One of the nice things about the mini-wsm is that you can get some high temps at the upper cooking grate and still have it be indirect. For this smoke I did not use a diffuser of any sorts. I ran the smoker right around 350°-365°.

Since our friend C-Farmer's son is allergic to eggs I wanted to point out that this recipe that normally calls for eggs and bread crumbs can be done with out either. In fact when I bread fish this is the basic way that I do it. SO on with the show!

I had some nice thick chops defrosting. By the time the chops were thawed I really didn't want to smoke big thick chops. So I pounded them down to about 1/2". Yes I could've just butterflied the chops but brute force is fun!

Fired up the mini with Lump and apple. Ran it at 350°-365°. No Diffuser


Started with this, then pounded it flat!

 
Step 1: dredge the flatten chop in a seasoned flour. Mine had salt, pepper, garlic, and chipotle.

Step 2: Quick dip in water

Step 3: Press both sides into seasoned bread crumbs (use seasoned cornmeal if you need to avoid eggs. This is what I use for fish.) I used the same seasoning in the bread crumbs that I used in the flour.

Step 4: place into 350° smoker. Cook on each side 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.





ENJOY!!!!
 
 
Looks good Case!   I didn't think about eggs bread but panco would work. 
Thanks Keith!

Panko is more the process of making the crumbs rather than the ingredients. Here's a cool videoabout Panko Prodcution.



Believe it or not there are a few types of panko that have eggs and dairy in them! Got my butt chewed once by a vegan for trying to force animal products on them! So if it doesnt say "vegan" it may contain eggs and dairy.

Quick question - is that a piece of carrot on the left?
 
I am sorry I missed this until now. I will have to try those when I get my mini built. Thanks for the idea, Case.

Thanks Disco! Can't wait to see your new Mini! My third one is on hold until I can locally source a tamale pot. The store that had them quit carrying them, Booo!!!

I had to order one through Ebay and, with the border issues, it is taking longer than an ice age.

Better hope the border inspector isn't into smoking and know's what a mini-wsm is! I here they're into confiscating Pot....
