Title: Monster Chops
Post by: Queball on September 25, 2017, 07:35:32 PM: Was at the butcher and there acquired 2 bone in, pork chops that were huge. In structure they were like a porterhouse steak with a tenderloin on one side of the T bone and a strip steak on the other. There is a name for this chop but it escapes me.

I have big hands in comparison, and they were cut thick, over 2".

Decided on low and slow cook, 250* to an IT of 145. Rubbed them with my standard pork rub.
[ Invalid Attachment ]
Placed them in "Ole Fast Eddy" along with 2 sweet potatoes and gave them some smoke and heat..
[ Invalid Attachment ]
Hit them with a little Stubbs to finish them off.

Cooked up some green beans and dinner was served.

Could you make an apple stuffing, maybe some raisins, maybe use cornbread? Maybe that sound horrid -- I just like those ingredients and wonder if they would work? I think the hazelnut crust would work well with that combo.
