You can, of course use any type of plank you desire, oak, apple, hickory, pecan, etc. just match it up with the type of food you are cooking.Your grilling game will vastly improve when you add Cedar Plank Trays to your grilling arsenal. I received my Cedar Planks from Natures Choice, some of the finest Cedar Planks I have ever used.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You will need a few tools to make the Cedar Plank Trays:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Table saw<\/li>\n<li>Safety goggles\/glasses<\/li>\n<li>Tape measure<\/li>\n<li>Pencil<\/li>\n<li>Drill<\/li>\n<li>Small drill bit (slightly smaller than the nail you will be using)<\/li>\n<li>Hammer<\/li>\n<li>Nails<\/li>\n<li>Cedar Planks (or wood of your choice)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I make three different sizes of Cedar Plank Trays:<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li>Small 5&#8243; x 5 1\/2&#8243; x 2 1\/2&#8243;<\/li>\n<li>Medium 5&#8243; x 9 1\/2&#8243; x 2 1\/2&#8243;<\/li>\n<li>Large 5&#8243; x 15&#8243; x 2 1\/2&#8243;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">These sizes are just what I have found to save me as much wood as possible after cutting.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The large size is same as the delivered Cedar Planks from the manufacturer: 5&#8243; x 15&#8243; x 1\/2&#8243;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So I am able to cut a medium and a small bottom out of one large plank.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The sides are cut from another piece.
