Default First chops on the grill grates

As most of you know, i have a pair of those fancy grates from grillgrates.com.

I tried them out for the first time tonight on the new gasser and they work fantasticly awesome!

Here is my recipe i used:

half gallon of water
1/4 cup salt
2 tbls herbs de provence
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp dehydrated minced garlic
2 tbls brown sugar

I let the chops brine for about 3 or 4 hours. When i grilled them, i sprinkled liberally with fresh ground black pepper. They were center cut loin chops according to the package. They are like the rib eyes of pork. Im guessing that if they were to cut the bone from the chop, they would sell them as baby backs.



i used a small smoke bomb of cherry chips that sat about 2 inches above the flame. Got some nice TBS from it. The chops were juicy, tender and very very flavorful.

My only beef with my new grill is, i had all 4 burners on high for 15 minutes, and it BARELY reached 400*F. I do not like the 2 foot by 4 inch gap in the back of the cooker between the base and the lid. i gotts to fix that some how while still allowing the lid to open

any ideas?

thanks guys!

Matt
