You could keep your wood chips and bbq brush etc. down there. Overall a good bbq. Plus, it's a Canadian company.

It's also murderously easy to get parts for them. Rouge, you can always go to BBQs Galore and ask them about stuff - their prices are competitive and they're really knowledgeable and friendly. At the very least, get the BBQ cover there - they're very good quality and a very good price.

Anyone have a good beef jerky marinade. I use a dehydrator to cook it if that makes a difference. As a side not Safeway has their sirloin roasts 50% off until tomorrow.

I bit the bullet and bought pork for the first time in a year (yay costco 5$ off coupon)
How does one cook pork chops on the BBQ - what temp and how long per side etc? Thanks.

Cook the pork chop the same way you would cook a steak. Medium-High temperature on your grill. Depending on how "done" you like it, you want to aim for the 145-160 degrees internal temperature. The trichinosis parasite (very, very, rare these days) dies at 137 degrees. If you want medium-rare, cook it until the center is a nice rosy color. If you want medium, cook it until the moment the last bit of pink disappears. I usually go by touch, but if you're feeling apprehensive either take the temperature or make a small incision at the thickest part to check if it's done. Make sure to let it rest for 5-10 minutes before digging in. There's nothing worse than a dry pork chop.
As for the trichinosis parasite, apparently the only people that get it nowadays are the people that eat raw bear meat. Pork is a very clean meat, way different than the pork that our parents grew up eating.

The only meat I eat medium rare is steak. Pork is all medium - well done. Thanks.

You're looking for the 155-160 degree temperature range, or firm to the touch, or white flesh throughout.

Pork chops are very lean nowadays and cook/dry out fast. Plus the fact that they are normally cut very thin, they won't take long.
Why don't you normally buy pork?

The Costco chops are thick cut for sure, and as long as you watch them you will have no problem with them drying out. You don't need to cook them well-done. Just go for a medium-well and you are going to be fine.
I prefer to stuff my pork chops, but even just plain with a little spice they are awesome. I also like to grill up some apple slices when I got that route and make a sauce that for the apples. It takes a few extra minutes, but adds so much to your meal to have the grilled apples with the pork chops!

I remember those now, ultra lean boneless center loin chops.
The Costco part went right over my head, my MIL would cook those in gravy, nice.

Seeing how it's April 8th already, I figured it was time to give this thread a bump. I'm going to get the smoker out tomorrow and do my first BBQ of the year.
Co-op has beef ribs on sale right now, so I went out yesterday and got a bunch of those, then I'm going to head over to Costco today and pick up a pork shoulder to make some pulled pork with. Forecast only shows a high of 5 degrees tomorrow, but honestly it'll be worth it.
Anyone else kicked off the bbq season yet?

Lucky dog. I did some sporadic grilling through the winter, either when the snow had melted a bit or when I simply had to have some steak, but now I'm ready to kick it into high gear!

The AAA rib eye from Costco is such a beautiful cut of meat. Perfect marbling and they cut them nice and thick.
My favorite cut of beef would have to be filet mignon though, followed closely by a thick cut T-bone.

It's like choosing a favorite child.....
In order:
1. Strip Sirloin, thick cut with 1/4" of fat left on.
2. Rib Eye. The perfect "Big Steak Meal" cut of beef.
3. Short Ribs.
