How long?

[OrlandoBoone]

Hi guys, I have been here for a couple of weeks and I find information that everyone shared really useful. Honestly, I am not good at cooking but I really like it. Sometimes I make grilled pork chop for my family members but it seems not delicious. I wanna ask you guys how long should you cook pork chops on the grill? And what flavor did you add?

Welcome. Time is irrelevant with Cops and thinner cuts. 1 1/2" chops go longer than 3/4". Cooking to Internal Temp (IT), gives more consistant results.
Chops are Lean and dry out easily. Get yourself a Multi-Probe Thermometer and an Intant Read Thermometer. Pork Chops are best grilled or smoked until the Internal Temp (IT) gets to 140-145°F. These will be tender, juicy and slightly Pink in the center. If Pink pork freaks anyone out, cook until the IT hits 150°F MAX! Still juicy but no pink. Set up your Grill for Indirect Heat, hot on one side, no heat on the other. Place the Chops on th Cold side and cook, turning occasionally, until the IT reaches 120°F. Then finish them over Direct Heat, to Sear, turning every 60 seconds, until the desired IT. You can baste with sauce but be careful not to burn the chops. Move on and off heat as needed.
A soak in a flavorful Brine, 4 hours to overnight, adds moisture and tenderizes. Add a Rub of choice and you are good to go. Below are some recipes I use. Good Luck...JJ

Apple Pork Brine

2-12oz.Cans Apple Juice Concentrate
1C Apple Cider Vinegar
1/4C Molasses
1/4C Mustard
1/2C Kosher Salt
1T Sage, rubbed
1Gal Water

Combine all and Brine the meat at least over night, 24-48 hours would be better.

Mild Bubba Q Rub (All Purpose)

1/2C Sugar in the Raw (Turbinado)
2T Sweet Paprika (Hungarian)
1T Kosher Salt
1T Chili Powder* (contains some Cumin and Oregano)
1T Granulated Garlic
1T Granulated Onion
1tsp Black Pepper, more if you like
1/2tsp Grnd Allspice

For more heat add Cayenne or Chipotle Pwd to taste, start with 1/2tsp and go from there. Makes about 1 Cup

Apply your desired amount of Rub to the meat, wrap in plastic, cook right away or rest in the refrigerator as long as needed.

Note*...Some Chili Powders can be pretty Hot. McCormick and Spice Island are Mild

Welcome to the site, McCormick's smoke house maple is really good on pork chops and pork steaks if you don't want to make a rub, Chefjimmyj is correct on the temps and a instant read therm is really helpful until you get use to cooking stuff, keep in mind the leaner cuts can or will dry out before they take on any browning,
