Thanks Jakob.
It is a cool thing, what pressure are you guys aiming for and how much kernels are you putting in?
I imagine just about any sort of kernels would work in that contraption.

The only pressure I know of hand is is the field corn which is 165 psi. The guy in our church who built it they have puffed about everything in it any grains, pasta and even beans.

Here’s a paper with some information about a particular puffer (wood fired :slightly_smiling_face:) along with instructions and recipes.

Today I ordered a Chinese “Popcorn Machine.” I’'ll try to remember to report back when it shows up.

No endorsement, at least not yet.

We’re trying to avoid the glyphosate in cereal. Organic grain seems easier to find (or grow, ideally) than organic dry cereal, and we like having the “means of production.” This should help. And who knows, maybe puffed bean snacks will become a favorite.

@Chris, I know I’m wandering from the topic. Feel free to split it off if you think it best.

Thanks for the manual Kent, it answered some questions I had in my head about the different pressures for different things.
The puffer you bought and the puffer in the manual don’t look the same, the one you bought is nicer looking but the pipe one is probably easier to clean. Function is always first but the eye wants to be pleased too :smiley:
I hope you will be happy with it, we would like to get some pics and a report when you tried it, perhaps even a video. :wink: :smile:

The manual isn’t for the one I bought. As far as I can tell, there is no manual for the one I bought, unless it’s in Chinese. This manual is the best information I’ve found online. There’s probably more out there, but since Google AI knows better than I do what I’m looking for, I haven’t found much.

The one we purchased is smaller than the one in the manual, but that reduces the damage if it, or I, mess up. It cost more than I hoped to spend, but cereal and snacks aren’t cheap (what is these days?), so the payback period may not be too long. More important, we’ll know what we’re eating. I hope :slightly_smiling_face:
