Okay, so i had the saw already! But, you could buy cedar shingles (shakes) that are about the same thickness and length. I believe a bundle of these costs around $15. Enough to last you a year or so! </div></BLOCKQUOTE>
I actually sell these things to grocery stores here in Seattle. It's a nice way to get a little smoke into the fish on a gas grill. I would, however, be very, very, careful about using shakes - there's no knowing what chemicals tehy've been exposed to - one could potentially get pretty sick.
@Art Sobczak: What you're talking about is called "par-smoking" and it used to be a popular treatment in restaurants, especially with black cod. but in recent years, most places have moved to planking - it's easier to cook individual pieces of fish on the 4x8" scraps they use. AND it's good marketing.
