Pitmaster Tips
Use Bone-In Pork Chops
Bone-in chops retain more moisture and flavor during grilling.
Let the Rub Sit
Allowing the seasoning to sit briefly before grilling helps develop deeper flavor.
Finish with Sauce
Adding sauce near the end prevents burning while creating a sticky caramelized glaze.
