toomsdpt,
salt, pepper, egg, 160, eat
-
byc,
Do you mean 160 core temp? If you cook at 160 degress were they thin or was it a slow cook?
-
Choose a marinade of choice. I recommend cooking to 145-150 (plenty to kill any trichynosis). Cooking to 160 will tend to dry them out. Just my 2 cents.

coachfoerster,[p]Sorry---serve at 160 degrees--pull at 148-150--but then I am old school

byc,
Sweet. I thought I cooked mine too much. I think 160 core is probably a little better than 149. Thanks for the update. Hey byc-I soaked Jack Daniels chips for 30 minutes and added to the lump 5 minutes prior to putting the chops on and got a nice steady smoke flow but really didn't taste too much of the flavor that your supposed to get from these. Have had better success with hickory on most cooks. Any ideas?

I cooked some last week that were top notch. Had the butcher cut some bone in center cuts about 1.5 nches thick, right at a pound each. Found a recipe in the BGE collection for brining which called for 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/2 cup salt, 10 cloves of minced garlic and crushed pepper corns added to six cups water. Brined for about 6 hours, then sprinkled lightly with Dizzy Pig Cow Lick ( I know it's pork, but I like Cow Lick). Fired up the egg to 450, cooked about 10 minutes per side. FANTASTIC!!

Chubby, sure look good. How long do you brine?[p]
-
toomsdpt,
There is a recipe in the files called: Grilled Marinated Pork Loin Chops With Habanero Cherry Sauce, posted by Rhum & Jerk is absolutely to die for!!!![p]Takes a little time for the sauce, but this can be made ahead and there is no doubt it is WORTH IT.

Chubby,[p]I agree and do like to brine. Sourwood honey is coming into season and nothing is better than a honey brine. Coachfoster try Orangewood chunks or large OW wedges for smoke. I honestly believe orangewood is a cooks best kept secret!! I also use JD chips and like the size but find that they lose their sour mash flavor once dried out..I've yet to determine the best time to throw on the meat when looking for heavy smoke--I agree with the blue smoke approach but if you wait that long you do lose a certain amount of "heavy" smoke flavor--I believe we are close as we are winning---:)))))))--mostly in the backyard club, however!![p]David Lee[p]BYC
