Sure. Just follow the instructions on soaking and heating, etc. I think fish turns out quite nicely when planked. Good luck!The Naked Whiz

lots of folks use wood planks on the eggs and they work great. ..simply set up your egg for a direct cook. ..heat up the egg to about 425 degrees dome temp with grid in normal position. .. . soak you plank for about 2 hours in water (easiest way to do this is to fill your sink with water, put the plank in your sink and hold it under water with a heavy pan). .. when you are ready to cook your food (say a salmon filet or pork loin, take the plank and put it in the egg. ...when it starts to 'crackle" (takes about 5 minutes or so), put the food on to cook. . ..works great. . .. cedar planks and alder planks are particularly good. . .here are a couple of pics of cedar cooked salmon. .. . i know a couple of guys lately here have cooking mashed taters on cedar planks with real good success. .. .

don't know, but
I've always thought Cedar kindof makes things taste like a closet or 'cedar' chest :(
Alder is both traditional and a real treat
Also really good if you have them, are fruit planks, like apple, pear, or cherry.
I'd love to get Greg to make some Guava planks... just imagine!
