Preheat the Traeger Timberline grill to 500°F (260°C).

Prepare seasoned flour by mixing all-purpose flour with a little bit of Dots pretzel rub.

In a bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 2 tablespoons of water to create an egg wash.

Place pretzels in a heavy-duty ziplock bag and crush them into small pieces, about the size of rice.

Coat each pork chop in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess flour.

Dip the floured pork chop into the egg wash, ensuring it's fully coated.

Press the egg-coated pork chop into the crushed pretzel mixture, ensuring it adheres well.

Let the breaded pork chops sit for a minute to allow the flour to activate and help the pretzels stick.

Heat a cast iron skillet on the Traeger grill and add a little olive oil to prevent sticking.

Place the breaded pork chops in the hot cast iron skillet and sear for about 3-5 minutes on one side until a crust forms.

Flip the pork chops and sear for another 3-5 minutes until golden brown.

Check for doneness and ensure the pork reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
