Smoked Salt
« on: April 08, 2017, 09:45:34 AM »
Has anyone ever smoked a batch of salt to be used as a flavoring season?
Wondering what type of wood would be best used?

I did a bunch (about two cups) a while back.  I do not remember which wood I used but I put the sale into a big coffee filter and stirred it around every 30 minutes or so.
I still have some left.  I cannot taste any smoke flavor when I use it on food but I can taste it by itself.

I use iodized sea salt. I just used Hickory. We use it on everything when we salt.

About how long in the smoker? Is it ok to put in with meat while its smoking or better to smoke separate?   Thanks!!

i did mine for a long time like 8 hours cause i had to go out twice.. so i set it up to run while i was out the first part of the day .. then when i got home from that i put in new wood and let it go for another 4

now to me i can't say the salt has a strong smoke flavor but after having it sit for a couple days now
i tasted it and it definitely has a different taste than normal plain salt.. but it's not so much smokey as well it has kind of a pretzel taste to it

which is fine by me i like pretzels  it will be good on stuff for sure

I put table salt in coffee filters on the top rack of the smoker with meat below.  I also smoked cayenne pepper -- really good.  Oak wood.  I left the salt and cayenne in there several hours.  Pulled it out after a couple of hours and gave it a stir.
