Ingredients:  
4 bone-in pork rib chops (3/4 to 1-inch thick)
2–1/2 to 3 tbsps. Smoky BBQ Rub

For the brine:
4 cups water, divided
4 tbsps. kosher salt
1/2 cup sugar
2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
Directions:
Directions:
Combine 2 cups of water. salt and sugar in saucepan over medium-high heat, stir until salt and sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups of cold water along with the garlic. Set aside. Once brine has cooled completely, pour it into a large, heavy-duty zip-top bag and add the pork chops. Remove as much air as possible and seal tightly. Refrigerate the chops for 1 hour, turning the bag over after 30 minutes to ensure even brining. Preheat grill to medium-high heat. Remove the chops from the brine and pat them dry on both sides with paper towels. Discard the brine. If desired, sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of the Smoky BBQ Rub on each side of the chops and rub it into the meat with the back of a spoon. Alternately, you can rub them with a little olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and some freshly ground black pepper. Because of the salt in the brine you'll want to be sure to go easy when seasoning the outside of the meat. Oil the grill grates and add the chops. Grill for 4 minutes on the first side, turn and continue grilling until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes additional. Allow the chops to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
