Pork chop brining question

fairchase

Cooking 16 porterhouse chops 1  1/2" tonight.
Just put them in a brine . 
16 oz kosher salt , 3/4 C Brown sugar and 1 1/2 gallons of water.
Planning on leaving them in there for 2 hrs.
Then applying Mickeys coffee rub.

Should I rinse them when the come out of the brine or just let them dry ?

I've heard it both ways. I don't rinse them personally. There's not enough residual sugar or salt to taste, and the scant bit of sugar that's there helps with the browning process.

Pat em dry and rub em down and cook em.

I always rinse because that's how I learned. Last week I forgot to rinse some chicken breasts after the brine. I added a semi salty rub and threw them on the egg before I realized I had forgotten. I was sweating it but they were perfect. No difference that I could tell. So- rinse, or do not. You'll be fine
