Hey I never thought about the cedar plank thing. I've heard of it,
though....

What does the cedar do for the flavor?

If going to West Marine, tell them you just bought a boat. They give you
10% off.

reply: *Gives it a nice cedar flavor. *Or just a woodsy smoky flavor. *Buy
plain untreated (duh) cedar fencing at HD and cut into pieces. *1/10 the
price of the planks at the store. *I like mixing marinade in the soaking
water, as well as soaking the fillets in a plastic zip lock bag all day with
the marinade. *I like garlic herb, tequila lime, lemon pepper, Jamaican
jerk, just about anything except the barbecue flavors. *Drizzle a very
little on there while it is cooking. *Cook right over medium barbecue heat,
and if you've soaked the board for four hours, it won't burn. *The steam and
burning marinade permeates the meat. *I cook mine about half an hour, but
watch it for doneness, as it comes in all thicknesses.

Excellent!

I'll give it a try next time around.

They may be in St. George, but I know they are in Henderson. Go to their
website. They are based out of California.

There is a joke around the Iowa lakes about cooking carp on a plank.
You give the fish to the cats, and eat the plank.
