Load chimney with your choice of lump charcoal – load fuller for longer grilling times

Remove top grill grate and place a piece of foil or foil pan on the grate

Add a Firestarter or tumbleweed, ignite the starter and place the chimney over the starter

Allow the charcoal to ignite about 90% with some unlit coals at the very top

Using heat proof gloves, lift the chimney, remove the foil pan and carefully grab the handles of the chimney

Pour the hot charcoal into the center of the kettle and leave in a pile

Place the dome on the kettle and adjust so temp reaches 450˚ F

While grill is heating up – prep pork chops as follows

Drizzle with oil, just enough to coat pork chops

Season to taste with Oink and Rub-A-Dub

Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes to “soak”

Open the grill and carefully add the pork chops over the hottest part, watch for any signs of flare ups

Using a long pair of tongs, flip the pork chops after 5-6 minutes of cooking

Close the dome after the chops have been flipped

Continue to cook with the lid closed and check temp.  desired temp is 145˚ F or above

Once cooked to your desired doneness, remove from the grill, close all vents and put the lid on

Bring pork chops into the kitchen

Serve with BBQ dipping sauce and devour
