Smoke pot for my birthday

[Attjack]

My girlfriend got me this 1 quart cast iron smoke pot for my birthday. I'll use it in my Primo XL. She also got me this itty bitty cast iron pot thinking I might use it for salt. Will salt corrode the cast iron?

I like your click bait subject line, tee hee.

[Attjack]

Couldn't resist!

[JCBBQ]

It got me!!!!

[Elton's BBQ]

I was about to comment on that.. Attjack 😎😆

[IowaGirl]

When I saw the subject line of your thread ... I got a totally different mental picture about "smoke pot" than I think you intended.

I don't think I'd use a cast iron container for salt unless you live in an arid climate. You could look for a glass, plastic, or ceramic container that would fit inside the CI pot and put the salt in that.

[Attjack]

I missed your response and you had the same take on it that I did. I'll figure something out to use it for!

[Attjack]

Spinaker can you repost a pic of your hole pattern? I can't find the thread you posted your smoke pot in.

[Troutman]

Is that a retorical question? Guess it depends on what state you live in !!!

Am I the only non dirty-minded person on the forum? I figured out what he meant...
Maybe I'm just boring....

You’re not the only one 😊

You'll like your smoke pot. Mine is made from a a Lodge pot just like that. Works great!

I’ve got to where I enjoy my smoke pot I had to learn to go with the flow chasing the blue smoke

[MBMorgan]

Saw the title and almost replied: "Welcome to Colorado, neighbor!"

[Attjack]

I think maybe you're all distracted by my thread title. Any knowledge about storing salt in that little cast iron vessel?

[CaptainMike]

Doubtful that you could avoid moisture contamination where you live. Maybe line it with something. Or turn it into a bong.

[Willard]

CaptainMike you’re cracking me up, man 😂

[Oak Smoke]

Pick a color you both like and have it powder coated. It'll store salt outside then.

[THE Humble Texan]

Salt with any amount of moisture will destroy and unprotected iron.

I wouldn't do it. If there was absolutely no chance of moisture, maybe ... but even here in Colorado, we have a little humidity. I'd just re-purpose the little container for sugar or something else ...

I think IowaGirl addressed the salt question too. Happy birthday - enjoy!

I a have a small pot just like the one pictured. I drilled the holes in the bottom and use it when I want to add smoke to short cooks.

[FireMan]

Yeah, use it for your stash & not yer salt. Pepper would work.

[Attjack]

I'm a fresh pepper only kind of guy. Maybe I'll use it on the grill for compound butter or other small volume sauces.

[Willard]

I have a small Lodge skillet for that purpose. Perfect for a little sauce.
