 I got  to try out some really awesome products from Chef Locke and Tailgatingplanks.com These guys sell some great products for tailgating and grilling.

Have y'all ever had beer can chicken? The Beer Butt Chicken Plank makes it super easy to make this delicious style of bird. You just put your beer can into the hole in the middle of the plank making sure at least half of it is above the wood line. Soak the wood until it swells enough to make the can fit tight (60 to 90 minutes). In the meantime season your bird. When your pit is ready pop open the beer can. slide the raw, seasoned chicken over the can Put the plank on the pit and cook until done. The beer makes the chicken moist and delicious. The plank makes it all possible and pumps up the flavor. Complete instructions for beer can chicken come with you Beer Butt Chicken Plank.

Next up is your classic BBQ Grilling Cedar Planks. If you have never tasted food cooked on these babies you are really missing out. We had salmon.   I have to say this is honestly one of the very few ways I like salmon. There is something about the flavor of the wood that grills fish beautifully. Also great for chicken, veggies, beef, seafood and pork. Again they are easy to use. Soak boards until the water makes em lock together. Put your favorite food on top and grill em.
