Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Bone-in pork chops
- 0.5 cups Maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your smoker or grill to 225°F (107°C) and prepare it for indirect heat smoking. Add your choice of wood chips (apple, hickory, or maple wood work great).
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and evenly coat them with olive oil. Sprinkle both sides with smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, rubbing it in gently.
Place the seasoned pork chops on the smoker grate and close the lid. Smoke the chops at 225°F for 30 minutes to allow them to absorb the smoky flavor.
While the pork chops smoke, prepare the maple glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, and soy sauce until smooth.
After 30 minutes, use a brush to generously coat one side of each pork chop with the maple glaze. Close the lid and smoke for another 5 minutes.
Flip the pork chops and glaze the other side. Smoke for an additional 5 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the pork reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the smoker and let them rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute.
Serve the smoked pork chops warm, drizzling with any remaining glaze, and pair with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
