Maple Bacon Pork Chops

[MacEggs]

I just recently picked up this seasoning, and this is my first try with it on pork.






I have become a big fan of the pork rib chops that can he had at my local Costco.  Usually just over $3 per pound.

I have also become a big fan of cooking them indirect for about 40-60 minutes (depending on thickness), then finish direct.

A light coating of EVOO, the above seasoning, plus some fresh ground salt and fresh cracked pepper. 
Total weight for these two were about 20 ounces.  On they go after a 20 minute pre-heat ....
Used some apple wood for smoke.  The intakes were open just a crack at this point.




The kettle of choice for these was my trusty 18" OTG.  It's pretty much my workhorse for most small to medium cooks.




After 50 minutes, I put on some fresh green and yellow beans.  Also, opened the intakes wide. 
Prepared a salad using some more fresh stuff .... My wife would be proud.    It was a bachelor night, after all. 






After 60 minutes, I put the chops on the direct side for 5 minutes per side.  Then rested for 10 minutes.








I am not a big BBQ sauce guy when it comes to chops and steaks, and these were no exception.  The flavour was fantastic all on its own !!









Thanks for looking.

It all looks great, Mac! 18's are my favorite cookers. They run heat so well. Tfs!

Geez, First you get me geeked up with Frank's Red Hot rub and now Bacon & Maple Syrup.  I like the way you guys do it in The Great White North.  Chop's look fantastic btw.
