Ingredients

  • 2 pork chops bone in
  • tbsp Kosher salt
  • tbsp BBQ seasoning

Instructions

  • Trim away any excess fat or loose bits of pork from each pork chop.
  • Dry brine the pork chops by covering each side with Kosher salt, place on a baking sheet, and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.
  • After brining, remove any excess salt that was not absorbed by the pork chop, then season each one with BBQ seasoning.
  • Fire up the smoker to 250°F.
  • Smoke the chops until the internal temperature is 145°F. If smoking on a grill that has heat coming from the bottom, flip the pork chop once or twice during smoking so that each side cooks evenly.
  • Once the pork chops are cooked through, rest for 10 minutes before slicing against grain.

Notes

Wood - For this cook, we used a chunk of apple smoking wood to give a nice smoky flavor to the pork chops. Depending on the type of smoker you are using, you can use pellets or wood chips as well.
