Made this with the variation, marinated for 24 hours and then planked it using a one inch by ten inch by sixteen inch cedar plank. Soaked 2 planks for 24 hours and cooked for an hour, after 15 minutes cooking I then placed small new potatoes cut in half on the second plank. Everyone was raving about it and they all wanted the recipe.
