Grilling with Planks!

We believe exploring, experimenting and life long learning are not only vital to operating a successful micro-business, they're also what keeps life fun and interesting! As a result, when it comes to summer BBQing, we're always trying to change it up with new recipes and techniques. 

For those serious culinary explorers out there, a grilling plank is indispensable! The process of preparing salmon on a cedar plank dates back to Native American's in the Pacific Northwest but alder, hickory, and maple are also great plank options. Plank grilling is a great way to really accentuate that great smokey flavor and aroma that defines the grilling experience. Here's a few tips:

1. Soak the plank for about an hour before hand! This prevents the plank from lighting on fire...
2. Keep the grill closed! This helps keep the temperature high and even.
3. Don't flip it! There's just no need...
4. Try something different! It's a great way to grill veggies without having them fall through...
