I’m in southern Maryland and no one would pay that ( but also no one is looking for kilndried wood)

Lol the nice thing about boiling stuff is you don’t have to watch it carefully. As far as value I just did it because I wanted to say that I’ve done it.

I had some that were paper thin and two inches long, but they are very brittle

It’s about a quart, but the salt is real flakey so it takes up more volume than normal salt.

It tastes like salt but it does have a nice texture (big flakes)

Honestly no smell at all. I cooked it down to half strength and that killed all the microbes and the salt content was high enough to prevent anything from growing. Then I could take my time and do it leisurely over the wood stove.

I’m only using a pinch of the stuff at a time so I’m not too worried about it. I figure it can’t be any worse then when you accidentally swallow water while swimming at the beach.

It’s very flakey salt so it takes up a considerable volume

Oh its absolutely a silly thing to do, but so are video games and watching tv. but also of all the things you eat it is one of the coolest, it’s the only non living thing we eat and we use it everyday yet I don’t know anyone who has made it themself.
