Hella long day
« on: April 20, 2016, 02:54:37 PM »
Needed to relax for a bit before I had to get back on the laptop. Thick cut bone in prom chops under the lid. This is the best way...

There's a problem with your first picture. Some red thing is on top of the bottle.
It's the iconic symbol for the backyard. It's family/friends, food and fun. What more do you need to feel everything [is] going to be all right. As long as we can still have a BBQ in our backyard, the world seems a bit of a better place. At least for that moment. -reillyranch

Pretty funny addicted to smoke. It was open and left on to keep the bugs out.

It was just me and the two boys tonight. I thought one chop would be lunch tomorrow. Nope 15 year old thought they were too good for leftovers and ate two. Crazy teen will eat me out of house and home :-)

My 13 yr old eats normally at home. Not too much. But at a restaurant he'll order 3 or 4 adult entrees if we don't stop him. And he's skinny!

Those look awesome.   Pork chops are the one thing I've struggled with since I switched to charcoal.  Do you go with high indirect the whole time?

I did indirect with the Slow n Sear - full chimney - fully burning - no water - one chunk of apple wood.  Put a probe in the biggest chop, placed chops on the indirect side and closed the lid until the internal temp. hit 135. Grill temp was between 335 and 350 the whole time. Then seared them over the hot side for a minute or two on each side. 

Everything I cook using a temp probe comes out much better now.  I used to overcook everything (even on the gasser).  I was always afraid of under cooked - especially pork.

Thanks for the quick reply.  I'm going to try this method next time.  Come to think of it, I don't think I've cooked pork chops since I got the slo n sear.

Sounds like you need to find your 15 year old a job that pays in meat!

Or start sending them (teens) to the buffet.
