    Heritage, thick boneless center cut loin chop -- when to pull?

    OK, second Slow 'n Sear cook coming up, and I'm getting some heritage chops, 1.5" thick I want to slow smoke and reverse sear. My first project was medium instead of medium-rare because I screwed up and let the temp rise to help with getting the coals ready for the sear, and the meat overshot a bit, so I want to nail these pork loin chops. I'm also not sure if pork heats at a different rate than beef. No reason it should, I just never thought about it before. Planning on dry brine and plain coarse pepper for rub on these premium chops.

    So, aiming for 145* at the end and using the cold grate sear method at the end when do I pull 1-1/2-inch chops? I'm planning on pulling at 135 not tenting them with foil, just let them sit on a plate while the coals heat up, then do the cold grate sear, 1 minute, flip, 1 minute flip, then another minute a side or maybe 30 seconds depending on probe reading. Serve immediately. Sound right?

    Thanks for any advice!

    NM, found my own answer, and from Meathead, no less!

    Pull "Pork chops or roasts, 130°F for a finished temp of 145°F."

    What is the right cooking temperature for barbecue? It depends. Not all food should be cooked low and slow or hot and fast. Sometimes, a combination of both is best, as seen in the reverse sear and in sous-vide-que. Read more about 2-zone cooking and when to grill with the lid up or down for perfectly cooked BBQ.


    I will report on the cook later.

      All three of us agree; favor 130 though. Too nice a thing to overcook.
