Apologies to Geoff for the meat content. I could also have placed this in the "what did you buy" thread. About a week ago I took delivery on a new smoker because my old one had rusted out under the fire box. Today is my first test, simply some boneless chicken breasts to test out the heat and smokiness. Ready to remove from the can just after I post these photos.

I do appreciate your consideration

An old student fave of mine for lunch, banana and beansprout on pitta bread
The cool crunchiness of the sprouts contrasting with the sweet goo of the slightly mashed bananas - yum!

That is more upsetting than the meat!

Lol, it’s actually fabulous!
It’s the *idea* that’s offputting :-)

The fix is in. My salt fix.
I just stocked on salts from Saltworks.


Sel Gris from clay beds in France. It retains minute bits of the minerals for a nice earthy flavor. My every use salt.

Sea salt smoked in used Chardonnay barrel staves. A good finish salt for meats and potatoes.

Alder wood smoked for some seafoods and pork. Very strong smokey taste!

Very cool!

Good salt can change everything

I’ve tried smoked (yum!) and my go to is Maldon Sea Salt (there’s something about scrunching the flakes into whatever you’re seasoning)


Gomasio (salt and sesame) is fab too, particularly in stir fries


Will have to look for some sel gris now :-)

I picked this up recently. Has a little bit of a kick to it.

^^ Which in turn reminds me of the fabulous Nom Nom Paleo’s Magic Mushroom Powder


You make it from salt, dried porcini and red pepper flakes, plus a couple of other things
Umami heaven :-)

... which I presume you would want to use only in the safety of your own home.
