Not that I started this post, Heather actually did.
But since I received our early Christmas present from The Mom (and Dee) today I am sharing what we are going to do with it.
I'm sure you know that there was a precondition with this gift, they want it going towards food storage needs.
I had discussed with mom the topic of having lots of wheat but nothing to grind it with. So I have been on the look out for a decent hand grinder that would be half way economical and actually be able to make flour and not just crack it.
This is what I came up with.
The Family Grain Mill should do the trick when it comes to actually having to use that wheat. It will also flake oats or barley for meal.
At $109.95 this is affordable for most everybody.
Of course I am also assuming that there will not be any electricity when we have to actually use it.

We have a hand grinder similar to that, I used it a couple of times so I know it does the job. I just hope I never have to use it regularly.
We have a good amount of wheat, rice, beans etc. So I'm working on getting a good three month supply of the things we eat often and other often neeeded things (TP anyone?)
The reviews I read on it say that you have to run the flour thru twice, but that it does come out a nice fine flour.
I am working on getting the solid 3 month supply first. Then I will work on the wheat and such! Thanks for the idea. My friend says that kitchen aid has a grinder attachment. I am not sure how helpful a hand grinder will be when the electricity goes out because I will not be able to use my oven to make bread anyways! I am going to have to think about what will work for me.
I have 3-5 gallon propane tanks for our grill which has a side burner.
Also 2 dutch ovens. Which reminds me that I need to stock up on some extra charcoal.
I figure that is how the cooking will get done.
Make sure the kitchen aid attachment will actually grind into flour and not just meal.
