Grilling With Planks: Seasoning Salmon on the BBQ

[mrssyvo]

Has anyone tried the grilling planks yet? I am grilling salmon for dinner, and I have decided to try them out, but not sure how to season the salmon. Do the planks give enough flavor that I do not need to season the salmon? I thought about putting the Asian seasoning on them, but I am afraid it might be too much.

I tried them. They give food a smoky flavor. A subtle one that was hard to detect. I would suggest adding one of the rubs too.

I brush my with soy sauce and a little of the Asian seasoning

I understand they're not reusable. The price seems a little steep to me for a single-use item. Then again, I'm not a big grilling plank kind of gal. Big, just not on grilling planks.

How'd the salmon turn out?

They looked interesting at first & I LOVE Salmon, but I'm not crazy about Smokey flavor. All the years I worked in Delis, I never liked the Nova,whitefish,sturgeon etc....But I think if you like it then you will buy it, its gonna be hit or miss...just my opinion

What else can you use the grilling planks for I had never heard of these until they came out as a new spring item...and they are in my sample kit. I don't even know how to use them. Won't they catch on fire if you use them on a grill? Perhaps I'm out of the loop. (or loopy!) I don't know anything about them. Any info would be great! Why do you use them? just for flavor?

They're basically for flavor. Moistening them helps heep them from bursting into flame. But they will smoulder, and it's the smoke that flavors the food.

I don't see myself selling them either but I do live in Florida where we pretty much grill year round. We'll see how many I sell. So far, 0!


Ann, what's up with your TPC line in your signature?

A customer at my show on Friday night showed a lot of interest in them. She bought a Green Egg recently and that company sold planks, but at a higher cost. She was impressed with our price. She did not purchase them yet, but will be attending several of my shows in March and April so she might purchase them then.

Ours are much cheaper than many out there and none of them are reusauble.

It's a standard disclaimer. My DH moderates a forum that's had some problems with members insulting other members, and he has something like that at the top of every page (as well as in his signature) to help discourage lawsuits.
