Can this grinder stand up to grinding coarse grain (3-6mm) Pink Himalayan sea salt?

Not sure, but we use very coarse sea salt crystals and have never had a problem.

It should work fine. Haven't tried it myself. But it works for different size grinds.

It's not going to grind a *chunk.* I would suggest putting the chunk in a thick plastic bag, take it outside and hit it with a hammer until it is fairly well ground up. Then put it in the mill. I grind coarse ground Celtic Sea Salt in it with no problems whatsoever. It does a great job.

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 will grind coarse if you don't grind too long.. Not sure why the other reviewer said no. It even says so in the instructions.

Probably not. This works best on soft foods. I've used other similar handheld grinders and they're all pretty much the same.

Yes. More so than any other grinder I've used in the past. The grinder performs well and this is not a big issue but you will most likely be cleaning up grinds that cling to the unit after you use it.

There's a device on top that you tighten or loosen to adjust the coarseness of the grind. After owning for 6 months, I would not recommend this product.

It works fine in my relatively cheap hand grinder. It grinds clean. I have some oily Celtic Gray salt that clogs, but this never has.

Hi, Daniel. I'm away from home right now and don't have the salt grinder with me, but it is approximately 4" tall and possibly 2 3/4" wide. It does not take up a lot of space, but because the base is so round, it holds quite a lot of salt. I can say with certainty that it is able to grind the salt very fine. The adjusting mechanism is very easy to use and will produce anything from somewhat coarse to superfine.

I have the same salts and havent used these salts as of yet,but the grinders have no problem with regular hard salts

It works fine for coarse grinds. We do both fine and much less fine for coffee maker.

I haven't tried to use finer salt. I've only used larger grain salt. I'm not sure this would be a a good idea since the grains are already small and may "gum" up the grinder. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

It coarse. My family likes to use it as a table salt because it has a satisfying crunch. We have a grinder also.

Did you buy it via Amazon, or one of their sellers? I would contact them as it should be under warranty.The only issue I ever have is with my salt grinder if I use the wet grey sea salt as it does gunk up the mechanism. But no problem with pepper grinder using tellicherry. We've used ours for several years now, but it needs to be refilled often.

I do not have the salt grinder; I only have the pepper mill, so I can't answer your question.

I use the Hawaiian Red, but I get crystals that are similar in size to other sea salts, not sure if a finer crystal would work, but would not believe it could damage the grinder/
