Looking for a marinade for Pork Chops
We like the thick pork chops from Costco. I'm looking for some new ideas as to a marinade, etc. I will be grilling them on my Weber gas bbq. TIA

All of these suggestions seem to help make the mostly tasteless and tough pork that is available now. What should I look for in selecting a great cut of pork?
Same as beef, the fat makes them tender and holds the flavor. For chops I look for ones that aren't trimmed, but that can be impossible at times. It's really not that modern pork is tasteless, it's that unknowing shoppers want it trimmed so they can believe they aren't paying for the fat. Of course that's not true, they not only pay for the fat they pay for the trimming!
If you know of a market with a counter ask for untrimmed center cut chops and have them cut to your thickness. Cook them with all the fat on, you don't have to eat it. You can mimic the Filet Mignon and wrap in bacon.
