I've been aware for years of the method of grilling salmon using a cedar
or alder plank underneath it, which chars and burns above the hot coals.
I've seen special planks in the usual outlets, outrageously priced, to
accomplish this. Recenly I bough some at a closeout price, and I'm
thinking of trying it.

Anybody ever do this? Does it work well? Got any tips?
