Salmon Grill Tip, from Jake

Another way to prepare salmon is to use alder or other wood planks, available in some Costco and grocery stores. Soak the planks, then put the fish right on it. The alder protects the flesh of the fish and adds a sweet smoky flavor. Top with lemon.

Grilling Ideas from Jake

Next weekend I'm doing chicken and ribs. We like a marinade called Dakota Buckaroo. The chicken will be done over low heat because these are quarters with the bone-in, so they have to be done slower to avoid raw meat around the bone. The ribs will be done over low heat in a foil boat to avoid flare-ups that char the outside and cause them to be done too soon.

Grilled NY Strip Steaks, from Jake

I've got some 1" NY Strip steaks in the fridge right now. Salt, pepper, put on a grill on low for 25-30 minutes (should result in medium-rare to medium done). Flip every five minutes. When flipping, rotate 45 degrees to achieve diamond-style grill lines.
