I was recently invited to take on the Outdoor Gourmet “Planksgiving” competition, a friendly plank grilling recipe competition amongst some of the finest Outdoor Cooking food bloggers out there, of course I accepted!

Who is Outdoor Gourmet?

The Original Grilling Plank

Outdoor Gourmet is the original, modern-day manufacturer of cedar grilling planks, introducing them to the market in 1995. Outdoor Gourmet now produces six flavors of grilling planks, as well as cedar wraps and skewers. We sell our products in all 50 U.S. states and export all over the world.

A Little History

Grilling on cedar is a classic cooking technique in the Northwest. It was created and perfected by the peoples of the Pacific Northwest coast during the yearly salmon runs. When European settlers arrived, they liked scrumptious cedar grilled salmon too, so they adopted the practice of grilling on cedar shingles. Today, we draw inspiration for the shape of our modern grilling planks from 19^th century cedar shingles.

Manufacturer and Wholesaler

We are a small family-owned and operated manufacturer and wholesaler. We offer our most popular sized grilling planks as bulk seconds at a deeply discounted price. All of our material is sourced, and our products are 100% made in the USA. All phases of manufacturing take place at our Sandpoint, ID facility. We use only food-grade lubricants in all of our machinery to ensure the highest standards of food safety. Local manufacturing and control also ensures that our organic grilling planks are 100% pure.

Sustainably Produced

Our mill and offices are located in the heart of Western Red Cedar's botanical range, in Sandpoint, Idaho. The environmental cost of obtaining and transporting our raw material, measured in fossil fuel consumption, is very low. Instead of cutting down trees, we recycle second-grade pieces from local suppliers that purchase lumber from sustainable sources.

They were kind enough to send me a couple of their special grilling planks at no charge for this competition and I choose a Maple Grilling Plank to create my recipe on.
