Canola oil is a budget-friendly option.

Preheat an outdoor grill to high heat (450 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit).

Drizzle olive oil onto each pork chop and rub it into the top, sides, and bottom.

In a bowl, combine 2 teaspoons of salt, 1 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1 teaspoon of smoked paprika.

Sprinkle the seasoning mixture generously over the pork chops and rub it in.

Place the pork chops on the grill grates to sear them.

Close the lid and sear for 2-3 minutes on one side.

Flip the chops and sear for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.

Turn the grill heat to medium and move the chops to the upper rack to finish cooking over indirect heat.

Alternatively, turn off the flame on one half of the grill and move the chops to that side, leaving the flame on the other side for indirect heat.

Cook until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit, using a meat thermometer for accuracy.
