What’s the best cut of meat for grilled pork chops?

Pork chops come in four different cuts. Most preferred are center cut ribs.

Ribs: This is the most desirable pork chop. It comes from the rib section (hence the name) with a large bone on one side. The meat was tender and had a nice pork flavor.
Far cut: This pork chop has a T-bone in the middle. It has two different meats on it, one tenderloin and the other tenderloin. The two types of meat cook at different rates, making them more difficult to cut.
Boneless Short Ribs: This is the leanest pork. This cut of meat can easily be overcooked and dried out because it has very little fat, connective tissue, and doesn’t have any bones. This is the most common cut of pork chops in the US, but it’s certainly suboptimal because it’s lean and can easily be overcooked.
Shoulder cut: This is the least popular cut of pork chops and is not commonly found in American grocery stores. They have a lot of flavor, but also a lot of gristle and bone. These ribs are best braised.

What kind of pork chops should I buy for my grill?

Bone-in pork chops are best for grilling. You want to buy pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick for your grill. If you don’t see anything to buy, you should ask at the meat counter and they can cut the meat for you. Call for 1 1/2 to 2-inch bone-in center-cut rib or loin chops. Any of these are great options for grilling.
