Can you use fine ground Himalayan salt or only course ground?

While I actually don't know for certain, I'd say the answer is no for a couple of reasons. First, the salt supplied with the inhaler is granular. Second, there are a number of holes in the bottom of the inhaler where air passes enroute to the salt and the exit port of the inhaler. I can imagine those holes would plug if ground salt were used. Hope that helps.

Fine ground salt would pour out unless the unit was held upright. I would also think fine ground would tend to absorb moisture quicker and become a hard mass. I would only recommend Himalayan or equivalent rock salt.

Possibly.. My rock salt came w/ rock salt,, about the size of small pepper corns, but a few larger. After a year, I noted, after your query, that there are a ring of 3 holes & four holes underneath alternating, for 10 bays, or 70 total holes, for air to come in. Over 60% of mine after 1 yr's use, needed punching thru with a medium sizede needle,, probably solidified salt, as I punched about 20 holes with my needle, 1/3 were still open .so maintenance must be needed.. Nobody ever mentioned that before. If your fine ground salts are smaller than a medium size needle, you'd need a fine fleeter stuffed inside, or a filter attached under the device. which would work -an oversized cloth, wrapped with simple rubber band. The bottom opening for refills is a small 1/2' clear rubber stopper. That should give you a better insight of the unit. Moisture is going to affect both large & small crystals too.

This one can be poured straight into into the salt shaker. They also have coarse salt that probably does need to be ground: http://smile.amazon.com/One-16-Ounce-Real-Salt-Coarse/dp/B001CM8RZU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1401558680&sr=8-1&keywords=real+salt+coarse

I've never used that salt, but the holes are smaller than toothpicks, if that helps. I use it for powered sugar, to put on cakes, etc.

I use the one with less holes for salt, just to keep our salt intake down. Of course, there is no way to stop from shaking it more, but still. :)

Ordinary sea salt or even table salt is fine. If you prefer you can also mix baking soda with the salt anywhere from 1:3 to 1:1, baking soda:salt.

Not that I know of. The salt is in pretty big "chunks," so you do need a grinder of some kind. I take the salt out and put it in my "pretty" grinder. I did see the same salt crystals at Whole Foods in bulk... so that might be an option for you.

Although I didn't get my Himalayan salt from Amazon, My OXO Good Grips Salt Grinder works well with the Himalayan salt I bought elsewhere. AND, I really love this salt grinder because you have to turn it upside down to grind, and set upright so that the salt bits don't fall onto your cabinet or table surfaces and leave a mess.

I've never tried this for cooking. So I don't know about that. I have another type of Himalayan salt that I use for cooking which gives your food a great taste. So I would go that rought instead of this.

I use the coarse salt in my grinder with no problems. I also use it unground sometimes, like on a slow-roasted pork shoulder wrapped in banana leaves (kaluah pig).

Yes, this grinder should be able to handle the course pink Himalayan salt. I use mine for sea salt and Alaea Red Hawaiian Salt.

Yes I course grind pepper and fine grind oregano. You have to keep an eye on the amount of time you grind, there are no settings for course or fine.

The salt is quite coarse - more like Kosher salt. I would suggest trying it out first and then buying a grinder if necessary

I live in Florida, but in real warm humid weather, the AC is always on. I use the fine ground Celtic Sea Salt in my salt shaker, but I need to "bang" it on my hand to get it moving! I don't fill it completely full since it is not a sealed shaker. The nutrients would probably be more effective if it were sealed. I don't have a problem with the top getting clogged up.

The sodium content is nearly identical in most of the varieties of salt. If you use the finely ground pink salt, it should taste the same as table salt, which is usually finely ground.

You should use only course ground coffee. Either buy a grinder and do it yourself or buy beans at a coffee shop and gave them ground for you.

I haven't ground almonds yet but I have ground oats and Himalayan salt. It ground the oatmeal almost as finely as what I've purchased from the grocery store. The Himalayan salt chunks, ground into an extremely fine powder, almost too fine. Also, it seems like there's not a lot of variation from fine to course. It all seems about the same. One more important thing.... you have to take it apart EVERY TIME YOU USE IT! If you don't take it apart, stuff will be all stuck up inside the grinder and it may get all disgusting. It's not difficult, but it's a hassle.
