I was hoping I'd be able to reuse mine. I oiled the board first as instructed by the recipe, but the skin stuck to the board when I removed the filet. Mine were not expensive planks though. Maybe I'll spring for better planks next time.

Plenty of treated out there. Most cedar these days is very young and a lot of it is treated. Not all though but you do have to watch.

I can't believe I haven't done this before now. It was incredibly easy. I mixed up a little bit of Tony's in some olive oil and rolled the asparagus and salmon around in that and grilled it all on cedar. Great flavor.

We had some old TVA utility poles on one of our farms that they replaced and they were made out of Western Red Cedar that had been treated with creosote. We had them sawed into boards. One of the guys that works for me planed one of the boards down and used it to cook with. I tried to warn him but he would not listen.

I can see utility poles being treated. But I have never seen cedar fence planks or 4x4 posts treated in the DFW area. We are a lot dryer than Louisiana and Texas Gulf Coast so maybe they treat stuff down there.
