Anyone ever tried smoking salt?

[Fire Me Boy!]

Curious... I've seen a few folks online that have smoked their own salt (that stuff's expensive from the store) and wondering if anyone here has done it? Experiences, lessons learned?

Ask Joey about bath salts. He might know a thing or two.

Seems to be the trend in Florida....

Yeah, it's easy to do. But it takes some time. Just soak sea salt in Liquid Smoke and cook at a real low temperature. That's how I do it, at least.

I've snorted salt and it sucked royally.

FMB,

You will need to get a couple of aluminum pie tins and cheese cloth.

Poke holes in the bottom of the pie tins and line them with cheese cloth.

Spread your Kosher salt (I like diamond crystal for it's triangle shape) in an even layer. Smoked for several hours. I stir it every 30 minutes until it gets dark brown.

I just smoke it now whenever I am smoking something else. It is great on steaks, fish and a roasted chicken.

The cheesecloth is a great suggestion. Rep.

Once you get a good dark brown on it, how long will it keep? I've read that the smell will dissipate pretty quickly, but the flavor stays...

Imagined a salt joint. LAWL

I put mine in a mason jar and it seems to last about 2-3 weeks. It will dissipate over time.
