A quick weeknight cook on the Assassin 48.

I dry brined the chops for a few hours with Naturiffic Harvest Brine and cooked hot over a glowing bed of B&B competition oak briquettes and a chunk of plum wood.

Oakridge Smokey Chile Lime was used on three of the chops and Oakridge Competition Beef and Pork rub was dusted on the other three chops. I glazed the SCL chops with a blend of two bbq sauces; Honey Soy Ginger Little Heat (about 2/3) and Kinder’ Roasted Garlic (about 1/3).

I should have glazed all of the chops, it was a terrific combo and added flavor and color. Served with rice and corn, thanks!

Awesome!!
 
Heck, I'd be willing to take those less beautiful unglazed chops off your hands, but that's the kind of guy I am.
That looks like a very nice and tasty meal!!
 
Could that same process be used on a flat top?

I don’t see why not, I have done thin steaks on the flat top and they get a nice sear. I have not tried chops on the griddle yet. You may want to have a meat press and/or nick each side of chop with knife to prevent thin chops from “curling” during cooking.
