Steps:

• Soak a cedar plank in water overnight. (Weigh it down with cans or something else heavy to keep it submerged.)
• Heat grill to medium, and brush grates clean. Season pork with salt and pepper.
• Place pork on soaked cedar plank. Grill pork on plank over direct heat with lid closed (the grill should reach 425 degrees on a grill thermometer), until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the pork loin reaches 138 degrees, 50 to 55 minutes.
• Remove pork from plank and let rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature with salsa.

CEDAR PLANKED PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Immerse cedar plank in a sink or large container of water. Place a heavy object on plank to keep it submerged. Allow plank to soak for at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours.
• To prepare rub, combine paprika, oregano, sage, thyme, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, pepper and cayenne pepper. Spread rub over pork. Let stand for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, preheat natural gas barbecue on medium heat for 10 - 15 minutes.
• Remove plank from water and rinse. Place pork on plank.
• Place plank with pork on barbecue grid on natural gas barbecue. With lid down, cook pork over medium heat until a meat thermometer registers 160°F, about 1 1/2 hours.

Do not reuse cedar plank for cooking.

CEDAR PLANK PORK LOIN

Steps:

• Start with an untreated cedar plank (14x7x1 in). Make sure the plank is untreated. Immerse the plank in water and soak for at least 4 hours. You may have to weigh it down with a can.
• Preheat grill to medium heat. Using a brush, brush one side of the plank with oil. This will help prevent food from sticking to wood. Top the plank with meat, place on center of grill. Close the lid.
• Grill 1 hour or until meat thermometer inserted into thickest part of meat registers 150 degrees F.
• Check back occasionally to ensure plank doesn't flare up.
• You can brush with barbeque sauce during last 20 minutes of grilling time if desired.
• Remove from grill, cover loosely with foil. Let stand 10 minutes until internal temp reaches 160 degrees F. Disgard plank.
