My doctor says to stop eating salt, Is this the end of 55BBQ magic? . Anybody got this problem and have found a way to do good Q salt free. I love my smoked salmon,Ribs, pork and beef on my 55 and I am not sure give me life or give me BBQ.

hollowpoint:
Looks like the market is full of salt/sodium substitutes just Google and you'll get a bunch of hits.

I went through the same thing with my Diabetes and had to cut back on the sugars and carbs, especially since Brown sugar in my Q' was the main issue, so now I try to use Splenda in my many of my rubs and general cooking.

Good luck, and hang in there, some of the modern substitutes are very good and are hard to tell from the real thing.

hollowpoint,mrs.dash makes some good substitutes for salt,& comes in a lot of different flavors.there is some salt free rubs on the market,I will try & find some brand names for ya.there was some talk on the forum here while back about making their own rubs without salt.maybe some of them will jump in here to help you out.you can have great Q & a great life together.Life is great Q.

Hollowpoint,
You can still have the salt taste without the salt.

for me, cider vinegar is a good substitute for a lot of salt.If you use the vinegar mop and a vinegar-y sauce on the pork products I would bet you wouldn't miss the salt as much.It is hard to imagine beef without salt. Mrs Dash does and Penzeys.com has many salt free blends.Many of them have some kind of citrus peels in them--so the acid once again is a substitute for the saltiness

Moderation is a virtue. At least once a month I add some salt into mine, its my sinning time
