There's nothing difficult about this blender method, though breaking it up by hand to prepare it for the blender is a little tough...builds character, gives ya shaman-hands.
If you're not scratched and bleeding you havent worked hard enough for your spice. I've always seen buying powdered bark as a total cop out but to be honest swim would have bought said bark if he could a few months back. These days he prefers a walk through the bush

Does it HAVE to be powder for STB? Or just ground finely and stringy?

I have always had best results going dry. When I tried freezing it would go warm to quickly because of the friction. I went from garden shredder -> blender -> coffee grinder -> flour sieve -> coffee grinder     From my experience slightly shredded bark will still work but not as good as powdered or as close to as possible. Pressure cookers have higher temps and allow you to lyse the cell more which can help in the situation. In either case I find that it is best to use a flour sieve to seperate the powder from the shredded fibre and cook the fibrous stuff in the pressure cooker. P.S. I go from blender on 1 minute then put all of that into a coffee grinder for 30 seconds and you end up in the clear, make sure you have good blenders and grinders though because they can go out the window quick!

I found this type of grinder on Vevor.com Looks pretty heavy duty. It's a little over $100, but I'm sure it would last a lot longer than a blender and a coffee grinder. I couldn't figure out how to post a pic, but here's a link: https://www.vevor.com/el...wing-type-p_010326769844DancinDog attached the following image(s):  us_DDD1000G3750WFN4AV1_original_img-v2_grain-mill-grinder-m100-1.2.jpg (310kb) downloaded 42 time(s).

Btw, the link you posted doesn't work. I have not tried it. I just saw this thread and it reminded me of the wide variety of tools Vevor offers at affordable prices. I bought a pottery wheel from them for $220 last X-mas and it's not a professional quality wheel, but it's darn good for the price. I don't have any use for commercial kitchen equipment, but I enjoy browsing the stuff they sell. Do you need a soft-serve ice cream machine, or how about a doughnut machine? So, after seeing the DIY blender/grinder posted here I went to the Vevor site and searched for "grinder" and found these. I figured somebody here might like to know about them. Hopefully, if anyone gets one they'll let us know how they like it.
