Hickory Smoked Salt
« Reply #-1 on: April 09, 2013, 12:35:22 PM »
Did another bottle of Mediterranean Sea Salt. The salt got a total of 8 hours of Hickory Smoke on two back to back days. Now it will sit corked for a couple of weeks, then I will use it in my salt grinder.

 Loaded into the Bradley waiting for the AMZNPS to get fired up and smoking



After the first 4 hours on day one



After the second 4 hours on day two

Looks good to me...I have smoked and resmoked my salts several times for more flavor. I got some from the store and it was so  potent I threw it out. Homemade is great on fresh and grilled veggies and meats. Pam .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

Much better Sparky. I like using salts that I can run through my grinder but any salt will do

What are your favorite woods for smoking salt? How about paprika?

Thanks,

I love the way that course smoked salt looks - especially in those bottles.

I bet you'd really like Black Walnut then. It's flavor is like Hickory, but stronger.   They're related trees in the Juglandaceae (walnut) family.

I'll have to try this, I'm thinking a frogmat covered with cheese cloth might get more smoke penetration and enable spreading the salt thinner. Maybe not :)

What the hell give it a shot!! I have also heard of smoking fine ground sea salt then using that in your sausage formulations (recipes)
