The Missus picked up these two fine specimens the other day at a local ethnic market we frequent:

These are just SO much better than what we get at local supermarket!

I decided to dust them with some Rub Co. BBQ seasoning, which I've really been enjoying lately:

I then set up my Kingsford Oval for indirect, and added some pecan and hickory to the coals and put the chops on:

Turned them after about 10 mins:

When they were about 80% done, I moved them to the hot side for a good sear, making sure to put the bone side of the chop towards the heat:

When they reached 145 degrees internal, I pulled them and let them rest for a bit:

Meanwhile, The Missus whipped up some of delicious couscous to go with the chops. She served that along with some melon, accompanied by a nice cold frosty lager:

The whole meal was outstanding - the chops were very moist and juicy!

Thanks for checking out my chops...
 
Looks good, but how did you keep them from sliding off the plate in the top "plated" photo?

Nicely done!

I picked up some Kurobuta at Huntington's this weekend & it was fantastic - for the price it had better be!
