I just got a new gas grill last week and I think I would like to try grilling some pork chops. I have never grilled pork before so this will be a new thing for me. Is there a certain thickness I should look for? Is it better to marinate or dry rub? I don't know a lot about pork and am looking for a good recipe. I am going to be having people over for this on Saturday. Should I do a practice run before then or is it pretty straight forward?

Thanks.

keep it simple, I just use salt and pepper, med high heat, and cook until about 140 - 145 internal temp.....buy a good thermometer

some say to brine pork, i tried it and was not happy, but something you should try for yourself and see how you like it

Brining adds moisture and flavor, not sure how someone could be unhappy about additional moisture and flavor.

I am in the minority on this one and I guess it is just me, or maybe I could improve on the way I did it, but I felt it changed the texture of the meat. Anyway I was not impressed with it the few times i did it, but as I stated above he should try it for himself

Olive oil s&p garlic powder and cavendar's seasoning is Delish every time for me.

If you can talk to the butcher get 1 inch bone in chops for grilling purposes.

1 inch or so thick chops
Olive oil, cavendar's greek, garlic
Get your grill hot
Place chops on at a 45 degree angle
2 minutes, turn 90 degrees, 2 minutes, flip and repeat

At the end of 8 minutes, they should have some beautiful grill marks and be done at just a little over medium (you don't have to burn pork anymore, the USDA says so LINK

Found the video- skip to the last 5 minutes or so

Thanks guys, these are great.
I guess I will need to get a new thermometer. My wife wants me to get a digital one. She doesn't trust the old fashioned kind.


I have never heard of cavendars. Can I get that at any grocery store?

Yeah, it's with the spices. It's a greek seasoning. I would advise getting the one without salt and adding your own. Cavendar's is like Tony's- really really salty

I prefer boneless, Tony's and cracked black pepper.
