Hi all,

done 2 pork chops, more than 1 inch thick, marinated with oil, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, smoked paprika, honey, salt and pepper.

Before smoking:

Smoked in the kettle until 145 degrees:

They came veeery tasty and juicy!

But...done also a simple pork chop for my little son, only salt and nothing more (see the chop in the middle of the grate):

Result? It was very tasty too! And the taste was exactly the same of the two.

So, i realize that for me all that marinating for pork chops doesn't add flavour. If a want more flavour I will add a sauce after the cooking.

My next pork chops will be only salt before bbq....perhaps also pepper, but nothing more.

Thanks for watching,
Ciao,

Great looking chops!!! You might try brining your chops, will add moisture and flavor... That being said, sometimes simple is best, nothing wrong with Salt and Pepper!!!!!

Great Looking Chops there!

I brine my Duroc Chops with simple salt/sugar brine.
No added flavors like I used to do :oops:
No attempt to change flavor, just that moisture POP that we love.

Congrats!
