My order arrived in record time and I was really looking forward to my FIRST plank cooked meal! I used an alderwood plank, followed the instructions with the plank and cooked 2 Talipia filets and a Swordfish filet. OH MY GOD! They were to die for! Great flavor, moist,and cooked to perfection. We will never cook fish any other way again! Since than, I've cooked beef, pork and other types of fish using both the cedar and alder planks and everything has come out absolutely outstanding. What make this a great value is you get both cedar and alder wood planks for a variety of flavors with different types of foods. I love the milder alderwood with fish but the cedar goes great with salmon and ribs. So play around with each type to suit your own taste but DO TRY PLANK COOKED FOODS! You'll never go back to plain old BBQ foods again! Great buy and one I will be repeating over and over again as we go through BBQ season (which is all year here in San Diego)!

I don't know if the Cameron planks are any better than others I've tried, but plank grilling is great. Cedar, Adler, and others are all good and impart a nice smoky flavor and aroma to all sorts of foods. Perfect for indirect heat on a gas grill. I've had great luck getting multiple uses from planks (soak 'em well), so per use cost is less than buying wood chunks for a smoke box. Different companies have slightly different dimensions, which could be important depending on the size of your grill.

Back in 2009 I posted a negative review on this product because the plank and my food burned to a crisp. I have since learned how to use the planks and I want to post this retraction. Here's the trick.

1. Soak the plank for at least an hours completely submerged.
2. Cook on indirect heat (burners off directly under the plank)

Sorry for leaving my old review up for so long. This product works fine if you know how to use it!

Disappointing, little to no cedar flavor in the fish. Can't be used again, fell apart when tried to clean. Try another brand.

We bought a Big Green Egg smoker and use these on it. We plank Salmon mostly, and we have gotten 4 uses out of the plank so far. If you soak it in water really good before using it, you will get good use out of it.

I haven't used these yet, but my first complaint is that these planked aren't marked. There are supposed to be two alder planks and two cedar planks in each package, but they aren't marked and I can't tell which is which.

This is the best price I've found for these.
Delivery was quick and they work as expected.

bought this as a gift. Was informed planks will be used mostly for grilling fish. I will be invited for dinner :)

Planks were advertised as 13" X 7". Two of the planks were, but the other two were 13" X 6". That one inch is the difference between a salmon fillet fitting nicely on the board or not. Would not buy or recommend this product again.
