Loin Chops, Extra Thick and Meaty

[ChileRelleno]

Found some really nice extra thick and meaty Loin Chops at Costco yesterday, I knew right away they were meant for my smoker/grill.

Menu
Loin Chops, Extra Thick with the Full Treatment
Oven Roasted New Potatoes
Green Bean Almondine Casserole
Sauteed Portabellas, Peppers, Onions in Spiced Butter

The Chops
Made an Apple Juice/Apple Vinegar Brine, with brown sugar and salt and brined them for 12 hours.
Then a rinse and dry before a good dusting of a homemade savory rub.
Before laying them down over Cherry in the smoker they got a good Apple juice spritzing.

225°-250° for about 1.5 hours brought the average IT to 130°.
Then it was onto a scorching hot grill and finish at 140°-142° IT.
A nice 30 minute rest while my roasted potatoes finished and then dinner was on.

Leftover loin chops were used twice for making tacos.
First batch was some extra spicy Al Pastor.

Mmmm... Yummy!
