Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces bone-in pork chops
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup barbecue sauce
- 0.25 cup water
Instructions
Preheat your smoker or grill to 225°F (107°C). If using a grill, set it up for indirect cooking and add wood chips for smoking.
Pat the pork chops dry with paper towels to help the rub adhere.
In a small bowl, mix smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, brown sugar, salt, and black pepper to create the seasoning rub.
Rub the pork chops evenly on both sides with the olive oil, then generously sprinkle the seasoning mix over them, pressing it into the meat to coat well.
Place the pork chops on the smoker or grill, ensuring they are not directly above the heat source. Close the lid and smoke for about 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135°F (57°C).
While the pork chops are smoking, mix the barbecue sauce and water in a small saucepan. Heat over low heat until warm, stirring occasionally.
After 30 minutes, brush each pork chop generously with the warm barbecue sauce mixture. Close the lid and continue smoking for an additional 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F (63°C).
Remove the pork chops from the smoker and let them rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to distribute evenly.
Serve the smoked pork chops hot, with extra barbecue sauce on the side if desired.
