Thread: Grain Mills- best one to buy?

I've been thinking about purchasing a grain mill, lately we've been cooking with homemade oat and rice flours to lower the gluten content we're ingesting and to eat healthier. This new found fad of mine is taking it's toll on my poor blender, which has definitely seen better days. Then there's the little issue of the Noise... dh likens it to marbles in a garbage disposal.

So, I think I might like to get a grain mill, however, I've discovered they are relatively expensive, so before I rush out and buy one, I'd really like to hear some recommendations from someone that already has one/uses on regularly.

1. What model/brand do you use?
2. Is it quiet? Semi-Quiet?
3. What types of grains do you grind in yours?
4. Any tips for a newbie grain grinder?

Thanks!
