    Go simple and grill them at high temp like a steak. Just let them dwell to desired doneness. This will let the flavor of the pork shine through.

    Smok'in CSI,
    I have never done chops on the egg, so I can't vouch for any recipes, but in the New Recipe Submissions section above, there are seven different recipes for pork chops. One of them might be up your alley.[p]Good luck.

    RhumAndJerk,
    I agree. We get 1.5" thick double-loin chops all the time and all we add is the Hickory Mollasses Char-Crust that creates a dark flavourful crust that perfectly complements the nice pink blush in the chops when pulled at 140°F...

    Simple is the key to seasoning, treat them like a steak sear & don't overcook or you will dry them out. Take them off at 140. I always toss a chunk or two of apple wood in when doing pork; I think they were made to go together. Try a simple marinade of your favorite rub or even just olive oil & lemon with that. I have also taken them off the grill & brushed with a marinade or BBQ sauce for those that like them that way. That's the best part of egging - you really can't go wrong. . . good luck. . .

    If you can, brine those bad boys for a few hours. Then cook them real hot with the rub of your choice(I prefer Jamaican Firewalk by the dizzy boys)Pull them around 140*-145* and let em rest for about 10 minutes. You will enjoy them. Tell us what you do, and how they turn out.

    Smok'in CSI, I kind of hate to admit this but I sometimes marinate them in Jamaican jerk and then Shake 'N' Bake them, indirect. JCA

    J Appledog,[p]Honestly..I think shake-n-bake is way underrated.[p]Here's another thing I'll admit...I sometimes use taco seasoning..from the little envelopes..as bbq rub for pork. Pretty good actually..and I forget the brands..but you can get some that are not all msg and all those other weird chemicals I can't even spell..let alone pronounce.[p]There...I came clean.[p]TUS

    Smok'in CSI,
    Marinate in Stubb's Pork marinade for 24-48 hours, then coat in Dizzy Dust. Grill on the egg w/ cherry, hickory, or JD chips at 400 until 140 internal then let rest for 5-19 min. Awesome everytime!
