Recipe Tips
This recipe works best with thick cut, bone in pork chops. If you use thin cut or boneless, reduce the smoking time as noted in the recipe.If you don’t want to use the homemade seasoning, just sprinkle on your favorite seasoning mix.I prefer them without BBQ sauce, but if you want to add some, just brush it on before you do the reverse sear (step #6).Don’t overcook your pork chops! They will turn out rubbery and tough. Use an instant read thermometer and pull them when they reach an internal temp of 140° in the thickest section.
Which Traeger Pellets To Use For Smoked Pork Chops
Really any blend of pellets will work for this recipe, but my favorites are:
Hickory – More of a bold, assertive flavor that pairs well with the homemade pork chop seasoning.Apple – Have a subtle touch of fruitiness that goes well any pork.Cherry – A hearty pellet that stands up to the flavor of any meat and is great for grilling.
