Ingredients
- 4 bone-in pork chops 1-inch thick
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional for a hint of heat
Instructions
- Remove the pork chops from the fridge 30 minutes before cooking to allow them to reach room temperature.
- Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to help the rub adhere better.
- Mix brown sugar, smoked paprika, garlic powder, kosher salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using) in a small bowl.
- Brush both sides of each pork chop with melted butter.
- Sprinkle the rub generously over the pork chops, pressing it into the meat for even coverage.
- Preheat your smoker to 250°F (121°C) for a slightly faster cooking time and deeper flavor.
- Add applewood or pecan wood chips to infuse a rich, smoky aroma.
- Place the pork chops on the smoker rack, leaving space between them for even cooking.
- Smoke for 75-90 minutes, depending on their thickness, until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
- Remove the pork chops from the smoker and let them rest for 5-10 minutes to lock in juices. Serve with your favorite sides like coleslaw or grilled vegetables.
