Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Wood Fire

    Soak hickory wood chips in water for at least 30 minutes. Prepare a wood fire in your grill, allowing it to burn down until the coals are hot and ashed over.

  2. 2

    Season the Pork Chops

    Rub the pork chops with olive oil, and season generously with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and fresh rosemary on both sides.

  3. 3

    Grill the Pork Chops

    Place the seasoned pork chops directly over the hot coals. Grill for about 4-6 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).

  4. 4

    Add Hickory Flavor

    During the last few minutes of grilling, add the soaked hickory wood chips to the fire to create smoke and enhance the flavor.

  5. 5

    Rest and Serve

    Remove the pork chops from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your wood-fired pork chops!
