Maple-Cranberry Grilled Pork Chops

Just a few thoughts; my thinner cuts of pork loin chops came out better than the center cut thick pork chops. It's probably because I estimated the cooking time more precisely on the thinner cuts.

First, made a dry rub of salt, pepper, all-spice, curry, and cayenne pepper.

Then, made a marinade of freshly squeezed lime juice + orange juice, cranberry jelly, pomegranate juice, salt/pepper, maple syrup, honey, Grand Marnier. After cooking both side of the pork for about 3-4 minutes on medium-high (or above 160 degrees F on the meat thermometer), turn heat to low, and brush both sides of pork with marinade. Grill a few minutes longer. I maintain the internal grill temperature (check the mounted thermometer if you have one) around the 240-260 degrees F range.
