I live in the NW and I've used cedar planks many times to grill my salmon on. It works very well.
My wife brought home some cedar planks she found at an upscale food market. After recovering from the shock of her paying $10+ for a couple of 1/4" thick boards, I got the idea of using cedar shakes. You just have to make sure they are'nt treated in any way!
At any rate, soak the planks (shakes) for a few hours before using.
There are many recipes for this technique on the web. Just do a search for "cedar plank salmon"
Try it, you'll like it!
