No cedar, PTL for Salmon plank on the BBQ?

I would think the nasty fungicides/chemicals in pressure treated lumber precludes its use in food preparation.

Death could be a side effect. Nice troll David.

Don't you have any minnows for bait David? Salmon's pretty big and expensive to be using for that purpose.

Cedar planked Salmon, yum!

Evening all,

A friend of mine told me about doing Salmon on a Cedar plank on the BBQ, and that it was quite tasty.

I don't have any cedar scraps around the shop right now. The last deck I made was from pressure treated lumber. Since both are used for decks, do you think I will have any problems using PTL planks to cook my Salmon on?

Thanks,

David.

None at all, should be quite tasty.

No problem..and if you dont eat all the salmon, it'll 'keep' for 30 years, just like the PTL

You can use PTL but the fish will wind up looking like Tammy Faye.

Of course if you EAT the fish you too would wind up looking like Tammy Faye!

If it's a Chinook Salmon caught in Lake Erie the PTL may help neutralize the chemicals the salmon pick up from the lake.

Should be okay. Make sure you baste it in Cuprinol whilst cooking.

Personally, I have never planked a salmon...but there is this cute sheep...alas, I have said too much.

I have planked before, but not with cedar, I have used mesquite and cooked steaks on it. You have to soak the wood for a day or so and keep it wet/moist while cooking. Really makes the steaks taste great.

That's a good way to prepare carp, too.

Except you throw the fish away afterwards and eat the plank.

Good troll, Older PTW used arsnic a one of the chemicals. Tasty fish.

I only use Trex. You never know what they may have actually used for PTL.

Plus, what doesn't melt can be used for smoking later.

That stuff is dangerous. Use hemlock instead. LOL. Nice job David.

squeamishly, jo4hn

Somebody help me with this hole in my lip?

er

Better go trolling for that fish first, then come back and ask the question again.

That material is to be used *only* in the preparation/cooking of infant goat meat. This has been _well_known_ for many years. To wit:

"Silly rabbi, Trex is for kids."

"Oh. Cedar makes your life easier."

"You may think its butter, but its snot."
