That sounds like a good idea for smoked salt. I have 2 cases of canned pork that I got for 1.09 per lb. I also experimented and used the crock pot on the fat-rendered it and have some nice lard in the frig.
I bought 2 whole pork butts—wrestling those was hard. Next time, I’ll pay 20 cents more and get the butt steaks. LOL
I rendered grass fed beef fat in the crock pot this past week - I now have two pints of beautiful tallow. Today, I made ghee for the first time ... it smells & tastes delicious - I could eat the stuff with a spoon!
