    <p />BEAST,
    I grill direct at about 400/425 to an internal of 150. Don't overcook or they will be try. Use your favorite rub and they will be great. They will take about 20/30 minutes depending on thickness. Good luck, Tom

    BEAST,
    treat them like a steak...
    sear/dwell or dwell/sear.[p]best to put them on room temp (or even to get them up to 100 or so by immersing in hot tap water for 20 minutes). if you do the 'hot-tub' immersion, you'll only need to sear, and they'll be done. they'll also be mostly pink, rather than have that harder, dry-white well-done perimeter on the outside with a smaller amount of the desired doneness at the center . [p]i'd use a thermapen to take them off at 140. that will leave you slight pink in the middle. pork does not need to be taken to 165-170.[p]salt before they go on, maybe some garlic powder. a little pepper when they come off.[p]did them two nights ago. they are vastly different than how mom used to cook them.

    BEAST,
    this is easier than it looks, canned chillis and cheese works well for a filling as well. this is the only way to cook thin boneless chops on the egg and keep them moist that ive found. thicker chops i trex.

    you can lead a fish to water but you can not make him drink it

    BEAST,
    Scroll down a little and see how I cooked mine last night. You can use any kind of sauce.[p]Mike

    fishlessman,
    That looked absolutely wonderful!!! I'd like to get a butcher to open up a whole loin and stuff it that way.

    BobS,
    works good with the loin as well, ive tried a few recipes that had walnuts and other nuts and found they gave me a bitter taste, pine nuts worked well for me. this also works very well with beef bottom round sliced quarter inch thick, sear up little ones like i did the pork chop and then simmer in a sauce with meatballs and sausage. its more of a technique cook than a recipe, because every thing seems to work with it. with the beef, i coated with lemon juice, then layered proscuito, cheese, pine nuts, fresh basil, then rolled. really good simmered for hours in sauce.

    fishlessman,
    The simmered beef sounds really good! Might be fun to do a sear with some smoke and then slow cook in a dutch oven.[p]I have also had good results with cashews.

  • fishlessman,
