Boyfriend Loves it!
Purchased the salt cannon as a gift for my boyfriend to pair with his pepper cannon and he loves it! It works great and we use it everyday!
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.

The Salt Cannon is the perfect compliment to the Pepper Cannon by grinds better than I had anticipated. Highly recommend!
Look like many of you considering this extravagant purchase might be thinking for me I love it. I learned about the Pepper Cannon from YouTube and thought to myself I have a gift card I got over the holidays so why not. It produces a ton of pepper in any kind of grain you would ever want. I do a lot of cooking and was just sprinkling my salt from my salt container. If I wanted a finer gain then I would use another one of those salt grinders you get at the grocery. So when I learned of the Salt Cannon I thought the perfect companion and placed an order. It is just that a perfect pair. You want to be careful with either not to over season but when you have a big protein like a brisket or roast, let me tell you these are heavenly. May not be for everyone, but if you are impatient like me this is a very gratifying tool to have in your kitchen. I was not paid for this and received nothing for my review, just giving one guys honest thoughts on a supremely well built kitchen tool.
The salt cannon was the match for my pepper cannon, made for heavy pepper use with a turn! I’m not much of a salt user but felt the need for the matching salt cannon for salting while grilling. I keep the salt cannon dial on fine and increase it to courser for cooking. The heavy substantial pepper and salt cannons makes cooking a dream. They keep my counter clean with the base. Expensive especially with the add on salt but worth every cent. I’m not the only one that loves this pair. Two of my family member couldn’t resist and now own a cannon also.
I've had other salt grinders that I thought were pretty good. The Salt Cannon is by far the best. The grind is even and easy to adjust. I Love it and would recommend it.
