Salmon Planks in the Rain
SmokingPiney
Posts: 2,319
My wife surprised me yesterday evening when she brought home a salmon filet - a family favorite and it's been a while.
It's been pouring rain here all day and soaking my Q Shack with sideways rain, but damn the torpedoes, full cook ahead!
Rubbed with DP Tsunami Spin and cooked raised direct at 425 over cedar planks ( soaked for about 2 hours prior to cooking and toasted for a little over a minute before putting the fish on) for just over 13 minutes. The smell of cedar was heavenly while it cooked.

That looks great. OK, so can you wash and reuse the cedar planks? Looks like they should be good for more than one cook, but I would think they would need to be washed and dried good then resoaked before the next use.

These are Weber planks that I received as a gift a while back.@epcotisbest, I wash them after use and I keep a small stack of them handy. I can get 3, maybe 4 cooks from a plank before it's too charred. Just re-soak and go.
