SRF Chops

Ozzie picked out a care package from SRF for a Christmas gift this year ... small ham, pork chops, and bacon.  Today was the day to test out the chops.  Each chop was about 0.43 lbs ... one was 1-1/8" thich and the other was 1-1/4" thick.

Fired up the egg with Rockwood lump and apple wood for smoke.  Target temp was 500 degrees and the grill was elevated to 4" above the felt line with no indirect stone.  A little EVOO for stickiness and a medium coating of Penzeys’ “Pork Chop” seasoning had the chops ready to go.  (Penzey’s lemon pepper is a good substitute, as is S&P … just remember not to use a heavy coating of anything as it can overpower pork.)  Loaded the egg with lump to just above the top of the fire bowl, added a few chunks of apple for smoke, and brought it up to target temp.  Used a Thermoworks Chef's Alarm to monitor the thicker chop ... target IT was just before 145 degrees.  That's the correct temp for the missus.



Cooked for 6 minutes on one side and then flipped.  The Chefs Alarm went off after about 5 minutes on the second side.  My locally purchased chops are 2" thick, and thus, take longer ... glad for the Chefs Alarm.



The chops were great ... probably the most flavorful I've cooked.  They received a double thumbs up from us tonight.
