Tonight when I salted a portion of my jerky with my smoked salt, I realized I was getting low.
So, I asked the bride if I had any full boxes of kosher salt, and she opened the bottom doors to the pantry and pointed me towards 4 boxes. I took one, kissed her on the forehead, and headed outside.
I have a stainless strainer and a stainless spatter cover that I use for salt when smoking. I covered the spatter cover, and then filled the strainer... Filled both 18" Amazen smoke tubes with hickory pellets, and lit them off.
I have a LOT of smoke rolling! I'll stir the salt every 2 hours or so until bedtime and then let the smoke do it's thing. In the morning, before work, I'll reload both tubes, light them, and leave them alone...
In the past, I've been asked about the salt on the grates, like you'll see in the pics, that's the fines that are falling out, I want the larger pieces to get the smoke, the fines, in my opinion, are sacrificial...
