The Never Ending PORK CHOP Thread

[gtr]

I did these last week, am traveling now, but didn't want to wait till I got home to post these for fear of being too late.

Rubbed and sweating (Dizzy Dust)

Did a reverse sear.

They came out nice!

I've been doing the portion control thing lately and it's been working for me.

Sorry to be squeaking in at the last minute like this. If it's too late, I'll understand.

Well, since those look so good, I'll go ahead and keep this open a little longer.

Good cuz I've got some farkin' pork nuggets in the freezer.

Well, since I wasn't able to get my Cook like a Gore TD in time due to circumstances completely beyond my control, at least I can enter something from that cook. And how fitting - pork chops no less!

I'm hoping Chris will let this one slide, as I know this TD is closing any minute now!

Started out with a nice fresh rack of pork chops I got at our local butcher. These are amazing chops and we like them so much we won't buy them anywhere else now:

I seasoned the chops with Moose Rib Rub #1, along with some parsley sprinkled on top, in honor of Gore. Gore likes parsley on his chops!

I fired up the WSM, added a couple of pieces of hickory and oak, and put the chops on:

At that point, I decided to take a break, I cracked open a cold one:

I checked the ribs after about 1.5 hours, and flipped them:

The chops took just under 3 hours to cook at 275 degrees. They were perfectly moist and tender - just a slight amount of pull.

Thanks for checking out my Gore-y pork chops!

I vote for the second to last little red X as the TD entry pic.

I just cut up some pork loin into chops. Is there still time to cook up an entry? I may not be able to do it until the weekend. I'll understand if that's too late.

No problem. Just let me know before you post it so I can close the thread then.:becky:

I can't wait to start voting once the poll goes up. :mrgreen:

 

[Gore]

Oh pork chop TD, I feel I've neglected you. Let's get reacquainted. Chris, can you put off the poll for a couple more days, please. I'm using one of my Moose cards.

Since Bigabyte entered his fish sandwich into this TD, I'm going to enter my bacon triple cheeseburger:

:thumb:

I think it's a rib end according to Biggy's Phirst post....the butcher always pulls out a rack like that when I want a custom cut.
Yesterday he asked me if I wanted the loin part...I went for the opposite side.

 

[Gore]

That is absolutely farkingtastic. :hungry: I know what I'm voting for.

 

[deguerre]

Yes!

 

[bigabyte]

That's it, this one's over. No sense in me entering now.

 

[Gore]

I don't think we even need a vote. Moose, can you send Phubar his certificate.

 

[gtr]

Phark that looks great!

I cooked some chops tonight as well - Pheaturing the Sishado marinade and smoked Phubarb sauce brother Phu gave me.

Tasty stuPh - thanks Phu! :clap2:

 

[bigabyte]

Holy farking chit!:shock: I gotta get over to your thread and learn more about that!

 

[SmokinAussie]

I'm still workin on this one....

My First Bacon Chop was a failure... no, actually it was awsome, but I gotta perfect this before I post..

Damn Phu and GTR, you two are like two pork chop swingin' brothers from another mother. GTR those chops look farking fantastic and that Phubarb sauce looks too legit to quit.

 

[Gore]

I also cooked up a couple of pork chops :roll: for dinner last week.

I thought they might be useful in that other throwdown, in case food became scarce.
