So the wife and I went to the farmer's market last week and a local farm was selling pork. We picked out a nice pair of chops to be my first pork grilling experience. I made a marinade (Moore's, lemon juice, garlic, rosemary, and EVOO), and let them marinate for a few hours. Tossed them on my kettle over indirect heat until about 125°, then moved over the coals to reverse sear till 140°. I wasn't expecting the big pork fat flare up, so they charred a bit more than expected. I was afraid they'd be no good. Took them inside to rest, and when we cut, the inside was PERFECT! I'm not normally a big pork fan, but I liked these. As for the asparagus, I just wrapped fresh Spears in bacon, sprinkled with SPOG, and cooked indirect. What do you guys think?

I definitely don't mind a little crispy on chops, or steaks for that matter.

Looks to me like you're off to good start ! ! !

You need to come cook for my wife....I can never get the proper amount of char for her & those look just exactly right!!!

The secret is to have no idea what you're doing.

Nice first cook posting! Those chops look great.

Great looking chops...We call that char...

There is a fine line between sear, char, and scorch...Char is perfect in my opinion...
