    Smoked this thick-cut pork chop on my offset at 250–275° with pecan until it hit 140° internal.

    Pulled and rested briefly while I brought the Weber up hot for the sear.

    Finished direct over the coals to 145° internal, rested 10 minutes, then brushed lightly with a mustard-based sauce while it was still warm.

    Juicy all the way through with just a little char on the outside.

    Would probably push the sear slightly harder next time for a bit more crust.

    Nice looking. Similar to what I do other than the sauce at end. I just use spg and mesquite wood.

    Enjoy

    Amazing, looks just like the one you did a month ago.

    I’m jealous of everyone who gets to shop at HEB. Can’t find any thick pork chops worth shit where I live at.

    I rarely eat pork, but I would devour that in seconds

    Even a simple pork chop from him is better than mine.

    Thick cut smoked chops are one of my favorites! That reverse sear really does them justice.

    Hands down one of my favorite cuts to smoke, but always gotta go bone in. Looks great.

    Man, chops with a mustard sauce sound so freaking good

    Hoss, you’re doing great with the meats. You have that dialed in.

    Have you thought about making your own sauces and spices?

    The first time I actually looked at the ingredients on the bottle of my store bought sauces and spices I was like “you know what, half this shit doesnt even belong here. I’ll make my own”

    I haven’t looked back once.
