Most experienced grillers know the best way to cook for flavor and tenderness is by the indirect method. Put the plank over a portion of the grill that is only getting indirect heat.
We find the best way to cook with the planks is to put one or two planks on the grill over the coals or burner. Shut the lid for about 10 minutes or until the grill appears to be smoking
At this point open the lid and place your food on the grilling planks
Serve at the table on the plank (wonderful presentation) or serve at your pleasure. Bon Appetite
In most cases the plank will have charring on the bottom. Usually you may have 3-4 more uses. Or, if too badly charred, break the plank into pieces and add it to your charcoal for the next BBQ.
