Hello everyone...Let me start off by saying this forum is the #1 reason I own a CS!! (Not to mention the quality and ease of operating made it a no-brainer!) Anyway my question is has anyone ever smoked salt? My father-in-law just dropped off a bag of rock salt (NaCl) although I don't know if its Kosher salt and asked me if I could smoke it. It seems he heard you could purchase smoke flavored salt and I guess he's trying to eliminate the middle-man. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Smokeeater, Tom is right,but a screen will work better than a pan--metal, like for a door/window. This applies to your rocksalt not reg salt, unless you get a finer screen. Crumble the rock salt before smoking, for a smokier salt--not too fine.(wrap in a paper towel or wax paper and whack it with a frying pan or wrap and use a rooling pen with sufficient preassure.) Hope this helps! Zeb

Another thought - I was at my local hardware store getting the mower blade sharpened and noticed they did screen repair. They must have had 12 different types of screen. I am going to get a couple of square feet and play around with a way to fasten over one of my racks. Should work slick as salt...

This is what I do and it works great. For some reason my local stores (safeway, larry's & albertson's) don't carry smoked salt.
