For a charcoal grill: Grill chops on rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals for 12-15 minutes or until chops are done, turning once halfway through grilling.

I do the crockpot version: I marinade the meat then dump it in the crockpot and let it cook all day long.

I use a roast or boneless ribs.
