Bone-In Pork Chops on Cast Iron: Fine Dining on a Budget!
Beef prices are through the roof… so I put thick-cut pork chops to the test—and honestly, they might be the smarter move right now.
In this cook, I’m grilling up 2-inch thick, bone-in pork chops on the Weber Kettle using B&B charcoal, and the results speak for themselves: incredible flavor, perfect doneness, and a serious money-saving alternative to steak.
I also walk through how to dry brine pork chops the right way so you get better seasoning, better texture, and juicier meat every time.
And here’s where things really get interesting—I’m using Malory cast-iron grates. These things are heavy, built like a tank, and made right here in the USA. I break down why cast iron is such a game changer when it comes to grilling:
• Better heat retention
• More even cooking across the entire grate
• And that deep, steakhouse-quality sear you just can’t fake
Total cook time? About 10 minutes.

If you’re looking to stretch your dollar without sacrificing quality—or just want to step up your grilling game—this one’s worth your time.

Be honest… when was the last time you bought steaks and didn’t feel it in your wallet? 🥩💸
These 2” thick pork chops cooked in about 10 minutes and cost a fraction of what steak would—and they absolutely delivered.
If you try this, let me know:
👉 Are you sticking with steak, or making the switch to pork chops for a while?
And if you’ve never used cast iron grates before… this might be your sign. That sear is no joke.
Appreciate you all being here!
Up here in Canada we need a mortgage to buy steak. Think I'll get a calf, fatten it up over the summer then butcher it in the fall and become a millionaire by selling the beef from it.
Great video! 🔥🔥🔥
Pork chops are grossly underrated. They’re soooo good. Chops and pork tenderloin have become staples in our family with the beef prices being outrageous.
