Smoked Sea/Kosher Salt

fruitguy

Been wanting to do this.  What does everyone use for a pan?  Does it need air holes in it for the smoke or do you just dump it on a cookie sheet.

Thanks,

I use a cheap splatter screen and lay the salt out in an even layer. Mix it around ever couple hours.

I used a little pizza pan. Worked fine. Just mixed around every now and then

Just a cookie sheet has worked fine.  You could double stack your cookie sheets and smoke some water as well  (refreeze for bourbon or bloodie marys).

@Chubbs   I'm going to smoke some ketchup as you mentioned - just put it in a dish?  stir it once in a while?

Hickory can be over powering. With smoked ice, I like pecan......a mellow kiss of smoke.
