I know what you meant by this lol

Is this the same Peugeot as automaker?

What material are the grinding parts underneath made of?

I wear Lee Park designs. Super comfy when broken in, great feel for switches. Drawback is they are not water proof. Had mine for 9 years so far.

I worked at Sur La Table and one year they clearanced a few models out. I got lucky and scored a nice set.

I think it's been pretty much proven that rice grains don't really do anything to prevent clumping other than helping break up clumps mechanically, so that backs up your experience

I would love one of those, Vic Firth doesn't make them anymore but they sold the factory to Fletcher's Mill, which now makes pepper grinders, rolling pins, and other turned stuff

Still have mine from my moms when I was a kid!

My wife was using her mom's this very afternoon. 10/10, real buy it for life.

The main purpose of a salt grinder is to be able to control the grain size.

Not even flavorizer bars? Seems like we replace the flavorizer bars on our Genesis at least every 12-18 months.

That was my thought. I have a Spirit and use it all the time, several times a week. This one looks like it's been in storage and touched like twice.

Some of these parts are considered consumables.

I have a pair of shoes I bought 20 years ago and never wore, they're still like brand new!

I used that exact one today! Was wondering what year it was made. Works like a charm!

I found a wooden pepper mill a while back for like $1. I’ve been using for years now!

How often do you use it?

No doubt. But they're worth it in the long run, right? I have a Vic Firth pepper mill. 12 years and hasn't skipped a beat. Well worth the investment, which I think was somewhere around $55 at the time.

They got new ones at my workplace a month ago and they are terrible. Maybe knock-offs or just not the same as they used to.

A relative used to have one years ago and it was fantastic.

I bought a wood one two years ago and just discovered it has a serious split, despite been having been well cared for. I’m hoping I can get it replaced 🤞

I was not Peugeot. :)

Huh, interesting. Always assumed it's entirely rust proof. The more you know..

I have a manual one from 1960!

You're right, they're both for salt. Oh well, time to actually buy some rock salt, we've always used a shaker sparingly.

It keeps my salt from clumping since I like using sea salt or pickling salt without the anti-caking stuff in it. I always find the rice grains or whatnot other tricks kind of annoying in my climate and ineffective.
