First, find the square footage of a 6" x 36" plank. 6 x 36 = 216 square inches. There are 144 square inches in a square foot (12" x 12" = 144). So divide 216 by 144 to get the square feet per plank. 216 / 144 = 1.5 sq ft per plank.

Your room is 16' x 12'. Multiply the two numbers to find square footage of the room: 16 x 12 = 192 square feet.

You have 192 square feet, using planks that are 1.5 sq ft each. 192 / 1.5 = 128 planks.

Generally, you will want to add from 5% to 10% for waste, depending on your layout (is it one big room, or several smaller rooms with lots of cutting?) (are you doing a straight layout, or diagonal?) and your skill level. If in doubt, add 10% to be safe.

128 planks + 10% --- that's 128 x 1.1 = 140.8 planks.

What are cooking planks?

Cooking planks usually refer to planks of untreated wood used in the oven as opposed to grilling planks that...as you'd expect you use on the grill or barb-be-que. Cooking planks and grilling planks are, in some quarters seen as the same term see www.superiorplanks. com, but I believe that cooking planks are generally thicker and used exclusively in the oven. Cooking planks can, depending on species, be used many more times than grilling planks....have used mine countless times and although it looks like it has beend used many times it will be used many times still. Trust this, at least partially, answeres your question.
