1
Get the water boiling. Add the garlic (just crush it a little and throw it in there - don't even worry about removing the paper or anything) Squeeze 1 lemon in there and drop in the peel too.
2
While the water is getting hot prep the choke. First cut the pointy tops off the leaves. Trim away the tough outer leaves - now, we LIKE eating the leaves so we leave some. If you don't enjoy that part, chop 'em off. Peel the stem. Cut the choke in half and use a spoon to remove the fuzzy stuff and the inner leaves. Put the artichoke in the boiling water and boil until just tender, about 8-10 minutes.
3
Meanwhile heat the grill to hot and throw the wood chips on.
4
Drain the choke and drizzle it with a good amount of olive oil and grind some pepper over. Head out to the grill - put it on the grill cut side down - beware of olive-oil related flare ups. Grill for just a couple minutes until it starts to get some good marking, then flip and grill them leaf side down.

To serve we uncermoniously plopped them on a cutting board, squeezed a bit more lemon on them, and sat on the back porch and ate them up - easy cleanup!!
