Maiden voyage

enderw30 · September 2016

I just bought my first egg (minmax) today. I'm going to take it on its maiden voyage tomorrow with grilling some salmon. I bought a grilling plank to go with it. Any suggestions on the paramaters (i.e. temp, time, how much lump, etc) to help get me started?

Welcome to the addiction!

Soak the plank, cook at 300-400ish direct until the salmon is 140-145 IT.

Almost in sync with @SmokeyPitt - but I would take it to around 135*F in the thickest part. Also whatever prep/rub/brine/marinade you land on, I find a nice slice of lemon on top (I go skin side down) for the cook duration gives a nice addition to the flavor. As long as you don't over-cook you will be fine.
BTW-welcome aboard and enjoy the journey.

A good sign that it's getting done is that the fish will start bleeding a white goo(I forget the actual name of said goo). That's when I pull it.

I do it all the time. 400 raised direct on a soaked plank until IT is 138-140

Welcome aboard. I take salmon to 140-145. Personal preference.

Soak the plank in cheap white wine.

Figure out how to get the grid up ?

Welcome, I agree with those above, but would add.... Put the plank on ahead and get a nice sear on the plank before you put the salmon on it. It will make all the difference trust me
