I got this book the other day about Salting, Smoking and Curing. I noticed a lot of recipes were calling for "Pink Salt". I finally found the section of the book that it was talking about Pink Salt. It said "Most Recipes involving Smoking require Pink Salt as an insurance against possiblity of Botulism Poisoning." So I am a little confused. I have read a lot of smoking recipes on this forums and other places on the Web, but never have seen any that call for Pink Salt. So do you really need Pink Salt for smoking and if so, where do you get it? I have never seen it in stores before?
