Will Kosher salt fit into the salt shaker?

Any kind of salt will fit in as long as it's finely ground. The holes in the salt shaker take normal size salt.

The openings on top of shaker are too small for the usually coarse kosher salt.

the idea is to use a coarse salt (kosher, sea, himalayan, etc.) and grind it to the desired size/texture. the grinder allows you to choose a fine, medium or coarse setting.

It can work with regular salt but doesn't really grind that much finer. Works best with sea salt and or kosher salt!

Yes, but Amazon would be the people to ask. I just use it for different kinds of salt

No. There are rather large holes in the lid. I used Scotch tape on the inside of the lid to close off most of the holes so I could use regular salt in one. The other has coarse ground black pepper in it and does very well. These are nice looking and durable. I'm satisfied

I think it is not recommended, but I've used salt in mine several times with no problems.

I would think it would have to be some sort of coarse salt. I think regular salt would go right through.

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 gave it a try.... 100% confirmed that kosher salt flows through perfectly fine. I assume coarse ground pepper will also be fine

Hello Iris, I am in agreement with the other answers -you might be able to (possibly) use the finer grained Himalayan sea salt (not the regular salt sold in grocery stores). However, the directions said,"not to shake the comtainer". If you decide to try the finer grains, be careful not to shake the container, and/or wait until the "salt has settled". Also, if you want peace of mind, simply use the medium or larger chunks of the Himalayan pink sea salt!

Absolutely!! As far as it goes that I can tell, This mechanical devise has been so nice for me that is, that you could use it for a number of different herbs or different salts, peppercorns, etc... I have a variety in mine presently. And on the opposite end have a Part Himalayan Salt Part Hawaiian Black Salt Combo!! It is Definitely your preference as long as you stick to the guidelines on not over tightening for the size of how fine you want it to grind. Which I have had no problem with mind the way it came...

I don't believe this will work for the 8"x 8" salt brick. The salt plate holder pictured here measurements are 9"x 15" and the larger salt brick fit perfectly. I believe it will be one inch too wide and the salt brick would fall through. The salt brick I got was 12"x8" and because the 12" fit perfectly the wider width didn't matter. You may be able to find a smaller rack that will accommodate the 8" x 8" size salt brick.

Yes it does! I have Himalayan salt in mine. I think Himalayan is softer than regular coarse salt so this works very well!

I use the 16-hole shaker for salt and the 6-hole shaker for pepper, which I use sparingly. Your choice to use whichever one you prefer.

I have only used it for salt on popcorn. Do not see a reason it would not work. The holes are fairly large. As stated before,my problem with this shaker is it does not lock when turning to tight. So I have to keep a finger on the led for fear of spilling the contents. Might be I just caught a bad one. Hope this helps.

nope, that wont fit I. the shaker is only about 1/2" taller than a gallon can.

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.
