[Gristmillers] Grits Stone Dressing

[jgenola at cox.net]

Ron,
I would like to know what you did on the 20" to get the 3:1 grits over meal.  The best I can do on mine is to get about 30 lbs of grits from 100 lbs of corn.  I've talked to several of the old guys around this area and they all say the same thing, if you get 30 to 35 pounds of grits per 100 lbs of corn you are doing good.

Who dressed your 20" stones?  Did you buy the mill as is or did you rebuild it?
