    The chops can be any thickness you like. You are cooking to temperature not really by time. With a pellet grill and GrillGrates you almost always want your thermostat as hot as it will go.

    How thick are the chops, and what temperature (degrees Fahrenheit) does he consider “medium high heat”?

    What should the temperature be on a pellet smoker or grate temperature?
