For a deeper smoke flavor, consider brining the pork chops for 2-4 hours before applying the rub. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the pork chops reach the desired internal temperature. Experiment with different wood chips to find your favorite smoky flavor profile. Serve with your favorite sides, such as grilled vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Smoker: Preheat your smoker to a steady 250°F (120°C). Add your choice of wood chips (oak, apple, or hickory are excellent) according to the smoker's instructions. (Approximately 15 minutes)
02
StepCraft the Spice Rub: In a small bowl, meticulously combine the kosher salt, light brown sugar, black pepper, paprika, ground mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano. Ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed. (Approximately 5 minutes)
03
StepSeason the Pork Chops: Generously sprinkle the spice rub over both sides of each pork chop. Gently massage the rub into the meat to ensure maximum flavor penetration. (Approximately 10 minutes)
04
StepSmoke to Perfection: Arrange the seasoned pork chops, ensuring they are not stacked, on the smoker grate. Smoke for approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C) for medium doneness. (Approximately 2 hours 30 minutes)
05
StepRest and Serve: Once smoked, remove the pork chops from the smoker and allow them to rest for 10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chop. (Approximately 10 minutes)
