Funny, I haven't cooked a chop in... for-never. Just remember the dried out versions from my youth. This looks great and may be the nudge I need to get over it.

Since getting my Thermapen our chops and boneless skinless chicken is nice and juicy. I take my chops off the grill between 145-150 IT.

Awesome looking chop, there was a time when I feared the dried out chop like @kettlebb said temp is the key

Yep, temp is key.  Dont over cook pork chops and they are nice and juicy.

All I have to say, is I went to a party one time. One of those bring your own meat things. All could afford was wimpy pork chops. These other people had t-bones, ny strip, ribeye, when it was time to eat, I would not have traded my spg pork chops for anything! Pork chops are wonderful. Yours looks delicious!!

I'm convinced. Therma-pen and a thick chop is on my radar.

In addition to taking them off at the right temp a good brine will do wonders for pork chops...I rarely grill or smoke pork without brining first...

I'd like to here more about crash hot potatoes...Those look fantastic...

Crash hots are so simple and so good.  Take small baby red potatoes and boil or microwave until they are just getting tender, not too tender you want some firmness.  Lay them out on a baking sheet and press them with a potato masher.  Just once to kind of flatten them but leave them whole.  Drizzle with olive oil or melted butter and season.  Grill indirect for about 20 minutes. You want a nice browned crispy exterior and a light fluffy inside.
