Planked Scallops?

I have some beautiful large scallops and was thinking of making them on an Alder or Cedar plank today.  Any suggestions on a cooking time for this.  I definitely don't want to overcook them.

    I like to cook them about 5-8 minutes on a Himalayan Salt block turning at half time, lemon butter s/p sometimes wrapping with pre-cooked bacon that is still plyable. 375-400F

    Here is another way:
    Scallops, Bacon, Wrapped, Wise One

    Based on the the Bacon Wrapped Scallops done by the Cornerstone Restaurant in Fishkill, NY.

    Ingredients:
    1/2 lb fresh sea scallops (1 1/4 to 1 1/2 " across) (10-16 in number)
    1/4 lb raw bacon (very lean center cut).
    10-16 toothpicks soaked in water for 30 minutes
    1/2 cup wine or lemon juice
    Favorite rub

    Preparation:

    1. Marinate scallops for 30 minutes or so in wine or lemon juice with water.

    2. Take a ½ piece of bacon and wrap around the scallop securing in place with a toothpick.

    3. Coat the exposed ends of the scallop with a favorite rub (Paul Prudhomme's Cajun magic or similar.)

    Cooking:

    1. Cook over a drip pan on a seafood grill for 7-10 minutes at 375 degrees. Turn half way through.

    2. Serve alone or with a favorite cocktail sauce.

    Servings: 1
