Low and Slow Jerk Pork Chops

dstearn · October 2016

I was thinking of trying the low and slow indirect method on some Pork Chops today. Usually I just grill them via my grill grates about 4-6 minutes per side.
Has anyone tried the low slow method? Will be using Pimento wood and oak for smoke,

Have not - but not sure you want pimento and oak. A little bit of pimento goes a long way.

Good Point

I've done them a couple of times and they have turned out pretty good. Although I find that my chops are quite lean and do not have a lot of fat content so you have to be careful not to let them go to long or they will dry out somewhat. I prefer hot and fast similar to pork loin. Give it a go and see if you like it though.

They are on now at 250 grate. I will insert a meat probe shortly to make sure they do not go over 140 internal.

Be aware you will get less carry over cooking at 250 degrees.

Not as good as grilling direct.

It looks good to me.
Never heard of Pimento wood, is it similar to any other wood?

I like direct for the chops. I usually do a couple on the MM, with a few chunks of pecan in a fast cook.
Your cook looks great, how did the pimento work out?

Looks just fine from the photo. What did you feel was different or what did you not like as well as when you have gone direct at higher temps?

I chop had good flavor, it just did not have the char that you get from cooking direct.
