How do you use grinders?

I've just bought a grinder, just a cheap acrylic one. I've not used one before and don't have a clue what to do with it. Can you put any part of the plant in it or just the bud? Do you use it on dried or freshly picked plant?
What do you end up with and can I just stick it in a pipe and smoke it?
Help please.

Put the buds in, try and avoid any stalks. It should ideally be dry before your grind it but thats not necessary. It should come out in a fine ground state and yes you can put that straight into your pipe and smoke it! :)

If the kind you got is the little round 2-piece one that opens up to reveal little spikes on the inside, here's what you do:

-Open it up, place your bud on the spikes.
-Close it, you might have to push a little, and you'll probably feel a little crunch, that's the spikes going through your bud.
-Rotate the 2 pieces opposite of each other, back and forth, for about a minute.
-You should open up to rather ground up weed. Dump on rolling tray, de-seed, de-stem, smoke up! 8)

i usually turn it about 3 times so my bud doesnt grind into powder, now if i want to roll a J / blunt, then i grind it up pretty good. I love my grinder, best thing i have bought since........well i guess my pipe. :shock:

I've been wondering this for a while, never had the time to try it but can you use grinders with hash?

Wet grade is so fucking annoying. Its normally really high tho. When I put when shit in a grinder it just rolls into little balls
