Equipment

  • Pellet Smoker

Ingredients

  • 4 pieces bone-in pork chops 1 - 1/2 inch thick
  • pork chop seasoning
  • pork chop brine
  • salt and pepper , if not using brine

Instructions

  • Brine and let it rest in the fridge overnight.
  • Pre-smoke the smoker at 225 F.
  • Use your choice of seasoning, I personally prefer the Immaculatebites Creole Seasoning. 
  • Place the meat inside the smoker and start the cooking process.
  • Baste the pork chops with your choice of sauce as it cooks in the smoker.
  • You can take it out of the smoker once the meat's internal temperature reaches 145 F.
  • Rest the meat before cutting.
  • Serve and enjoy.

Using a Pellet Smoker

  • You will simply need to place the meats in a rack indirect to the heat source. This will make sure that your meat will cook evenly without one side burning.
  • Add a pan with half a cup of water to the smoking chamber to prevent it from drying out. This method also infuses the flavor of the wood chips in the turkey meat. (Personally, I think Hickory flavored wood is great for pork chops but feel free to mix and match.)
  • Close the lid to trap the flavorful smoke and the heat.

Using a Charcoal Grill

  • Place the hot charcoals on one extreme side of the grill.
  • Add a tin catch just below the grill so you can catch any juices that drip off.
  • Place the Pork Chop on the other side of the grill farthest from the coals and the water pan beside it.
  • Close the lid to start the smoking process.

Using an Electric Smoker

  • Pre-smoke the unit with the woodchips of your choice.
  • Once it reaches the desired temperature, place the water pan inside the lowest space inside the unit.
  • Place the Pork Chops in the racks and close the lid or door to start cooking it.
