Wayne said, "So now you have salt. Smoked salt is very expensive. Maybe you smoke some and sell it at a farmers market. Maybe you sell it to the local deer processing plant, right next to the liquid smoke (still dont understand why that exists, ick!) for jerky in a dehydrator. I see it for sale, but ive never seen it marketed as a jerky salt. That could be HUGE.
If you have sheep, goats, cows you now make your own salt lick. It doesnt have to be in a block. Maybe you put a little salt water right in their water supply.
And theres the ultimate use that makes it viable for everyone with a yard or acreage. Dilute seawater 10:1 and apply it to the ground to remineralize. If its in its salt form, ALL the minerals are there, you could easily calculate a ratio of this salt to water and apply to the ground.
