Does anyone have experience grilling pork chops? I'm good with steaks, chicken and rubs but I've never really tackled pork chops. Any help is much appreciated.

I usually pan-sear them.
Defrost them to room temperature. Little salt pepper on both sides.
Pour some oil into a cast iron or SS frying pan. Enough to cover the bottom. Just make sure it's non-stick.(If you want a pan sauce)
Heat the oil until it just starts to smoke.
Then toss er in. Careful...and I don't recommend doing this over an open flame...it'll most likely splash hot oil all over the place. Use a pot lid or those wire screens to contain the spatter. A couple minutes on each side depending on thickness should be enough.
Then...if you really want to get fancy...you can make an awesome pan sauce with some red wine or sherry, cream, garlic, salt and pepper. All that black s*** left over will deglaze when you pour the wine over it.
I've never actually grilled pork chops though...

Thanks! Since my timeline was limited I just doused them with my chipotle-espresso rub and smoked them for 90min. They should be done in another 30. I'll definitely try that next time, the sauce sounds amazing.

I used some rib dry-rub on a few pork chops I made, just as an experiment; let them sit all night with the dry rub and then hot smoked them, which is basically grilling only with pieces of wood placed on top of the charcoal right before cooking. They were pretty good.
