Smoking salt and steak

[jdhunt0]

I'm not sure where it belongs, but I started up my smoker this morning to smoke some kosher salt and put a little smoke in some black angus I plan to grill tonight.

I'm sure it will turn out great since everything I have done so far in the Bradley has.  Now I need ideas for dinner on Sunday.  How do whole chickens tuen out?  Is it possible to defrost one overnight?

Put smoke on the the chickens and finish them In the house oven to crisp the skin up.

JD, fill your sink w/cold water and put the chicken in it still packaged. The thawing chicken will keep the H2O temp. out of the danger zone until it's thawed out. And yes, it will thaw out much faster.

Steaks were awesome!!!  No chickens so I will put on some chicken breasts tomorrow.

Steak sounds great. How did the salt turn out? I have smoked salt a couple of times but found that it does not take the smoke well and that when you come to use it you need to use so much of it to get any smoke flavour that the food is very salty and the saltiness overpowers the smoke.

Hope your chicken comes out well.

In order to get the smokiness you are seeking with salt, the salt requires several hours of smoke.  A couple of hours won't do it.  The thinner the layer of salt, the better and stirring from time to time will help the salt to take the smoke.

Thanks KyNola. I will give it another try but suspect I may continue smoking food I want to be smokey and salting food I want to be salty :)

Smoking the salt at a higher temperature such as 225°F, and increasing the humidity in the cabinet may help. I've long ago gave up on smoking salt. Now when I want to have smoked salt I mix liquid smoke with kosher or other coarse salts, mix, dry and regrind.

Your fine smoking salt or whatever spice you like for as long of a smoke time as you like. If it tastes good to you and your family then thats all that matters. Some members here do things in many different ways, give suggestions and pointers.

Smoke On

I only smoked it for an hour.  You can smell the smoke, but doubt it has much of the flavor.  I'll put it back in next time I use the Bradley.

That's the right idea. If the salt doesn't have enough smoke flavor for you put it back in again and add some more smoke to it. Sorry Habs using liquid smoke for smoked salt takes all the fun out of it. That's why we all bought smokers to smoke stuff!

I can't see what you are sorry for, I've tried smoking salt as soon as I got my Bradley, and never liked how it turned out. So when I find a better way to do something, I tend to use that method instead, and save my smoke for other stuff.
