i also dont want it to be torture to

grind a few cups

also, i havent found any info on exactly what the little ark can

grind. most comanies give a list of thngs NOT to put in the mill. but

retsel doesnt say for this one? id like to be able to do corn, seeds

and maybe even nuts.

the good thing about is that it comes with metal burs and a stone

that you cxan easily switch. it doesnt seem like country life makes

stones at all?

is the corn auger really necessary for the country life? does it do

nuts and seeds?

id love to hear from anyone who has used these models and hear what

you like/dislike about them.

thanks, jill
