What woods are good for grilling planks and how thick should they be?
Looked at the local borg and they had western cedar, two planks,, for $8.
I know Alder is another one. Also, how long to soak them in water? The
ones at the borg said one hour, but that doesn't seem very long for
something going into a grill at 350 degrees.
I read the directions on the ones at the borg, but just couldn't bring
myself to spend that much for them.

Thanks for any info.

It's all there on the web, try
http://www.justsmokedsalmon.com/plankrecipes.htm

Search "planked salmon" for other recipes and methods.

Almost forgot - the ignition temperature of the plank exceeds 350 degrees
(~570F). Now does it make sense?
