Basic pork chops on the RT590

[chingador]

Took the day off today so I am happily doing the 4 day weekend thing. Still had to do some work stuff that kept me occupied until midday. Duty calls. But still have the afternoon to do me.

Went to a local park and played some tennis. Decided to support some local businesses. Picked up a 3 pack of growlers from a local brewery. While I was at the brewery I noticed that they had a pop up meat market happening. Supposedly restaurant aged beef sold to the public. Picked up a 2 pack of Angus bone in ribeyes for a couple future meals. Support local, damnit.

Oh, where am I? Oh yeah, pork chops.

Bought a pack of what H-E-B calls pork ribeye chops. Not sure where they are cut from but they do have a decent amount of fat in them. Rubbed with coarse salt and pepper and a little garlic. Cooking over B&B mesquite pellets on the RT590 at 225. Will pull at around 125 then give a bit of a sear and pull between 145 and 150 or somewhere in that ballpark.

Really loving those mesquite pellets. Bought 2 more bags at Academy yesterday (curb delivery-YES).

In the que: fish fry tomorrow
Cooking 3 racks of ribs Saturday over cookin pellets 100% hickory. A 9lb Boston butt goes on for an overnight cook for Easter dinner.

Bottle of 409 will be safely out of harms way

Okay went a little over on the slow portion. Chops pulled at 129. No problemo. Chops resting in the kitchen basted with chili, lime butter. As soon as the RT gets up to 450 will finish.

Yes please!

I tell you what. Awesome stuff.

Pulled at 145. Basted again with chili lime butter and rested for a little bit. Very juicy, very flavorful. The right amount of smoke. Can still taste the pork. Tremendous.

Let's review: bone-in ribeye (world's #1 protein) + pork chops + fish fry + ribs + pork butt. That's a lineup you can win with.

Ancho chili powder from Penzys. Lime juice, salted butter and granulated garlic. Nothing too fancy but really good
