Tried my hand at some smoked sea salt. Used applewood and a small amount of red oak and it turned out pretty mellow. Put it back into origional grinder and made a nice bump to some chicken tonight..

Interesting,  I never thought about making my own.  Pretty cool...

Nice Dave, I do the same thing. I've also smoked my own paprika at the same time. Way better than store bought and cheaper too!   I order from these guys a lot www.americanspice.com

   Quiggs, is that "Pink Himalayan"?

Many of you have probably choked looking at the prices for some seasalts on the shelf.   ANd rightly so.  Some go for upwards of 17 bucks a pound( and those are the cheap  "expensive ones").

 I recently searched the web and  found some Himalayan Sea Salt from the San Francisco Bath Salt Co( on the web)
( erase the conotations from your brain housing group) in the 2- 3$ per pound range.  Health food stores want 10-20$ per pound for the stuff
( it's pink and  250 million years old).

 It's  food grade,though they call it bath salt, you can get it in a variety of grinds, and in bulk quantities  of almost any amount.

 Last time I bought 25 pounds of the stuff, then bought a bunch of 2 cup  decorative containers for local   "Big Lots" store, duplicated the label, and gave them away for Christmas gifts..


 Never hurts to stock up.

Plain ole Spice Island sea salt...

 I checked Amazon and  Spice Island
 goes for over  35$ shipped for less than 2 pounds??  You could get 10 pounds of  Himalayan, I mentioned( it's been "smoked" for 250 million years for that price.

 Repent!

This was one grinder mill worth about $3.50....

If you add your smoked sea salt to your homemade rub then you already have a headstart on the smoke flavor! Also anything that you cook inside like burgers in a skillet or chicken in the oven will taste CLOSE to cooked on the grill! PAT

I've gotta get smore pecan. I smoked some salt a few weeks ago too. I never thought of dressing up my pap-a-rika (as Guy says).
