Those of you who have a grain mill that you're powering with a drill, do you add the grains to the hopper and THEN start the drill or do you have the drill running and then start pouring in your grains?
I just used my new mill for the 2nd time yesterday. The first time, it was quite a learning curve and I couldn't seem to get the grains to go through the rollers if I loaded up the hopper with grains before starting the drill. So I had to start the drill so the rollers were running and then pour the grains in, but slow enough where they didn't pile up in the hopper. If that happened, the grain would stop going through the rollers and I'd have to dump the hopper and start again.
This time around, it seemed to work just fine pouring in the grains in the hopper and then starting the drill. Curious on what others do is all.
EDIT: Forgot to mention, it's the 3 roller Monster Mill.
