Question on kosher salt

Kosher salt is basically a large-grain, dry salt, in most cases without any chemical additions or iodization. As Babette stated, different brands are sized differently, so there is no one-to-one correspondence between teaspoons of kosher salt and grams of another salt. GourmetSleuth tells us that 1 tsp of kosher salt is 2.8 grams. But other websites–I don’t remember which–tell us that there is a difference in weight per teaspoon between Morton’s and Diamond Crystal kosher salt. Just think of it as a pure, large grain salt.
