My first try the other day in grilling up some salmon filets on a Weber Cedar Plank. Results were marginally good as we could not detect the "wood taste" and overcooked it somewhat as it was a little dry. I set-up my Weber Performer Deluxe(WPD) with the Weber Charcoal Baskets with 3/4 lit charcoal briquettes in a large Weber Chimney which cooked on indirect heat and the last few minutes the salmon cooked directly over the lit briquettes skin-side down as the wife likes crispy skin. I grilled these salmon filets at around 350F for around 1/2 hour.
I soaked the Weber Cedar Planks in cold water for around four(4) hours before putting them on my WPD..
The Weber Plank easily cleaned and ready for another bout with the Weber Fire. My next try will be at a lower heat level with the salmon skin removed on both-sides to enhance more penetration from the cedar wood and then I will finish it up with a house glaze.
On-the-whole it was a very relaxed and enjoyable way of grilling and I plan on trying this grilling method with chicken, pork steaks, etc.
