Smoked Salt

πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ United States

Servings: 96 Prep: 10 minutes Cook: 4 hours Total: 4 hours 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup coarse sea salt or kosher salt
  • 1 cup flaky salt
  • wood pellets or chips (applewood, alder, hickory, oak, or mesquite)

Steps

  1. Spread the salt in a thin, even layer on a splatter screen or foil tray.
  2. Load a pellet tube with wood chips and light it.
  3. Place the tube in an unlit grill or smoker, then add the salt tray inside and close the lid.
  4. Smoke the salt, stirring occasionally, for 2-4 hours for mild flavor, 8-12 hours for stronger flavor, or up to 24 hours for intense smokiness.
  5. Let the salt cool if needed, then transfer to an airtight container and store in a cool, dry place.

Notes

Smoking time controls intensity: shorter for mild, longer for strong or BBQ-style smokiness.
