Planked Scallops ???

Has anyone ever planked scallops? Crazy idea? Were they any good? Details?
Thanks.

Here is one way.

Scallops, Planked

Steve in Maryland,I love scallops!! The best way to do them IMHO is on a Alder wood Plank. Soak your plank for at least 1 hour, longer if you can. I use a combination of Garilc and Bad Byrons Butt Rub on my scallops. Pre-heat your egg to about 325, steady your temp then place your empty plank on the Egg, close Egg. After about 5 minutes flip the plank and let it go for about 5-7 more minutes. When you open you egg, the plank should be smoking/ steaming. This is the time to put your scallops on. Brush plank lightly with olive oil, place your scallops on plank, close egg and cook 10-15 minutes depending on your preference of doneness. They end up with a lovely smoky flavor. No matter how many I do at one time there has still never been enough, everyone still wants more. Good luck!!

Yeah, they are great. Try to get ones the same size and after your plank is soaked, oiled and preheated, put two or three on. Wait five minutes and add the rest. Monitor those early ones, use an instant thermometer, your finger or just cut one in half and test it.

I'm sure you see where I'm headed.....when one of the testers is perfect, you have exactly five minutes before the others are ready.
