Smoked Salt

[cheech]

When I look at the smoked salt in the store it is almost black but when I do it the salt is lighter and not as strong smell to it.

I placed on a tray and move it around any thoughts on how to make it?

Mine comes out amber as well. I found that a shallow dish does a much better job than a deep one. My forst try I used a ceramic bowl, and since only the surface is exposed to smoke, I had to turn it all the time, and didn't get a strong enough taste. now I just put a little on a cheap stoneware plate, and it works better.

Cheech, I'm wondering if it's the origin of the salt. I'll be somokin' some kosher along with peppercorns and a few other goodies this weekend. I'll hopefully have some Q View.

I'm guessin the stuff you buy at the store has been treated with liquid smoke and not done in a smoker, thus the darker color and stronger smell.

use kosher or sea salt and place it in a stainless steel strainer/collander
mix it every once in a while,and there you have it.
