Recycling Painted Cedar

I have enough cedar boards for another boat, but it is painted on one side. To remove the paint, I tried running it through a planer but it gums up the knives quickly and the owner's manual of the says not to do that.

What is the quickest, cleanest, safest, easiest way to remove housepaint from western red cedar? Heat gun?
