An apparatus and method for thoroughly soaking wood for use in the grilling or preparation of food. The apparatus being capable of accepting and soaking wood in the form of wood planks, wood chunks, or wood chips. The apparatus in a form of a tank which holds the cooking wood plank in liquid for any amount of time, ensuring that the plank absorbs the liquid evenly and for a long enough period for proper cooking. Other items can be added to the liquid while soaking, such as seasonings, sauces, or other wood types. These flavors will meld with the liquid in the tank and evenly distribute the flavor to the cooking plank.

The system of claim 1, wherein the lid portion includes a spout. 3. The system of claim 2 wherein said plank of wood is comprised of an aromatic wood for the preparation of food on a grill surface. 4. The system of claim 1 including wood chips in an internal space defined by the tank portion. 5. The system of claim 4 including water in the internal space defined by the tank portion. 6. The system of claim 5 wherein said wood chips comprise an aromatic wood for the preparation of food. 7. The system of claim 1 wherein said tank portion, said lid portion, said hinged latch portions, said latch tabs, and said securing tabs are comprised of clear plastic. 8. The system of claim 1 wherein said plank of wood is comprised of cedar. 9. The system of claim 1 including a water-proof gasket located between said tank portion and said lid portion. 10. A system for soaking a wooden plank, which system comprises: a tank portion comprised of a front wall including an internal face and an external face, a back wall including an internal face and an external face, a proximate sidewall including an internal face and an external face, a distal sidewall including an internal face and an external face, a floor including an internal face and an external face, two latch tabs, and four securing tabs;two of said securing tabs being fixedly connected to said proximate sidewall internal face in a vertical orientation, and two of said securing tabs being fixedly connected to said distal sidewall internal face in a vertical orientation;one of said latch tabs being fixedly connected to said proximate sidewall external face, and one of said latch tabs being fixedly connected to said distal sidewall external face;a lid portion conforming to the tank portion, the lid portion comprised of a top face, an inset bottom face, a proximate end, a distal end, a handle, two hinged latches including latch tab slots, a spout and a spout cap;said front wall, back wall, proximate sidewall, distal sidewall, floor, and lid portion defining an enclosed box-shaped internal space having a height greater than either its width or its length;said handle connected to the top face of said lid portion via handle screws;one of said hinged latches being fixedly connected to said lid portion proximate end, and one of said hinged latches being fixedly connected to said lid portion distal end;said spout in a threaded engagement with said spout cap;a water-proof gasket;said tank portion adapted for receiving said lid portion, wherein said latch tabs are received by the latch tab slots of said hinged latches, and wherein said water-proof gasket is located between said tank portion and said lid portion;a sleeve defining an enclosed internal space, the sleeve conforming to the internal space defined by said tank portion, and said sleeve adapted for being received by said securing tabs;said sleeve comprised of a front wall including an internal face and an external face, a back wall including an internal face and an external face, a proximate sidewall including an internal face and an external face, a distal sidewall including an internal face and an external face, a floor including an internal face and an external face, a top wall comprising a lid including an internal face and an external face, and a hinge connecting said top wall to said back wall;wherein wood chips are introduced to the internal space defined by the sleeve portion; andsaid sleeve front wall, back wall, and sidewalls including a plurality of perforations, said perforations of suitable size to prevent said wood chips from escaping the internal space defined by said sleeve.
