It's almost the "season" for cold smoking again. Last year I did Sea Salts and whole peppercorns, packages them in separate, small jars and gave to a couple of folks for Xmas gifts along with some pork rub.
Cool! It's amazing how much "gourmet" smoked salt sells for... I'd like to try to smoke other spices as well ...hmm cinnamon? How about homemade smoked paprika? ;D
