Smoking Plank
Best reliable cedar planks for home grillers seeking authentic smoky flavor.
This is the easiest way to introduce authentic wood-fired flavor to your grill without the hassle of a dedicated smoker. It acts as a protective barrier that keeps delicate proteins moist and tender, though you sacrifice the charred, direct-flame crust that some grilling purists crave.
