Skinny Pork Chops @ 700 degrees

[ChuckO]

Pork Chops for dinner tonight. Never have been able to make good chops over charcoal, so I cooked the family's chops in the Genny and I cooked mine in the Akorn Jr

Got her up to 700 with a couple hand fulls of Jealous Devil Lump

And on they go

Two minutes

Two minutes can do some serious damage @ 700

Another two minutes and pulled. The 2nd two minutes was much kinder to the chops. Slight temp drop on the Akorn, but that's probably from opening it

Plated

Probably my best charcoal (lump) chops, but still not great. Good, but not great. Hope everyone's May has been good to them, I can't complain too much. The Giants are 500+, but I believe that's about to take a turn for the worse. Been crushed the last few games. I don't think my NYM vs NYY bet for the 2018 is going to pay anything, but that's what I was thinking back in February.

Chops look good, Chuck! I've tried them many ways, and I have found I prefer to pan sautee them and finish with a nice mustard pan sauce......I'd guess it's the lean, supermarket pork. I've had much better results on charcoal with thick, "artisinal" pork (ie: heritage breeds like Kurobota that actually have fat!)

As for the G-Men.....I have some hope for them this year, and hope that the Phillies series will be just a bump in the road. Rockies are hot, D-backs look good....... Maybe we need some brats?

The chops came out alot better than the Giants did today

Come on Chuck, that's only 696. Nice looking plate there for sure. As for the Gigantes -- no pitching. Hopefully it will turn around!

 

[Robert-R]

The chops look pretty good to me. 950* next time?

They look great Chuck, but like in a thread I started, I'm so done with tasteless pork loin chops and roasts.
Pan fried some breaded rib chops the other night, damn near ate the rib bones too they were so good.

 

[Rich Dahl]

Like Bob said rib chops are all I'll do now.

 

[Phil Perrin]

Those look good!
But I'm with everyone else. Rib chops, thick or thin, are what I seem to grill best!

Chuck-O As you know if want high heat the Devil delivers. Hope that you are enjoying the charcoal.
As my addiction grows....... I just ordered a M1 grill/smoker. A true stick burner. When will it stop?????
BTW Jealous Devil advertised a special deal for local customers coming later this year. I take it that means you boys out there in Cali,
maybe you will get some great prices. Keep on Q'n!
And the chops look guud.
