3″ JOINT PAPER DISPENSER GRINDER

The 3″ Joint Paper Dispenser Grinder is a 5-piece metal grinder built for rollers who hate digging around for papers every time they pack a cone. It holds your 1 1/4 papers right in the body, gives you a reliable coarse grind for easy-burning joints, and keeps kief stashed in its own chamber. Everything you need to prep a roll lives in one compact, 3-inch (76mm) setup.

What You Get Out of It

  • Always have papers on deck — built-in paper compartment keeps a full 1 1/4 pack right where you grind.
  • Joints that burn the way they should — coarse grind texture is perfect for airflow and even, consistent burns.
  • Less mess, more stash — multi-chamber design sifts and saves kief instead of letting it stick to your tray.
  • No extra tools needed — integrated kief scoop lets you actually use what you collect instead of just looking at it.
  • Dial in your vibe — available in multiple color options so your grinder doesn’t look like everybody else’s.
  • Compact but functional — 3 inches (76mm) across is small enough for a bag or pocket, but still comfy in hand.

Best For

This grinder is made for joint lovers who roll more than they bowl. If you’re the type who keeps a tray, lighter, and papers all laid out for nightly seshes, this pulls two of those tools into one. It also makes a solid upgrade if you’re moving up from a small 2-piece grinder and want something that actually collects kief and stores papers without needing extra storage and packaging around.

The Basics: How It Works

The top section is your standard metal tooth grinding chamber. Load your herb, twist the lid, and it breaks everything down to a slightly chunky, coarse grind that’s ideal for rolling. That ground material drops through into the main chamber where you can scoop it out and build your joint.

Below that, you’ve got a screened kief catcher that slowly fills as you grind through your stash. The included scoop lets you tap that extra potency back on top of a joint or into whatever piece you’re using. Off to the side of all this is a dedicated compartment sized for 1 1/4 papers, so the same grinder that preps your herb also keeps your papers clean, flat, and ready to grab.

If you like to keep your rolling station clean, pairing this with a nonstick dab mat or work mat makes it easy to catch crumbs and herbs while you grind and roll.

How to Use It (Without Overthinking It)

Pop the top, toss in your herb, and twist until you feel everything move smoothly with a bit of resistance — that’s how you know you’ve hit that nice coarse consistency. Unscrew the middle chamber to access your ground flower and load up your paper from the side compartment, which is sized for standard 1 1/4 packs. When you’re done, check the bottom kief catcher and use the built-in scoop whenever you want to give a roll a little extra kick.

When it starts to feel sticky or hard to turn, that’s your cue to clean it. Just separate the pieces, tap out any loose material, and wipe or soak metal parts in isopropyl alcohol, then rinse and dry thoroughly before putting it back into your daily setup next to your favorite smoke shop products.

Fit & Everyday Use

At 3 inches (76mm), this grinder is big enough for decent-sized loads but still easy to palm and stash in a bag. The coarse grind works especially well if you’re rolling cones or straight joints and want airflow without having to break up dense chunks by hand. If you’re usually packing bowls or topping off silicone pipes, the grind texture still works, but the real shine is for rollers who live out of 1 1/4 packs.

FAQ

  • Q: What size papers actually fit in the dispenser?
    A: The built-in compartment is designed specifically for standard 1 1/4 joint papers. Kingsize, minis, or unusually packaged papers usually won’t slide in cleanly.
  • Q: Does it grind fine enough for bowls or just coarse for joints?
    A: It’s tuned for a coarse grind that’s ideal for rolling, but you can usually get a bit finer by twisting longer. If you only smoke bowls and want a super fine grind, you might pair this with a more traditional fine-grind piece from your regular smoke shop gear.
  • Q: How do I clean the kief screen and scoop?
    A: Let everything cool off if it’s been near any heat, then tap out loose material and wipe with a dry or slightly alcohol-dampened cloth. For deeper cleans, a short soak in isopropyl alcohol followed by a rinse and full dry works well.
  • Q: Will this replace my rolling tray?
    A: It can definitely simplify your setup by combining grinder and paper storage, but you’ll still probably want something to catch spills while you roll. A small mat or tray plus this grinder is a nice compact alternative to a full rolling station or separate accessories.
  • Q: Is this good for travel?
    A: Yes, the 3-inch size is easy to pack and having papers inside the grinder means fewer loose items to forget. Just make sure everything inside is legal where you’re traveling and keep it emptied if you’re crossing stricter checkpoints.
  • Q: Does the paper compartment crush or bend my papers?
    A: As long as you’re using standard 1 1/4 packs and don’t overstuff it, your papers should stay flat and protected. It’s a big step up from loose packs getting folded in your pocket next to a lighter and a couple of joint tubes.
  • Q: Can I use it without loading papers in the dispenser?
    A: Absolutely. The grinder works just fine on its own; the paper compartment is just a bonus. You can keep it empty or stash an extra pack so you’re never stuck mid-grind without something to roll.

If your ideal setup is “less clutter, more rolling,” the 3″ Joint Paper Dispenser Grinder pulls your essentials into one solid metal piece that actually earns its spot in your kit.
