Servings: 4 servings
Calories: 410kcal
Ingredients
- 4 bone-in pork chops or boneless pork chops (at least 1-inch thick)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 tablespoons pork rub (homemade or store-bought)
Pork Dry Rub
- 2 teaspoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon paprika or smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ½ teaspoon dry mustard powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your pellet grill or smoker to 250℉.
- Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels, then brush both sides with olive oil.
- Mix the pork rub ingredients together and coat the pork chops generously on all sides.
- Place the pork chops directly on the grill grates, leaving a little space between each one. Smoke for 30 minutes, flip, then continue smoking for another 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
- Remove the pork chops from the smoker and let rest for 5 minutes.
- Serve with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
Notes
- Use pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick. Thicker pork chops will stay juicier during the smoking process.
- Leave space between the chops.
- Resist opening the lid too often.
- Apple, cherry, pecan, or hickory pellets all work well.
- I've tested this recipe on my Pit Boss pellet grill, Traeger Ironwood, and Masterbuilt electric smoker with consistently juicy results.
