 Im after a decent grinder to grind down my pellets for my paste but dont want to spend a fortune on one. Anyone had any experience in buying any
|

 Keep an eye out at car boot sales, I like the old fashioned ...non electric mincers.
|
|
 Yes i agree with Fred the old fashioned steel grinders are the best, but mind your fingers.
|
|
 I use the coffee grinder which came with my old liquidiser, works a treat I can tell you!And if you get one with an old liquidiser, YOU CAN MAKE LIQUIDISED BREAD! (Another amazing tip from Derrick Deanos...he doesn’t work for Curry’s, but just has a lot of electrical appliances that he never uses!).

 save your money and fingers etc and buy it ready DONE
|
|
Cakey its what I currently use but its more expensive to buy. Plus if you actually riddle the powder you will find that it made up of several different types of pellet- maybe the offcuts of the swim stim range
|
|
you have to weigh up the cost of a grinder and the loss of a couple of fingers the mess etc against a few bags ............
|
|
I was hoping a simple cheap coffee grinder would do the trick
|
|
Go for the coffee grinder deal, no mess at all, also you can grind up any pellet that’s going (or if you are a tit like me, and buy a few bags of floating carp pellets by mistake! ). Great for making up paste, the whole deal.

 Any of the coffee grinders will work fine. A coffee bean is a lot harder than pellets. Just start on a rough setting then re-grind on a finner setting. The hand grinders are gre\t for breaking them down first or for making a feeder mix.
|
|
 The old fashioned hand griders are ok for trout pellets but the higher oil halibuts clog it up a bit.
|
|
I get the made up stuff anyway 
|
|
You could always put the pelets in a strong plastic bag and hit them with a mallet...
|
|
 I use a coffee grinder I got from tesco for just over a tenner. I've been using it for about two years and it has no problem grinding both halibut and trout pellets.
