I keep hearing of smoked salt and I am going to smoe a pork butt today...So
what type wood is used for the smoke in the salt?

Regarding smoked salt.......the wood used is hickory. I used to have a
little spice jar of it, and I think my stove top smoker gives a recipe.
All you do is put some in a container in your smoker, and then save it.
Hope this helps.

It's not advisable to smoke salt at the same time as any meat as the
airborne fat and humidity will settle on the salt.

What flavor do you want to give the salt? That's the wood you use.
Hickory and alder make good salts.

Well I'm using maple and I put about a lb of coarse salt in a foil pan.
And I plan on smoking at around 225 to 250F for maybe 2 or 2 and 1/2
hours. Every 1/2 hour I stir the salt. The salt is on the top rack..on
the lower rack is the pork butt. The salt turns crusty and a off yellow
maybe pale tan..Well it did 1/2 hour ago so I assume it will happen
again. I will stir it to mix in the smoked surface grains and to break up
the crust. I thought of hickory but I'm maple smoking a pork butt
so....and the salt was a also running type thought.

On the soup and stew front I ran outta ambition so there's always
tomorrow.

Thoughts to live by....

This will increase the smoking time for the butt...but what the
hell...nothing tried ...nothing learned. It's not as though the price of
1 lb of salt will hurt me financially it this doesn't turn out.

The product I love is smoked over manuka wood with rosemary and bay
leaves. You might not be able to get hold of manuka, though.
