Title: Can I.....?
Post by: Red Kell on September 13, 2011, 02:45:38 pm

Hi all,
 just wondering if it is safe to grind rock salt in thermie? The salt I have is fresh from Dampier Salt, and is chunky with some pretty big pieces. I don't want to do anything that might kill my thermie (not sure I could live without him now, LOL)

I can't see why not, you can crush ice cubes to sharpen your blades, and I have also seen on Youtube somebody grinding sand, I wouldn't recommend that.  Even so I am a newbie so wait until someone smarter and better looking comes along.  Come on you good looking girls with the brains out there, it won't take long.

I did do in mine and it was fine, I haven't heard otherwise.

You can definitely grind rock salt. How big is the biggest chunks? You can grind whole nutmeg if that gives you any idea  :)

Ok, some of the bits are huge (3-5cm) so if I bash them a bit first it should be good? Thanks guys :)
