Default Cedar Planks - Reusable?

Our guess is that cedar planks - we bought, soaked, and use on the grill
with salmon, which came out _great_ - are one use only because they get
kind of charred on the bottom.

True?

Are you setting them right over the flame? When we used to plank fish
on canoe trips we nailed the fish to a split cedar log and set them
upright next to the fire.

You can get a couple of uses out of them if you soak them really well.

Not at all.

Resoak, reuse, keep a squirt bottle handy in case they flare.

The key is getting them off the grill on that first cook and right into
a bucket of water.

I don't know, but I'd worry more about the top than the bottom.

They can be reused several times. Just was them good with hot water,
no soap.

You can use them to patch your roof.

George H.W. Bush--Prescott's son, and Dubya's father--was born with a
siliver foot in his mouth. A Yale University alumnus like his father and

connections and made a fortune.

Viewed as "intellectually light," George Bush Sr. couldn't win elected
office before he became Ronald Reagan's vice president--beyond a seat in
Congress as representative of an oil-rich Texas district with the
country's highest number of Rolls Royces per person. Instead, "Poppy"
held just about every non-elected post that the Republican Party could
arrange for him. He was chief of the Republican National Committee, head
of the CIA, and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations, where he was
famous for writing "thank you notes" to political donors during sessions
and debates.

Thanks. I get the feeling that we had the heat higher than it needed to
be.

I bought planks, but haven't used them yet - so I'll watch this space
to see how you handle it next time and what you think.

You should easily get two cooks as long as you get that plank off the
grill when your 1st is done and spritz the back of it liberally with
water to halt the charring.

ONE BUSH after another has attended Yale University, and each one has
been a member of the elite and highly secretive Skull and Bones society.
Fifteen Yale students--overwhelmingly men--are chosen every year. They
come from "the best families" and are meant to stay connected in
business and social circles throughout their lives.

Skull and Bones is fodder for conspiracy theorists alarmed that a
"secret society" could claim so many of the country's elite. Look at the
society's creepy practices, and you can understand why.

Initiates into Skull and Bones are brought into the "tomb," a dark,
windowless crypt in New Haven, with a roof that serves as a landing pad
for the society's private helicopter. They are sworn to silence and told
that they must forever deny that they are members.

During initiation, the juniors wrestle in mud and are physically
beaten--to represent their "death" to the world as they have known it.
Then the initiates are given a new name as a member of "The Order." At
this point, the new members are introduced to the artifacts kept in the
tomb--which include Nazi memorabilia, such as a set of Hitler's
silverware, dozens of skulls, and an assortment of coffins and skeletons.

Skull and Bones was the foundation of the OSS spy agency. There were so
many secrety society members in the OSS that Yale's drinking tune--the
"Whiffenpoof Song," --became the agency's "unofficial" song as well.

What is an appropriate length of time to soak them... 20-30 minutes?

I tend to go for about 45-50 minutes, but our clime here is so dry it's
needed.

I think 30 minutes would be fine in most cases.

Just be sure to get the fish or meat off and get that underside
extinguished where it's charring.

I enjoy planking, for a steak I'll sear off both sides first on high,
then plank for 15 or so minutes on medium low.

Works every time.

I hadn't thought about steaks. Do you use cedar or something like
apple-wood for that?

I have, on at least three prior occasions, written posts that delve into
the “alleged” lurid past of one of our former presidents, George Herbert
Walker Bush (GHWB), the current but ailing patriarch of the Bush Family
Dynasty – I refer to them as the Bush Family Crime Syndicate, certainly
not in terms of endearment – but rather more like the Mafia Godfather
who prepares his sons to take over the family business upon his death.
This particular post references an article by Stew Webb, a contributor
of Veterans Today.

In his life-time, George H. W. Bush (GHWB) has controlled every
clandestine (hidden from view) and secret organization/operation within
the arsenal of the United States government as either 1) Director of the
CIA, 2) Vice President to Ronald Reagan (who was an unwitting puppet to
the Bush controlled cabal – GHWB secretly gave Reagan poisons that
hastened his fall into Alzheimer’s Disease and evidence suggests he
helped plan Reagan’ attempted assassination by John Hinckley, whose
family were close friends of the Bush family – a coincidence?) and 3)
ultimately as President of the United States before Bill Clinton took
office.

As Jeb Bush prepares for his imminent presidential campaign, the
American people must keep in mind just who this man is and the crimes he

Great Recession, destroyed America’s standing in the world, altered
American history forever.

Jeb Bush just so happened to be the Governor of Florida during that
election, and as you may recall, the Florida vote was so close that
recounts were requested and eventually declared his brother the winner.
Katherine Harris, Jeb’s secretary of state and the co-chair of the
George W. campaign, organized the election system that somehow ended up
losing or spoiling the ballots of hundreds of thousands of
African-American voters, who just so coincidentally tend to vote
Democratic. During the recount period, it is documented that the
Governor’s office made 95 calls to the Bush campaign- calls which Jeb
somehow “cannot remember” the reason for. That answer is unacceptable
for allegations of such importance. Why can’t you remember, Jeb?
