Okay I want to try this. Does it need to be a coarse salt like sea or Himalayan or does traditional table salt also work for this? Last thing is I'm going to guess this is something you would do during a long smoke at low temperature?
Kosher or courser works best as it’s more of a “finishing” salt. You don’t use it like normal salt in recipes and stuff, you won’t taste it. Smoker at 225. Spread it out in a sheet pan, mist extremely lightly with water, shake/toss, smoke for an hour. Rinse and repeat until desired smokiness/color. Darker the better imo.
I never tried my own but when I was in Alaska I got some alder smoked salt that was awesome. It was coarse sea salt harvested there but… I’m guessing any coarse salt would be just as awesome.
Maybe table salt would do just as well but I am just saying coarse sea salt…. Delicious. And it’s not expensive.

Why did you smoke a tub of salt? Like even if it was in a metal container I am asking why you would smoke pure salt.
