Pretzels

Has anyone tried the pretzel recipe that is on the BGE website.  I will be trying it tonight and thought I would ask for any hints.  Also, does anyone know where to find Pretzel salt?  I have tried 3 grocery stores and the best I can do is course Kosher Salt and course Sea Salt.  The stuff I remember is pure white and a bigger size.

Pretty straight forward.  I cooked a pizza first at 650 degrees and then shut the vents down to drop the temperature to 475.  Followed the recipe on the BGE Website and voila.  They are better than I expected.  Move over Aunt Annies!!

I've been trying to post this for several days but I was caught in the 'posting requires approval' problem.

I have had great luck with Alton Brown's recipe located at:

We live in pretzel country (Lancaster, PA) so getting salt here is not a problem. All the bulk food stores sell it.  I'm sure Kosher salt would work fine even though it is a little smaller in size.
