• Remove pork chops from marinade, reserving the extra marinade.
• Light charcoals in the grill and add several bags of fall leaves throughout getting the coals ready for grilling.
• Place pork chops on the grill when the coals are about halfway ashed over. Baste pork chops with marinade and flip pork chops.
