Cedar Pork Roast
with a Maple Mustard Glaze
This incredible pork roast on the
plank has a unique smoky-apple flavor. Large roasts can take up to 1-1.5 hours on the
grill and you will need to watch the grill and monitor the temp so that the plank is just
smoldering and does not flare up on the edges. Use a little water to douse the flames if
they do flare up. Use a meat thermometer and serve when the temp reaches 160 F.- let stand
for 10-15 minutes then carve and serve.
