Mojo Pork Chops Recipe
Mojo is another word for magic and my buddy Jay couldn’t have captured it any better with his bbq rub. I’m using his BBQ Magic Rub on some “Mojo Pork Chops” using some Thick Cut Pork Chops for this recipe. Whenever I buy chops for the grill, I look for “ribeye” chops. These are cut from the front portion of the pork loin and have that tender spinalis muscle wrapping around the eye of the loin.

I’m going to try your Mojo Chops but I need to ask a dumb question. How are you setting the drum up for indirect cooking.
