Which came first the chicken or the egg? I egged the chicken and then I ate his leg. -
I have to admit, I have never been a fan of chops. Always seemed too dry out, except the one time I ded them SV. Because of that, I've never tried egging. Yours look awesome! Secrets, sir?XL, JR, and more accessories than anyone would ever need near Olympia, WA

Always act so that you can tell the truth about how you act.

I think overlooking is the biggest problem with chops. If you have a nice thick chop and pull np just shy of 140, it shouldn't be dry, but nice and flavorful.MediumRarely said:

@PNWFoodie ... one other suggestion is to get two bone chops ... minimum of 1.5 inches thick. That, like brining, gives you a little bigger window between undercooked and oh damn. 550 degrees, direct, raised into the dome, about 5 minutes per inch on the first side, flip and start "thermopenning" when you are at 4 minutes per inch on the second side.
@theyolksonyou is spot on with pulling just shy of 140 degrees. With the higher temp gradient in the chop it'll run up an extra five plus degrees. That'll get you to that sweet spot where the chop is tender and flavorful, but not pink ... my spouse is old school and turns up her nose if the meat is pink.

These guys hit it on the head. A simple brine is key. I only brjne chops, even if only for an hour or two. Also be sure you don't overcook. I pull when I see 140-145 and let rest tented in foil. Usually knocks it out!!
