Pork Chops on the Big Easy SRG

This was the very first cook on the grill of the Big Easy SRG. It really got HOT! 660°! Might have to try to sear a steak. I dry brined them with salt. It was too much. I will skip this next time. I pulled them and let them sit out an hour before cooking. That should...
