Can anyone here produce Grilling Planks?

[Woodworks]

Didn't get around to a BBQ the other night but had a quick play in the workshop with an old oak offcut.

 

Look forward to trying them out

Sorry no, they would need to be like in the picture. Straight edges and all that. I'm sure it would work on yours though.

 

Does the wood need to be seasoned or will green be okay?

 

Also are any other species suitable, thinking Ash, Larch and Douglas Fir?

 

What is the spec on size and thickness?

Kill dried to be honest. Some shops like them in packaging that would cause anything but kiln dried wood to go mouldy.

 

I am looking at sourcing British grilling planks, using British woods. The best one would be Oak, Alder or Beech. Silver Birch would also be good. Any fruitwood would be fantastic, but good luck trying to mill that.

 

The specs can vary, as you can buy different sizes. 7" by 14" is a popular one, but I have seen 6" by 15" as well. Roughly 1 by 2 as a ratio and about 1 cm thick.

Any idea how many you would be after Lewis?

[shendy]

I like them. How many uses would you get out of one? Bet people will pay a lot for one aswell.

What sort of quantity are you after?

Enough to see if there is any demand for them. Maybe a few hundred?

[se7enthdevil]

should try to find someone who can cut them from the offcuts of oak framers...

Hi everyone,

 

With spring just around the corner I am getting lots of requests for grilling planks again.

 

The dimensions I am after are 30cm long, 14cm wide and 1.5cm deep.

 

I am looking to purchase 500 oak grilling planks that are cut to these measurements and kiln dried.

 

If anyone is interested please drop me a PM.

 

Cheers!

Uncle Arthur Morton had a "recipce" for cooking some otherwise unpalatable freshwater fish between Elm boards, with various herbs and other palaver, over a long cooking period.
