fast easy way to crush acorns
« on: September 11, 2009, 09:10:04 AM »
Guy's I literally have 250# of acorns I would like to crush them in to a powder form like the product "Acorn Rage", does anyone have a solution? My idea is a big metal pot and a large sledge hammer, or an old hand crank meat grinder. Does anyone have a better way?

The shredder side of my chipper/shredder would handle such a chore in about 15 seconds or less. See if you know anyone who owns one.

Good idea.  Just make sure you dump them under an oak tree.   ;)

All great solutions, I was trying to disperse the scent better not really going to dump in a pile. I like the chipper idea. Thanks

Put them on your driveway and run over them. Nature and my vehicles have worked it together very well for years.;D

If you crush them they will be very oily.  I think acorn rage must dehydrate them first or something.  Try a few and see if they don't turn into almost a peanut butter consistency with the oils.

get a mason jar and peel/crush enough acorns to fill 1/2 the jar . Add vodka or pharmaco grain alc. to 3/4 to full then seal the jar . Let sit for a couple mos then open and let alc. evaporate and only liquid and acorns left . You will have your cover scent . It works also with glands out of the deers back legs also .
