I works, but a cotton shop towel is best.

Does it put any char on the meat?

Excellent question, given it has a terry texture - not that much - hence
the finish with a brandy or cognac flambe!

It's a beef tenderloin so it's quite lean and I always remove the silver
skin before cooking.

If it's campfire cooking we'll unwrap the meat when done, spike it with
a long BBQ fork, then douse with peach brandy and briefly flame it.

You get enough char-crust to satisfy.

No complaints, ever.

The towel is just to hold all the salt in place.

That's basically true, plus it acts as an extra insulator to keep the
moisture and heat in.

There certainly are plenty of recipes for salt crusted tenderloins that
one bakes in the oven:
