Have you tried this with beef or chicken? Would the longer cooking time of beef and chicked cause the plank to burn to much?

Great Question. After filming this video, I tried it with chicken. The key is to keep the flame low. The board will last long enough to finish the chicken. Not much longer than that, though. I do recommend steak on it too, but be sure to butterfly the thick steaks for extra flavor and shorter cooking time.

Awesome video - well done. I'm going to ask a really silly question: is there any way to use cedar plank on something like a george foreman grill?

There are no stupid questions. The problem with George Foreman grills is that they are press grills. I would believe it would put the heat in contact with the plank which could start fire. If that is all you have then I would do it in the over. Take the plank on the wire rack and mean on the plank. Put foil underneath to catch drippings. Keep a close eye on it through the window. I have not tried it, but all you need is indirect heat to make the water in the plank steam through the meat. The Foreman grill is too direct. I am guessing on the Foreman grill. I have not tested it, yet.
