Found some really nice extra thick and meaty Loin Chops at Costco yesterday, I knew right away they were meant for my smoker/grill.

Menu
Loin Chops, Extra Thick with the Full Treatment
Oven Roasted New Potatoes
Green Bean Almondine Casserole
Sauteed Portabellas, Peppers, Onions in Spiced Butter

The Chops
Made an Apple Juice/Apple Vinegar Brine, with brown sugar and salt and brined them for 12 hours.
Then a rinse and dry before a good dusting of a homemade savory rub.
Before laying them down over Cherry in the smoker they got a good Apple juice spritzing.

225°-250° for about 1.5 hours brought the average IT to 130°.
Then it was onto a scorching hot grill and finish at 140°-142° IT.
A nice 30 minute rest while my roasted potatoes finished and then dinner was on.

Looks great!!

We buy Costco loin cut chops all the time--they DO bbq real nice.

I never thought about putting onion soup mix on roasted potatos but I like the sound of it. I'm gonna try that.

Thanks for the compliments y'all.
 
Just woke up form a leftover lunch induced nap.
Leftover smoked meat is da'bomb, that extra time for the flavors to all meld together.

Chopped up a couple of chops and have them marinating again in a extra spicy Al Pastor sauce.
Gonna be some yummy, fire breathing tacos for dinner.
 
Man there is just something about leftover BBQ that lends itself to Mexican food. Tacos are a favorite but I made some enchiladas from a leftover butt a few days ago that were the bomb diggity!

Oh yeah, leftover Pot Roast makes some serious Machaca con huevo for breakfast, shred and fry with onions then add some eggs, mmm, mmm, just add some frijoles refritos and it's fit for royalty.
