Smoked salt is extremely easy to do and a fantastic way to infuse smoke flavor into your cooking. This is a very versatile and customizable dish as you can use a variety of woods as well as herbs should you desire. This is the base recipe to allow you to explore into new areas.
This recipe also makes a great gift idea for those special foodies in your life.
Smoked salts add a wonderful dimension to foods. In this recipe I used flaky salt, coarse salt works great too, as I love the crunch and flakiness the salt brings to a dish. I use this as a garnish to steaks and vegetables.
You can use many different types of salt but DO NOT use iodized table salt.
You can use a variety of woods as well. For this cook I used Hickory as I feel that brings full flavor. Another popular wood is apple wood for its milder infusion. but, feel free to play around and have fun with it!

Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your smoker to 165-180° Fahrenheit. If using a Traeger or pellet smoker, set to 165°.
Step 2: Place your salt on a baking sheet and place in the smoker. Smoke for 4-24 hours mixing every 30-60 minutes. The longer you smoke the salt, the darker in color and more smoke will be infused.
Note: This will stay good in an airtight container forever as salt doesn't go bad. However, be sure to store in an airtight container to maintain the full flavor profile.
