The best plank grilling book by far

I own several plank grilling books
[Sticks and Stones - The Art of Plank Grilling]
[The Plank Grilling Cookbook - Planking Secrets].

I also own Steven Raichlen's Beer-Can Chicken and 74 Other Offbeat Recipes for the Grill and have read his discussion of plank grilling there.

Planking Secrets is by far the best of the lot. The discussion of the history, science, and technique of plank grilling is second to none, and the recipes are the best I have ever tried. Every time I cook a recipe from this book I get rave reviews.

Just tonight I cooked a maple-planked chateubriand with a coffe/cocoa/cinnamon/pecan/pepper rub from page 154 that was so good it left everyone literally speechless. If you are going to try plank grilling you simply have to own this book.

The Author clearly knows just about everyone who is anyone when it comes to fine foods, because some of the best in the business have contributed recipes and techniques to this book.
