Dichickos Garlic marinated thick pork chops done caveman style.  Potatoes and sauteed asparagus sides.

Did not have the dramatic effect on flavor that it does on beef, but did have more caramelized surface that it would have had on the grid.  Inside was moist and soft.  Nice presentation and a good entertainment for company, but not as much so as beef.

Last pic shows I got a dinner and a lunch with one of these chops.  I like it when a plan comes together.

    Looks awesome @Doc_Eggerton‌ ! Did you cook them all the way through caveman or pull them after the crust was formed and finish on the grid? I couldn't imagine sticking a thermapen down there or pulling a chop out each time you wanted to temp it.

    Edit: looking at the pics again it looks like you filled it to the brim with charcoal so maybe wouldn't be too bad temping on the coals.

    I do it using a welding glove, that's one advantage of the thermapen being so fast

    Ya I use some heavy leather BBQ gloves, I would be more concerned with my thermapen being exposed to such high direct heat.

    Did the whole meal that way.  It is no problem reaching in with a thermapen, the meat dampens the temp.  Near the end I pulled the chops and stirred the lump to get some hot coals to the surface.

    As it happens I am cooking split rib chicken breasts tonight.  Do you flip them so both sides are on the coals, or do them ribs down?

    Very nice, Doc. Been awhile since I employed the caveman style of cooking.
