Best Grilling Planks of 2025

"My husband isn't a fan of fish, but he really enjoys the salmon I grill on these planks. They add wonderful flavor! They’re smooth and a great price. I will definitely buy them again!"

"These planks provide the best smoky flavor for salmon. I soak them for a minimum of 30 minutes and they come out perfect each time. This is by far the best value I've found for grilling."

"I've used cedar planks for years, and these are awesome for salmon. They impart a smoky flavor and keep the fish moist. Even though they're slightly smaller than my previous ones, they still work great for a 1.5 sockeye fillet."

"After using these planks, they ended up warped, but they worked well to infuse different flavors into the meat, especially salmon."

"I ordered these for my dad for Christmas, and everyone absolutely loved them! They thought it was a great idea. However, they were a bit on the smaller side, accommodating maybe two hamburgers or one steak at a time. Just a reminder that these are for single-use only. Despite that, the quality seems good, and I’d consider buying them again."

"I typically grill 3-4 times a week, and after trying these Outdoor Gourmet grilling planks, I found them to be excellent. The smoky flavor they added to my salmon and tuna fillets was delicious, making grilling so much easier. The company's website has various recipes and ideas, including oven planking which was a delightful surprise!"

"These planks work amazing on my kamado Joe for grilling salmon. They really add to the taste and have a good smell. The appearance is restaurant quality."

"I had no complaints! The salmon turned out fantastic on these boards. I do recommend a much longer soak, though. This is a good product that I will use more often now that it's cooler!"

"I bought these for my smoker, and I couldn't be happier. They make the cook so much better!"

"I cooked salmon on one of these planks for the first time, and it was quite good. I believe it will turn out even better next time now that I've gained some experience. I think I need to leave the planks on the grill a bit longer to get a smokier flavor; we'll see."

"I’ve grilled salmon steaks a couple of times using these planks, and we absolutely love them. The cedar flavor transfers to the fish amazingly well. Just pre-soak the planks in water, place the fish skin-side down, and put it on the grill. It’s a fantastic quick meal with a hint of cedar flavor and smoke!"

"I tried using these planks for salmon and tuna steaks, but they came out just okay. I didn’t notice a significant flavor difference even after soaking the boards in salty water for hours. The tuna looked unfinished, so I had to broil it for a bit, which felt like a waste of time. I’ve always preferred baking or broiling my salmon in foil packets with lemon and garlic, so I think I’ll go back to that method."

"I absolutely love my new cedar planks! The quality is much better than the cheaper options I've seen locally. The slide-in bag for storage is a nice touch, too. After soaking the planks overnight, we grilled shrimp and salmon, and the flavor was just amazing. I highly recommend these planks and will consider them as gifts for family and friends!"

"I recently received my cedar planks, and I'm impressed with the fine quality. They're nice and thick, perfect for holding larger fish pieces. After soaking, I grilled cod filets, and they turned out fantastic. The plank held its shape well and seems durable for many more uses. I’m very pleased with this product!"

"Having just returned from Alaska with King salmon, I’ve been using these planks on my propane grill. The flavor is incredible when using the planks compared to grilling directly. I've reused one plank several times, and it still performs well. These planks are large enough for my needs, and I doubt I’ll be satisfied with restaurant fish after this!"

“I've been using cedar planks for grilling fish for a while, and these XL Cedar Grilling Planks are perfect! Their extra-large size accommodates larger portions, which is fantastic. I love that this pack includes eight planks, allowing me to use several at once. They’re easy to prepare—just soak them in water—and my food always comes out flavorful and moist.”

“I mistakenly ordered the wrong size planks! They’re much larger than I need, but they are fantastic quality for the price. Each plank is about ¼ inch thick, so I could reuse them if I wanted, although I wouldn’t personally recommend it. The pleasant cedar scent is a nice touch as well.”

“My husband is a huge fan of cedar plank salmon, and grilling it at home is much more affordable. These planks are long and thick, which is great. Just soak them first, and you're ready to grill. They offer good quality and quantity for multiple uses.”

"I found these planks to be affordable, especially compared to the ones at my local store, and they definitely get the job done! I love that I can save money while enjoying my grilled fish!"

"I've been using these planks for grilling fish, and I absolutely love them! The cleanup is easy, and the flavor they add is fantastic, especially with Montreal Seasoning. They can be a bit pricey, but if you catch them on sale, it's worth it!"

"I was a bit disappointed with these planks. Almost every one has splits, knots, or missing chunks. The rough side is quite rough, and the air holes make flare-ups more challenging. I think I’ll look elsewhere next time."

"I found these cedar wraps at a great price, and they worked amazingly for smoking salmon! I will definitely buy again!"

"After soaking the wraps overnight, I grilled salmon and was pleased with the results. They kept the fish moist and added a nice flavor. I love that I can store them and they act as a moth repellent too!"

"These cedar planks are perfect for grilling salmon. I noticed they are thicker than the local ones I usually buy, so I’m very happy with my purchase!"

"I didn't use this for flavor; rather, I utilized it as a laser project material. Hickory is an exceptional wood for finishing lasered projects, yielding a smooth finish superior to other hardwoods. These panels are just right for small signs and produce fantastic results."

"While the product is small and does warp with heat, it still serves as an acceptable option for my needs."

"I specifically purchased these to add smoke to my cocktails. Using a kitchen torch on a single spot until it ignites and then inverting the glass over it creates a dramatic effect. It truly elevates an Old Fashioned to a whole new level!"

"Unfortunately, I found the aroma and flavor to be quite unpleasant. It had a scent reminiscent of toddlers' poop during the stomach flu."
