Heat your grill to medium-high. - Place the Food on the Shingle
Fish, chicken breasts, or even seasoned veggies go right on top. - Grill with the Lid Closed
Let the magic happen! The shingles release steam and flavor into your food - Serve on the Plank
Looks rustic, tastes amazing.
Bonus Tip:
Add fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme between the shingle and your meat for even bigger flavor!
An extra bonus you didn’t expect — if you’re building an outdoor kitchen or BBQ zone with cedar shingles as siding or wall accents, they also help block neighborhood noise and echo. Functional and flavorful.
