I received a free sample of applewood smoked sea salt and was wondering what the result would be if I used it to dry brine something. Is there any reason I shouldn't try it?

I currently have 4 grills 2 gas (Weber spirit 700 and Weber 1000) 2 charcoal (Weber master touch 22 and PK360). I also have a cast iron hibachi and a joule Sous vide. I have multiple probe thermometers , MK4, Smoke, 2 chef alarm, ThermaQ and thermaK and a thermoworks IR with K probe port. for knives I love my Messermeister Olive elite and my TojironDP Gyutou. which I keep razor sharp using my edge-pro. I also have a weather station to keep an eye on good Grilling weather.

I have done both I used it to dry brine on some chicken that I grilled and I have also used it as a seasoning. I have not used it as a dry brine before I smoked meat though as that would probably be a waste of the smoked salt as I think the salt smoke flavor would not make enough of a difference to come through if you were going to smoke the meat anyways,

I used the smoked sea salt to dry brine a pork butt and a couple slabs of ribs. They all came out great. I don't know how much if any difference it made in the smoke taste of the meat because I used wood while cooking. It may or may not have enhanced the flavor, I don't know. But, it certainly didn't have a negative effect. The family and neighbors loved it!

Sounds like it works...or doesn't fail...
At least it was tried. AND, most importantly, "The family and neighbors loved it!" So, it is worth it.
