Made some Garlic Salt

[Pirate Scott]

I Made some Garlic Salt last Friday using the recipe from JGrana and I learned few things along the way. The way I set up my Fuse is 3 bottom 2 top and it usually runs 235 - 275 with a pan of water bottom vent 50% top 100%. The same set up Without the water pan my Kettle runs 325 to 350. I also learned that Ghost Peppers and Garlic will Burn up quite nicely at 350. I did not need to dehydrate the Peppers or Garlic, and it was most definitely Roasted. The end result is still very tasty, and when it is gone I will try again.
Thanks again for the Recipes and the knowledge everyone has provided.

1lb Pink Himalayan Salt pre smoked

I ground the Peppers and garlic in a coffe grinder

Neat....

I do something very similar every year! Looks spot on!

I agree that the high heat on peppers and garlic dry them well. The only issue I have had is with dried whole garlic cloves. They become rock hard - tough to grind. I now slice them fresh before smoking. Seem to handle the grinder better.
Warning, if you give this ghostly garlic salt as a present to friends and family - be prepared to do this yearly.... I have "orders" already from a few friends and both my sons. ;-) On my 4th year of my annual Smoked Ghostly Garlic Salt.

BTW, I use the same grinder you show in the picture. The are all over Ebay and work well!

JGrana, I followed your recipe and advice, it has been mentioned quite a bit. The grinder advise too, from Amazon. I used a Coffee Grinder so everything went easy, we are trying to figure out Christmas now, sauces,salt etc.... Thanks Again for the Help.
