Has anyone tried grilling salmon on a cedar plank in this grill?

Yes, I have. You need to soak the cedar plank for many hours to be sure that it is really soaked - otherwise it just burns and flames.

I grill on my laminate counter top. It has not damaged it. It should be ok. Good luck!

Unfortunately I am unable to help as I have never used with salmon. Have only used for Asian cooking

Donald, I run a group for this grill, and one of my friends has done bacon, and it works perfectly!!! https://www.facebook.com/groups/JimMarMicro/

I have not tried it but I see no reason why not. Not of course with the wooden tray. Otherwise the cast iron platter should stand the heat.

Not difficult at all. My partner has a trick.....when heating up place a piece of tinfoil over the grill and leave on for 10 minutes. Everything wil easily scrape off with a grill brush.

I have not, but I would think it would work fine. It has some extra fabric on the sides that tie down with sticky tape so I can't imagine it not fitting. Looks to be the exact same grill as the stand alone grill. My cover quickly faded due to the west sun hitting hit, but it still is in good shape. Glad I have it.

A cedar plank imparts the cedar flavor into the food while cooking. This BBQ mat simply keeps food from sticking to and/or falling thru the grill grate.

I used the grill cover for two seasons (leaving it on an exposed outside grill) with flare-up and really hot coals. It finally decomposed. So with that in mind, and I personally don't cook fish on an open flame, I would say that you can decide for yourself. After all you didn't really ask a question/

Has anyone used this grill with a separate skillet or grill on top of the grates. For instance, to cook bacon and eggs outside when camping?

I've done thick sliced bacon on this and there's no grease splatter (although I don't like the way it cooks bacon). when you grill or cook meats on the stove there is grease splatter because all that grease and fat is right on the heat. with this product all the grease falls to the bottom. as long as you have water in the tray there's no smoke and the grease is floating in the water. I really don't see a reason for a cover because grilling time is short and, hopefully, your not grilling thick meat. in my experience with this product anything over 1/4in is to thick, unless its fish (but the salmon I tried was a little under done at a 1/2in thick).

I suggest not to. The planks are intended for use outside in a charcoal or wood grill. The plank can catch fire if the heat is too high, so I suggest cooking with them outside on a grill. I've never used them inside the house. hope this response helps!

Yes, I have cooked a whole fish wrapped in foil and steaks right on the grates. I have also cooked the whole fish right on the grill. Brush olive oil, stuff with thyme, lemon slices, salt & pepper.

I've never tried it or heard of people trying it. I'd check weber.com they might have some guidance, but I got to think with some ingenuity it could be done.

So far we have only used it for salmon; each time it's been some of the best salmon I've had. My husband recommends cooking it skin-side up first, when the plank is the hottest, since the second side will need to cook a little longer than the first. We imagine it would also work quite well with scallops, shrimp, thinly sliced beef, or veggies.

Assuming you are referring to UNTREATED cedar grilling planks -- you should have no problem with closed knots in the planks. Some folks think that the knots actually release more aromatics and see them as a plus. If you're talking about knotholes, then it would not surprise me if the holes made it easier for the planks to burn. Since you should have a spray bottle (water) handy to handle flare-ups as a matter of routine when using planks, you're probably okay even with knotholes.

I have not tried. I have briefly handled the grill grate in my BBQ since I need to move some coals and all I felt was a little warmth. If I were to pick up a burning log in a campfire I would only do that if there was a section of the log that was not on fire. I am confident I would be protected from surrounding heat but I wouldn't attempt direct flame contact. That is what fire poker and tools are for.
