A two inch thick porkchop

I cook thick, bone-in chops on my pellet grill at 225° until they are 135° IT, then I sear 1-1.5 minutes per side on a really hot grill. I like MC Honey Hog on these......

A new butcher shop opened not far from home and I was wanting to fry some bone in pork chops. Everything they had as 2" thick. What do you do with a 2" thick pork chop? Mama never cooked any of these.
I would rather grill and smoke them all day long than the little skinny ones 👍🔥

That's gorgeous! I can't get my wife to eat much pork. It's pretty much a battered and fried thin-bone-in chop or nothing!

I'll take that 2" thick chop and throw it in the cure and then smoke it!
 
Smoke ‘em! Little reverse sear at the end if needed. A little brine before would help too 👍
 
These probably weren't as thick as what you got. But it sure was tasty
 
I just watched them grill on Masterchef. They looks so good! I tried to search for some today but not sure where you can get them.
 
Thats a great looking chop! Now im thinking the sous vide needs to come out of the panty!

I get them often at my butcher shop. Always brine for 24 hours. Dry off and air dry in fridge for awhile and then grill like a steak. Sometimes I reverse sear but lateley just grill to medium rare.
Last ones I did were brined with an addition of dry chili garlic spice I got at an Indian store. Topped with butter and served with coconut rice. Fantastic. Way better than my moms thin, fried then baked till they were like shoe leather. Sorry Mom, I love you but your pork chops, uhggg.
 
Agree with the 24 hour brine. It can really help the final moisture level. World's your oyster on what to put in the brine. Most likely after the brine I would season with garlic and some pepper, no salt since the brine did that part then on the grill and baste with a bit of Italian dressing. No problem with a little pink when done so I'd pull them around 138-140º and let rest for 10 minutes before serving.

My problem is finding thick pork chops. The wife and I both love them, bone-in, of course. Found some for the first time a Sam's Club a couple weeks back in a ten pack. I should have loaded up on more than one pack. Already gone.

I am mostly fine but have some health issues.
