When ready to cook, set Traeger temperature to 180℉ and preheat, lid closed for 15 minutes.2
Season the pork chops liberally with Traeger Pork & Poultry Rub.3
Place directly on the grill grate and smoke for 30 to 40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 130℉ when taken with an instant read thermometer.4
Remove chops from the grill and let rest for 10 minutes.5
Increase the grill temperature to 500°F and place a cast iron pan directly on the grill grate to preheat for about 10 minutes while the pork chops are resting.6
Place the butter and herb sprigs in the cast iron pan. When the butter is hot, place the pork chops in the pan. Sear on both sides for 3 to 4 minutes or until the exterior is browned and the internal temperature registers 140℉ in the thickest part of the chop.7
Remove chops from pan and let rest 5 minutes; the internal temperature will rise to a finished temperature of 145℉. Enjoy!
