Nutrocker Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I am a newbie here. I use the ProQ Eco Smoker Box and Cold Smoke Generator. I would like to try some of the ideas on here which include smoked salt. Can I cold smoke my own salt? If so, how? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
U can do that again Posted December 6, 2022 Share Posted December 6, 2022 Welcome, haven't done salt but have smoked paprika powder, about a kilo. Prior to smoking "dried the paprika in microwave for about 20/30 seconds", then evenly spread dried paprika on suitable tray to go in smoker. Then lit smoke generator & let it do its thing, don't see why it wouldn't work for salt. Regularly smoke cheese, garlic & trout but only in the cooler months. Currently have 4 trout sides brining to be smoked over the next few days, smaller trout was about 2 & half pounds gutted & larger 5 pounds gutted, brining will probably be more than 24hrs then probably 2 mazes of smoking around 20/24hrs but never exact . Good luck with the salt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutrocker Posted December 6, 2022 Author Share Posted December 6, 2022 Thanks for that U! I had a go yesterday. I cold smoked coarse sea salt for 4 hours. I then followed Wade's recipe, scaled down to 200g of cashews, using the sea salt in a momentary brine for the nuts, which were then mixed with blitzed smoked Maldon salt (off the shelf). I air fried them at 160c for 16 minutes, stirring half way. I think the time &/or temperature would stand a bit less. I then cold smoked them with oak dust for four hours - they are fab!
