Pepper your steak in 7 cranks instead of 70.

The perfect companion to the Pepper Cannon. Season generously with crunchy chunks or dust with invisible powder (plus everything in between).
When I launched the Pepper Cannon, people asked for a matching salt mill.
"NO", I said.
Then, like a fool I continued: "inside each salt crystal is… more salt! It doesn’t have any added flavor/aroma qualities that are improved by grinding, and it doesn’t degrade like pepper when pre-ground."
I made my case for why willing customers shouldn't want what they want, but they persisted. Fine. "If more than 300 people preorder it, we'll make it."
Surely there are no more than 72 people who want a Salt Cannon companion for their Pepper Cannon...
The list of people quickly exceeded 300, and so the process began. I expected we would swap out the burrs and turn it around within months, and we did!
17 months.
We tested burrs, coatings, bearings, metals, and the patience of many more than 72 people before producing a mill that can grind through over 200lbs of rock salt without appreciable performance loss.
The Salt Cannon has settings on both ends of the grind spectrum that probably don't need to exist. Do you need tiny amounts of fine pixie dust salt particles? Probably not. Do you need giant chunks of rock salt dispensed at nearly a tablespoon per crank? Almost certainly not. That's irresponsible. And yet, if you own the Salt Cannon you can have them.
Was making the grind range so large overkill for salt?
Absolutely.
But we have the Pepper Cannon, so overkill is probably just the right amount of kill for us
Don't worry: output decreases with grind size, so you can get the exact amount of salt you want at the desired consistency.
How can I not have the matching salt cannon, its also awesome. now you need to sell some salt options like the peppercorn. Keep up the great work.
This is our fifth piece of gear from these guys, and we enjoy all of them. We have two pepper cannons that are set to different sizes: one for the kitchen and the other for the table.
We use a couple of salt pigs in the kitchen but wanted something for the table because we prefer something between a table and a kosher size for that application. This fits the bill for sure. The only problem this created is that we don't like our current salt, so the hunt is on to find its replacement. It works as well as the pepper units and I was told to change the top button immediately for some reason.
If I wasn't so cheep we would own the portable cannon and surly a salt one if they had it because most places now don't put it on the table so they don't have to clean them. Not to mention that the stuff they have is stale and clumpy.
This works as good as the Pepper Cannon…both are fantastic!!!
Love that I have matching set. We had to pepper cannons and had painted one white. These are so pro. Thanks for a great product.
I dont love it but love them, I do think it is a great partner for the pepper cannon and it looks and feels amazing. However, I may have a lemon but I am not impressed with the quality as much as I am with the pepper cannon.
I have coarse rock salt, if I operate it at angle the salt will leak through the spinning top cap. It also leaks through the bottom of the cannon, the cap does hold this.
If you grind into the cap, it is a much cleaner method but it isnt as “cool” as using it the classical way.
Paint the visual of holding your cylindrical salt cannon with both hands and spinning them in opposite ways to twist the cap against the bottom piece…..
