Place brine ingredients in a non-reactive large saucepan and bring to a boil. Stir the brine to ensure that salt, sugar, and maple syrup have dissolved. Turn off the heat and let the brine cool. Refigerate the brine in a non-reactive container. Add the prok chope to the brine and allow to soak for at least 3 hours but no more than 8 hours.

Combine Glaze ingredients and set aside.

Prepare a grill with both hot and medium surfaces. Covered grills work best.

Place pork chops on the hot portion of the grill and sear for 4-5 mins on each side, closing grill cover. Transfer chops to the medium hot portion of the grill and cook for an additional 4-5 mins on each side with grill covered. Then brush the chops with the glaze on both sides and grill an additional 15-30 secs on each side.
