Use mrytlewood at the price of mrytlewood? If you use mrytlewood for your planks, stop, go to cedar and triple your yearly donations to Free Republic.

A couple of years ago, my wife, and I took the jet boat from Gold Beach on the evening run up to one of the lodges for dinner. The main entre was salmon done on cedar planks. It was delicious. I asked the Indian chef what type of cedar, and where I could buy it. He said that it was Port Orford Cedar and that Costcos that year were selling the planks. We bought a couple of packages after we got home. I use the same plank several times.

He, also, grilled some salmon fillets with a cedar stick stuck in the fillet and then the stakes were stuck in the ground around a big bunch of cedar hot coals. This is the traditional Indian way of doing. That was the best. Of course, the fire marshall would drag me off to jail if I did something like that at home. Besides the cedar would cost several hundred $'s (still cheaper than mrytlewood).
