And 3 lonely mushrooms I found in the fridge.
Just starting the cook. Chops brined overnight with soy and sage and onto the grill.

    My sous vide should arrive this week. In fact I think you may have had the post that kicked me into action. That and @JohnInCarolina 's chocolate pudding jars of greatness.

    Looking good for the 24th, excellent choice. Had a roast yesterday, today will be beef dip and some french fries, taking the day off so as to speak. 
    SV will open the door to a ton of possibilities. Pork chops, brined, lightly seared in CI, then into the bath and CI seared for finish is our go to. Your egg may never see another chop!
    Happy Victoria Day.

    After the flare ups that I had with these maybe no more chops on the egg is a good thing. I find it hard to get the  fat nice and crispy without burning things. Added a premade chimmichurri which was ok and some balsamic on the peppers. 

    Plated picture but definitely not my best cook to date.

    I am eating my sous vide chops now, and you can mark my words, I will NEVER go back to grilling chops. These are the best I've ever made by a long shot. Consistency is unreal.

    140 degrees for two hours and quick sear.

    Further to @slovelad comment, the edges, that crispness you are looking for is a simple matter of holding the chop with tongs in the lock position so the only contact with the CI pan is the fat edge. Try some Desi Ghee if you have a South Asian store nearby, you can make your own clarified butter for the sear, but ghee is easier to use.
