Grilled Thick Cut Pork Chops w/Apple Butter BBQ Sauce

What is not to love about thick bone-in pork chops.  My sister picked up the apple butter bbq sauce for me in Ellijay.  I sounds a little strange, but it actually has a very good flavor

Ingredients:
3/4 cup lightly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup kosher salt
10 cloves garlic, minced
4 bay leaves, crushed
3 tablespoons whole black peppercorns, crushed
2 bone-in or boneless 12-oz pork chops, 1 1/2 inches thick

In bowl or measuring cup, dissolve sugar and salt in 2 cups hot water.

Add garlic, bay leaves, peppercorns, and 4 more cups cold water, cool mixture to room
temperature.

Pour mixture in gallon size freezer bag.

Add pork chops, then seal bag, pressing out as much air as possible, refrigerate until fully seasoned,
about 2-3 hours.

 
Remove chops from brine, rinse and dry thoroughly with paper towels.

Season with favorite dry rub.
 

Grill over indirect heat at 300° about 40 minutes turning occasionally.  During the last 10 minutes I
brushed the ribs twice with apple butter bbq sauce
