What are Grilling Planks? & What is Planking?

Grilling Planks have been used for hundreds, if not thousands of years by Native Indians in the Pacific North West of America & Canada.  It's basically placing your food directly onto a piece of wood, and then cooking it.  By cooking your food this way your food picks up the natural flavours of the wood.  You can use your plank on a BBQ, in the oven, or on a commercial grill.   Click on the images to enlarge.
