I Was Getting Tired Of Chicken, So Last Night I Tried Some Porkchops. I Seasoned Them With obie Q Smooth Move, And Put Them On A 350 Degree Raised Direct Rack. This Was The First Cook using The Thermopen, And Even though The Back Ones Got To 180 They Werea Still Awesome. Next Time I May Try A Reverse Sear, But They Were Great Without It.

    Well, "spa-Peggy" is kind of like spaghetti. I'm not sure what Peggy does different, if anything. But it's the one dish she's kind of made her own.

    You should try brining your next pork chop cook.  Juicy as can be.  Brine of salt-sugar-rub for six hours!

    I have cooked a lot of pork chops over the years and never tried brining.  Someone here posted pictures of the juice as they cut a pork chop.  This brine was simple:

                                    1/4 cup of salt

                                    1/2 cup brown sugar

                                    1/4 cup of dry rub

                                    1 quart of water

    Brined six hours - one inch thick pork chops, cooked direct, raised grill to an internal of 140 degrees -- rest ten minutes and serve.......................
