Boneless pork chops are leaner and easier to cook.

Welcome to Heath Riles BBQ; today we're tackling double cut bone-in pork chops.

Cut the bone-in loin into thick chops, about 2 inches thick, leaving some fat on for moisture.

Season the chops with grapeseed oil as a binder.

Apply a heavy coat of everyday rub (salt, pepper, garlic blend) on all sides of the chops.

Apply a heavy coat of honey Chipotle rub (honey rub with chipotle powder) on all sides of the chops.

Let the seasoned chops rest for about 20 minutes while the grill heats up to around 225°F.

Add a chunk of hickory wood to the charcoal for flavor.

Place the chops on the grill and cook for about 20-25 minutes, checking the internal temperature aiming for 125°F.

After 25 minutes, check the temperature of the chops; they should be around 120-125°F.

Prepare a glaze by combining 1 cup of tangy vinegar sauce and 1 cup of orange marmalade, then reduce it down to thicken.

After about 40 minutes on the grill, pull the chops off when they reach around 124°F and let them rest for about 10 minutes.

Brush a light glaze on the chops before searing them on high heat.

Sear the chops on the grill for about 10-12 minutes, flipping them to achieve grill marks and an internal temperature of 145-150°F.

Remove the chops from the grill and let them rest before serving.
