Texas Salt Co. Sel Gris French Salt is a high-grade, unrefined sea salt sustainably harvested from the Brittany coast of France. Known for its natural grey color and mineral-rich profile, this traditional French salt delivers depth, texture, and balanced salinity that stands apart from highly processed table salt.
Its signature light grey hue comes from the clay-lined evaporation pools where it is collected. The result is a moist, slightly coarse salt with a soft crunch and earthy character. Often compared to Celtic-style sea salts, Sel Gris offers clean flavor and complexity that enhances everything from roasted meats to fresh vegetables.

With over 35 years of smoking experience, we started DDR BBQ Supply with a simple goal: to help others cook better barbecue. We've spent decades learning what works and what doesn't, and we apply that knowledge to every product we carry. From high-performance grills and smokers to carefully selected rubs, sauces, and tools, everything we offer is something we believe in and use ourselves. We don’t believe in cutting corners or selling gear we wouldn’t rely on during our own backyard cooks and when we compete in BBQ competitions.
