Source:Marlboro Country Cookbooks –Morning Lights,Evening Fires
Soak a 1-inch thick hardwood plank in cold water overnight. Weigh it down,so every surface soaks. Dry it well and rub with oil. Place in a 350 degree F oven for an hour. Once seasoned,follow as directed in recipe. A trough around the edge will catch meat juices;otherwise,use aluminum foil to fashion a drip pan. Plank may be placed on a heavy platter before being taken to the table.
