Can it also be used to spread salt in the winter for ice?

It would depend on the size of the salt grainuals. Anything bigger than a pea may hang up. Also, be sure to clean well. A few parts are metal and will rust and corode with salt, I'm sure.

Yes, as long as you have free flowing salt. I find it works best with Ice melt (not salt) as the size is more consistent.

yes, because its cold out there! It will liquify when you put it in a warm place. you can put the container in a bucket of hot water to liquify it !

In my opinion I don't think it is sturdy enough to handle snow. Possibly but I wouldn't try it. Maybe a light amount of salt for quick distribution if you want to try that.

Not really sure. We use it for storing salt for use during snow. Should be able to get 10-12 pounds of food in it, possibly more

Yes you can, and it will stick a big, just like Salt on a margarita glass comes off a bit.

No I do not think it will hold that many bags of salt. You must get a lot of snow :)

I don't see why not. What this product does is shoot a solution into the fitting where the hose attachment attaches to the pump and it shoots a solution into the pump that pushes out the water and adds a bit of antifreeze and lubrication solution to protect your pump from freezing and cracking when the out side temperature drops below freezing. i live in Wisconsin where the winters are extremely cold I use it to prevent my pump from freezing and cracking and it works really well for that.

To be honest I have not tried the Earthway spreader as a salt spreader but I see no reason why it couldn't be used as a salt spreader. Salt could be very corrosive when wet, but this item is mostly plastic where it touches the product being spread.

Yes. I was able to use it a few times last winter. I would highly recommend.

I haven't tried it for salt so I can't answer that from first hand knowledge. It works great for pepper!

NO! You don't add any ice or salt. The contained portion you keep in the freezer takes care of the whole freezing process and no mess of slushy salt water to deal with.

Yes, absolutely. The salt helps lower the temperature of the ice so that it will actually freeze the milk, sugar and other ingredients. I guess you could potentially use dry ice which is much colder, but I expect that would cause issues with the wood, and possibly other things.

Sorry, I've never tried it on ice. I mainly use it to puree soups and sauces.

I don't see why not. It's adjustable so you can fit it in there width-wise. It is metal, so I don't know if you'd have issues with frost building up on it.

yes you can do it but mine broke after some time; also it is not powerful enough when it is "really" cold.

Yes I did blow snow with it. It worked fine on the light dust. Not so much on the wetter stuff. I still applied salt to make sure I didn't slip.

I wouldn't recommend it, It's meant for medium rock salt, it has little holes on the bottom to take in the air when you use it, So I think with the fine salt it would then be a salt shaker instead of what it's intended for.It comes with a small bag of rock salt. use about half of it. it lasts for a few months...
