Smoked salt?
« Reply #-1 on: December 31, 2012, 02:28:27 PM »
Has anyone done smoked salt? I'm just wondering about smoke, time and temperatures... thought it might be interesting to make my own.

Thanks!

I've made quite a bit in my electric Bradley smoker.    Takes a few hours of heavy smoke.   Then seal in an airtight jar and let it hang out for a while.

I spread the salt on commercial coffee filters for better smoke penetration..

Ditto stc.  Salt can take a lot of smoke so I often "resmoke" what's in the jar (and add some new) the next time I've got space.

I also put it on a coffee filter when I'm smoking in my  Bradley.

Mike just put some on a coffee filter during any of your smokes. If I remember right the melting temp of salt is something like 2700 degrees
