Don't fall for buying the planks wrapped in plastic with a special name on them. Go to a lumber yard that sells red cedar boards. Buy a 1 x 6 board in the length you want. Take it home and cut it into the lengths you need. I cut mine about 14 inches each. They are about 3/4 inch thick and could be re-sawn to 3/8 inch if you are so inclined. Lumber yard price will be less than 1/4 of what you would pay for a kitchen or BBQ store plank and you will have several left over. Out of a six foot board you will get 10 cedar planks for your salmon if you get them re-sawn. They will last a few years if done this way, Mine did.
I agree, the precut and premade planks are a ripoff. But I would imagine a lot of people don’t have a saw or something to cut a larger board from a lumber yard or hardware store.
I made a variation of this in my weber q2000. Instead of the cedar plank I used the weber q smoke box with some cherry wood chips. I still used indirect heat using aluminium foil and a roasting rack. It was amesome. Thanks for the recipe, I cant wait to try some of your other ideas
Hope you enjoy! Planked salmon has got to be one of the easiest things to do on the grill. Just put the portions on the plank, and let it do its thing!
LOL yeah my gf got that for me as a gift. Quite frankly I don't know what to do with it, but it sure did come in handy for removing the cedar plank. Thanks for stopping by!
Jerry this is very timely. I have some Salmon in the freezer and some Cedar Planks waiting for me to get off my keester and Q. Thanks for reminder. Looks delicious. 👏

Sam the Cooking guy is awesome. I need to get some of that Japanese Mayo as well! I’m always on the hunt for some. Nice video, and hit that sub 🔔. beautiful edit as well 👊🏼🔥😆
Yeah, the Weber planks are a rip off. The cedar planks I bought are from Mariano's, a grocery store chain here in Chicago (I think they are owned by Kroger). They come in a pack of two for $6 USD.

Please do and let me know how it goes!

That’s a good workaround to get some smoke on your salmon. The planks are a nice touch but I find most are very overpriced.
Looks yum, going to give this a go. I’d love to see more fish videos
Excellent cooking skills, love the salmon!!
Thanks for sharing:)
Much appreciated! Thanks for watching. Enjoy!
Excellent looking salmon! Great flavors.
The salmon was awesome! Thanks for visiting, Kory!

Great job with the cedar plank salmon! Love the greens on top! That’s a large spatula!

Loved it. Perfect... 🔥🔥🔥👍
Thanks for checking this one out Xander!
Wow!! So good!
Nice visuals..!
The salmon looks scrumptious to eat!
I never had japanese mayo before..
Sound delicious!..
It was really good! Yeah, Japanese mayo is probably hard to find for most people. Guess that's why Amazon exists now ;-)
@@ChicagoGriller lol ..Amazon have mostly everything..thanks for your response..!

Quick and easy is right! The cedar plank makes this one of the easiest things for the grill. Thanks for stopping by and for the support!

Ha funny, I'm the opposite and have never done straight grate with salmon. Guess we'll have to swap tips :-)

Hey Ryan! Yeah, Sam is great! He does ramble on a bit sometimes, but his ideas and methods are right on. Thanks for stopping by!
Alaska sez, “ you know your salmon !”
If Alaska is anything like our dog Huey, Alaska loves salmon!!!!
Love salmon looks so yummy 😋😋
It was great! Thanks for checking out the channel and the video!
Tasty!!
So good, I had it twice that week :-)
What temperature is “medium”?
When I refer to medium that’s where I set the gas knob. On my particular grill that runs at around 203C/400F
Where did you source the cedar plank - Weber sell them but they are pricey
Yeah, the Weber planks are a rip off. The cedar planks I bought are from Mariano's, a grocery store chain here in Chicago (I think they are owned by Kroger). They come in a pack of two for $6 USD.
Costco sells cedar planks in bulk. $40 for a pack of 24. $1.67 per plank.
“Hopefully my hands are clean”… just no … otherwise great stuff CG
Haha yeah using bare hands is a bit of a bad habit of mine. As I joke with my fiancé “but we are cooking it anyways…” 😉🙃
@@ChicagoGriller of course - all good! Maybe it’s just psychology … not appetizing to imagine a cook working with unwashed hands
