Smoked up half a Costco package of thick loin chops.
4hr brine
Mustard and house rub (br sugar, paprika, garlic, onion, lemon pepper, cayenne)
225F w/ 2oz cherry wood
1h55m I pulled them off the smoker at 146 internal. 15m rest.
Verdict...
Juicy, very good chops. Could use a little more smoke, but that's me being nit-picky.
Rest of the meal was cream spinach and cheesy cauliflower. Wife tells me to pretend its potatoes, but trust me, they aint no potatoes.
Will do the other 4 chops this week. I want to slice a pocket opening in one end of them and put some garlic butter in there, tie or toothpick them shut. Probably add 1oz of hickory to up the smoke.
