Today Fired-up the Weber Performer Deluxe with Costa Rican Charcoal fitted with a SlowNSear Plus,SlowNSear Easy Spin Grate and DripNGriddle Pan in which I grllled two(2) very tasty Pork Chops,Char-Roasted Corn and some Costa Rican Pork Chorizo. My Costa Rican Wife also added a tasty green salad with some Costa Rican Avocados to this mix to add to the healthy side. Oh, the wife and I split the one Pork Chop and Chorizo and gave the other Pork Chop and Chorizo to one of our Costa Rican Neighbors. The corn was bought at last Sunday's Farmers Market and was really tasty!

J Grotz; Thanx for your comment;

First, soaked the corn in cold water for around 30 minutes.

Weber Performer Deluxe Temperature was around 400F when I placed the Aluminum Foiled-Wraped Corn which contained some butter and lemon pepper on direct heat turning-it around every 10 minutes for a total of around 40 minutes; then removed the foil to char-up the corn on direct heat until our liking which was around another 15 minutes. Please See the added photo which I edited a few minutes ago to my original post showing the Aluminum Foil Wrapped Corn.

Oh, I forgot to add I Brined the Pork Chops for 12 hours which produced a tasty and moist Chop. I am now in the habit to almost always Brine thick cuts of Pork and Chicken.

The Brine:

8 cups of water, 5 cloves of smashed garlic , 1/3 cup Sea Salt,1TBS Dried Black Ground Pepper, Splash of Coca Cola, 2 Bay Leaves, 1/3 cup sugar

Nice variety, Richard! What's Costa Rican chorizo like? Is it spicy?

Brad,
Nope; but you can buy spicy Costa Rican(Tico) Chorizo which is very tasty but not really spicy enough to my liking. I do miss the Mexican Style Chorizo in the good old USA. Many Costa Ricans, like-my-wife, do not like the really hot-stuff.
The Tico Chorizo pictured is from one of our neighborhood "Carneceria" which produces a very tasty if not spicy Chorizo. Most of the small local butcher shops have their own secret recipe which produces some outstanding Chorizos at a very nominal cost.

Tim: Yep, it was a very Life-Is-Good Grilling Session as I did not include a photo of the 1/2 empty Argentine Chardonnay Wine Bottle on a side table. Argentine Wine is a big winner down-here.

Richard, Great looking lunch! I’ll be right over. 😋
And you can get Moosehead beer in Costa Rica. Wow! It was first brewed here in N.S. in 1867. The Oland family still has a brewery here but Moosehead is brewed at their N.B. Brewery now.
