Snake EaterĀ Hot Salt

This is aĀ limited batch.
First come, first serve.

This is a special Buddy Batch of Hot Salt, made for a most excellent man.
It's back a second time because it's that good.


A carefully selected blend of crushed Scorpion, Reaper and Ghost peppers with a hint of Tennessee Bourbon and bitters made their way into the crucible.

The flavor that ensued may be the best Hot Salt we’ve ever tasted.

Coated crystals that burn with aromatic notes of tobacco and the mellow, sweet bite of an old fashioned.

šŸ”„ It tastes like Heaven on Fire


I’m calling it SNAKE EATER (AKA Justin’s Blend) for the man that inspired it.
All the badass peopleĀ in the know that have tasted it agree that it's the best blend we've ever made.Ā 

We only madeĀ a small amount for this go around.Ā  It takes time to infuse and age so if you want it, make your move.

The nitty gritty:

Packaged in the The Firecracker Farm Pusher, a laser-etched, stainless steel, push grinder with a 25g pouch of coarse Snake Eater Hot Salt to refill or party with. Just don't get it on your naughty bits. Grinder contains approx.Ā 17g (0.6oz) ofSnake Eater Hot Salt. Expect about 515 pushes of spicy, savory delight from a full push grinder.Ā  Easily refilled with salt from the pouch when you finally run out.Ā Ā 

Ā 

One push delivers a burst of savory heat and exotic interest whenever you need one.

Ā 

The coarse sea salts we useĀ areĀ natural unprocessed sea-salts made by solar evaporation of brine andĀ areĀ not iodized.Ā Ā They are refined by washing with clean saturated salt brine to remove surface impurities, drained of excess moisture, dried, and screened to size.

One more time: How many pushes? About 1085.
(515 in the grinder and another 750 in the refill pouch)

Ingredients: Sea salt, chili pepper, evaporated bourbon, gentian, herbs

Snake Eater has that kick…

Snake Eater is my favorite salt so far. I have 5 flavors of Firecracker Farm salts and Snake Eater I highly recommend!

Thank you! You have excellent taste! It just so happens to be my personal favorite šŸ”„ - Alex

Still not hot enough

Flavor was different and good but I am still looking for that hotter salt. This one still did not hit the mark. Maybe there isn’t a hot salt available that puts out enough heat for the small amount going on the food? Anyway, for the price, I would not recommend. Very similar to the other hot salts available from Firecracker Farms. We need hotter!

Hi Dan! You are among the few that I like to call the 1% Anything hotter than Snake Eater and APOCALYPTO are too much for 99% of casual hot pepper enthusiasts enjoy. I have plans to make another batch of Normalized Violence. That fits its name. What some people call torture, others call seasoning šŸ˜‚ I have a feeling you might find that one reaches a temper you like! Shoot me an email (just reply to your last order) I'll elaborate privately.

Another absolute awesome product from Firecracker Farms. From Avocado to Zucchini this stuff is great on it all.
Edit: had to come back to just say this was an absolute hit with EVERYONE at my easter parties. Deviled eggs, pasta salad, steak and baked potato’s incredible on all of it. At least 3 people with be ordering some salt soon.

Spice up your morning and everything after that.

Ideal on eggs to start the day with a kick. The dispenser is perfect for taking it to a restaurant or any other local as it’s so good you will not want to leave home without it.

Great on steaks to give it a bit more bite for those who use salt/pepper and are looking for a bit more.

Also nice to add a shot to your tea or coffee throughout the day.

Not as good as I had hoped.

First off I absolutely love Pineapple Express. They said snake eater is the best hot salt they have have made and it came with a heavy price tag. I don’t like it as much as the Pineapple Express but it’s still a decent hot salt.

Tried this on a ribeye and it is really good! Has some good heat to it and amazing taste. Have not figured out if I can adjust the setting for rock sizes yet but it has been working perfect!
