Smoking a chunk of pork for the evening meal MES 30 & AMNPS

[kathrynn]

How does the salt come out or was it your first time?  My wife fell in love with smoked salt on radishes when we were at a really high end restaurant that had a waiting bar last year and I haven't been able to find it anywhere locally yet.  Any help would be appreciated.

If you have a Fresh Market or Earth Fare grocery store near you...they carry smoked salt and many other "exotic" salts.

Salt coming along nicely. It will go back in the next time I hot smoke with Pitmaster's Blend. So far I have oak, maple & hickory smoked salts 

Well the pulled pork turned out great & my parents (especially my dad) really enjoyed it. Chef JimmyJ's rub did a fine job as well! I am very glad I decided to smoke it for them...

This is right when I took it out...

It is wrapped & has been resting in a cooler for now.

My parents just got here so I am gonna cook some CB for them to try while it is resting then I will be able to post results of the CB challenge.

Updates to follow...

I usually try to get at least 8 hrs of smoke on my salt. I'll put it in, bottle it when the smoke is over & throw it back in next time I'm using that particular wood again.

I posted this for another member but it was on the previous page - it is a really good thread for smoking salt...

I hot smoke my salt & it comes out great - here is a good thread on salt smoking  http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/t/125996/the-great-smoked-salt-experiment
