I use Superior Planks who operate out of Madeline Island in Lake Superior, Wisconsin. Their planks are pretty reasonable and they are produced in a very green manner - www.superiorplanks .com
I prefer to use their Smoky Red Oak for most all veggies - particularly asparagus and portobello mushrooms. But the Sweet Sugar Maple is fantastic for Tempeh and Tofu. We have also done rice-stuffed red peppers on Maple and it was a really great meal.
You can plank anything - not just fish and meat. It is a great way to enjoy vegetables and veggie dishes in a different way.

Is planking a healthy way to cook food?
Planking is indeed a very healthy way to cook food. This is because you do not need to use any butter or oil in the cooking process instead the plank takes the place of the oil and butter - both of which are fats which we should try and cut down on. Also we rarely add any salt as the smoking plank adds all the extra flavor. This is good for our hearts. At home we plank regularly because it tastes great and is a pretty healthy option considering the usual ways we cook. I learned most of this from Superior Planks - their website is www.superiorplanks. com - you should check it out.

How do you plank fish - does it matter what wood you use?
You can plank fish in the oven or, more usually, on the grill using untreated natural wood. Some wood works better than others for different types of wood - I regularly plank my food - I only plank fish and vegetables - my husband is a vegetarian. If you are good with your hands and have the time you can make your own planks - but do insure it is untreated otherwise you can get sick.We always use Cedar - I think that that is the standard for planking fish - though I know you can use other hard woods - like oak and alder. I buy from superior planks - there is a wealth of information on their site - www.superiorplanks. com - I hope this answers your question

How To Grill With Cedar Planks?
If you are a backyard chef, a grill is probably in your arsenal when cooking for friends or family. Using cedar planks for direct grilling can give not only a unique flavor, but a fresh new presentation of everyday grilling staples.Getting your planks readyTo correctly grill with cedar planks, there are a few easy steps. The first is to prepare the planks for grilling. Pre-soaking the planks is the first step. Soaking the planks in water opens the pores of the planks for good grilling. You can use just water, or try a citrus juice to give your planks a different flavor when grilling. An overnight pre-soak is always recommended, but if you only have a few hours, it is fine to go without one.You can store pre-soaked planks in the freezer, so they are ready when it is time to grill. When you are ready to cook, just take the planks out of the freezer and thaw them using hot water, and you are ready to grill in less than 30 minutes. Get the planks ready for the grillAfter the planks are pre-soaked, wipe them down and rub them with some oil, so they are ready to cook any meat or vegetables you want. You can even add spices like garlic, salt and pepper to the planks to give them an extra kick as they grill meat. Get your grill started, and put the planks on to get them preheated.Always have a spray bottle of water with you, in case the planks or the food grilling catches on fire. Plank your meatNow you are ready to grill. Get the meat for grilling, season it and put it on the plank. Once the heat hits the plank, it smolders, so the flavor of the cedar transfers to the meat, giving it full flavor. Cook the meat to your desired taste, and serve it up.Grilling with cedar planks is a way to transfer the taste from the planks into fish and other meats by simply using a few steps to extract the flavor.
