Brining is a good way to add moisture to any meat and is particularly good with pork specially with thicker cuts of meat which are preferred for brining rather than thinner cuts. Brine is a salt water mixture (about 1 tablespoon table salt to a cup of water) that gets soaked up by meat. Brining thick cut pork chops should take 2 to 4 hours; when brining do not use any other salt-based ingredient.
Marinades are chosen for thinner chops. Marinades cannot sink into meat like brine will but it provides a protective layer to the meat. A good example of a simple marinade is Italian Dressing which contains oil, vinegar and water as well as herbs and spices. Thin chops can be acceptably marinated in 30 minutes. The marinade will tenderize the meat and shield it from the very strong heat of the grill.
An alternate to the brines and marinades is a dry rub which is apportioned by seasoning the top of your chops with herbs and spice (or salt and pepper). This will not add moisture or help to tenderize the chops but it will create a lot of flavor. Brine can be put together with dry rub, but see that there is no salt in the dry rub.
Thin chops should be grilled hot and fast over an intense heat, flipping as little as possible. Preheat the grill to the most immense temperature. Place the chops on the grill and lock the lid for one minute. Unlock the lid and turn the chops 45 degrees without flipping. Close the lid for another minute. Flip the chops over and close the lid again. After a minute rotate the chops 45 degrees and finish off. Cooking time is approximately 5 minutes.
Thick chops will have need of a reduced heat to get them cooked without drying them out. Preheat to highest temperature grill. Place the chops on the grill and close the lid. After one minute open the grill and turn the chops. Close the lid for one minute. Now reduce the heat on the grill to medium. Rotate the chops and let them cook for about 3 more minutes with the lid down. Turn the chops over and carry on cooking for about 4 more minutes. Turn your grill down to its minimum setting.
Once the chops are cooked as preferred, remove and place them on a plate and cover with aluminum foil for 5 to 10 minutes to let them rest to allow the juice to redistribute in the meat.
