I made BBQ pork chops in a crock pot recently and they came out dry. Tips for making again?

I used four extra thick chops and almost a whole bottle of bbq sauce and some apple juice, cooked on low for about eight hours in an oval crock pot and they came out REALLY dry. Should I cook them for less time? Thanks! Oh and I live in Arizona, so the weather is pretty hot here!I made BBQ pork chops in a crock pot recently and they came out dry. Tips for making again?
Add about 2 inches of water before the bottle of bbq. 8 hours may also have been a bit too long make sure you cook on low when leaving it for that long.
Let me think. ... How's about trying 2 extra thick pork chops and more water. To be precise, the amount of water that would be displaced by the 2 pork chops that would have been cook with the other 2 pork chops. Also,... try chosing pork chops with more "marbling" (the fat between the muscles), so that you would be cooking with a greater ratio of Fat to Muscles proportionality. Adding 1 Tablespoons of Vinegar would make it softer, though more sour. So if you add 1 Tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar, also add 1 Tablespoons of Sugar. - Good luck !I made BBQ pork chops in a crock pot recently and they came out dry. Tips for making again?
this may be the culprit, maybe you lifted up the lid too much, just let it sit there, and do not lift the lid, it lets all the moisture out that was accumilating, and it has to start over, eventually drying it out
Brine the chops in salt and water for at least 3 or 4 hours or overnight, then prepare for the crock.I made BBQ pork chops in a crock pot recently and they came out dry. Tips for making again?
Next time you should either cook them for less time, or add water instead of apple juice. Either way, they shouldn't come out so dry...
