    While the grill is preheating, mix together the butter, thyme leaves, garlic, and black pepper in a small bowl. Rub some of the compound butter all over the pork chops, reserving the remaining butter for serving.

    • 1 Clove Garlic, minced

    • 1 Teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper

    Place the chops directly on the outer edges of the grill grates (for the most direct heat). Insert the probe horizontally into the center of a chop, avoiding the bone. Close the lid and cook, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F, about 10 minutes total.
