OK, me three. Turkish grinders work very well and give a fine grind. You won't need to buy a Zassenhaus though - they are about $80 these days. A good Greek model should do just fine.

I have a stone motor and pestal. It works great for peppercorns and for making wet marinades.

I also use one of those grinders and also got it at World market. Great for a few tablespoons of pepper...
When I need a bunch of fresh ground pepper, like when making up rubs, I use a burr type coffee mill I picked up several years ago for like $15. This is the one I have.
For table use and stuff, we just use the regular old wooden pepper mill...

You could always go the Alton Brown method and hook up a crank one to the chuck of your cordless drill.

I've had the magnum for about a year or so and love it. I bought it after going through several of the battery powered POSs.
I've got the magnum and it's the best grinder I've ever used. Two quick turns and there's plenty of peper for most folks. On my fried eggs, three or four cranks and you can barely see the egg under the peper. If your looking for a grinder that works with little effort on your part, the Magnum is the one to buy.

somebody shut me the fark up.
Got a blender? Assuming you're starting with dried whole peppers, just fill your blender up about half way and pulse it to the desired consistancy. I fill several coffee cans this way each year.

I just picked up the Trudeau Graviti from Sur La Table myself. Haven't used it much, but it's been good to me so far...

Ditto on that... I bought mine back when he was still on the air (late 80's early 90's)
and it works like a champ!!!

Are you sure this is the right thread for you guys?
Kitchenaid Coffee grinder. We have several of them. One for coffee, one for mixing, and one for mixing individual. They all have the same blade and design but I like to keep them separate. And they were on sale at woot.com

Thanks guys.
I'm leaning towards the Magnum for general cooking and maybe
getting a cheap burr grinder for rubs.
Just a thought.
Does anyone think that it is really necessary to use freshly ground pepper
in a rub that will not be completely used and have to be stored?

Short answer? No.
When I am making up bulk batches of rubs, etc. I almost always use purchased pre-ground. As long as it comes from a freshly opened container it works fine. I will grind pepper for small batches that are to be used at once, and/or for something special, like a big rib roast, or holiday meal.

I jumped ahead to post and didn't read all of the responses. I have both of the grinders you mention in your original post plus the Unicorn Pepper Gun. I highly recommend any of the Unicorn products, especially the Magnum plus for larger amounts of freshly ground pepper.
I'm going to go back and read all of the responses now.

Okay, read all of the posts now. Good thread. Yeah, Jeff Smith WAS on TV, right up until he molested a boy scout - allegedly, of course!
