Ingredients
  

Pork Chops and Brine
  • 4 double-cut bone-in pork chops 1 ¾ to 2" thick, about 2 pounds each
  • ⅔ cup coarse salt
  • ⅓ cup sugar
  • 1 qt hot water
  • 1 qt cold iced water
  • Vegetable oil spray
Rub
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • ¼ cup chili powder
  • 2 tbs coarse salt
  • 1 tbs paprika

Equipment

  • Smoker

Method
 

  1. Place the pork chops in a baking dish or tub. Combine brine ingredients in a large mixing bowl and add hot water. Stir until dissolved. Add cold water with a little ice and stir until ice dissolves and brine is at room temperature. Pour brine over the pork chops. Cover and refrigerate for six hours.
  2. Mix the rub ingredients and start the smoker.
  3. Setup the smoker to cook at 225°F. Rinse the pork chops and pat dry. Place the pork chops in the smoker over indirect heat for about 1 ½ - 2 hours until they reach an internal temperature of 145.
  4. Remove the pork chops, cover them with foil and let them rest 10 minutes, Setup the smoker for direct heat at 400-450°F (or move to a gas grill like I did). Generously sprinkle the chops with the seasoning rub and grill for a minute or two each side. Rotate to get good grill marks. Make sure to grill the sides as well. These are awesome. Enjoy!
