I love this stuff! I make this regularly, every couple months, and I always make some with hickory liquid smoke, some with mesquite. Adds one heck of a punch to make your fajita seasonings and dry rubs go from great to outstanding. I am asked all the time what my 'secret' is. Thanks so much for posting! ETA: Through trial and error we've discovered that 1 c of sea salt to 1 tbs liquid smoke is a great ratio, but we don't dry it, just keep it in a covered container. Won't go bad, and the liquid smoke releases it's aromatic properties as it cooks/dries out.

Followed recipe, put in oven for quick drying...electric oven lowest setting; 170 Fahrenheit. put in oven at temp, then turned off. Let salt set for approx. 8 minutes. Moved it around to see how it was doing and it was done! Did Wright's brand misquote, had no hickory. Don't want to get out in this winter weather, but craving some home cooked ribs! (getting to old to go out and grill/smoke in the deep winter)...Using with BETH'S MELT IN YOUR MOUTH BARBECUE RIBS (OVEN). Thank you so much for posting this recipe. Not buying any more expensive smoked salts any more.
