Between Woodcutter and SmokeFever with their pork chops, I had a porkchop jones!

So I ran to the fridge and pulled out a piece of loin! Sliced off 4 chops about an 1" thick.


I built a my standard loin brine (Recipe below) and slipped 'em in. Thank Goodness for Ziploc!


24 hours later, patted dry, set under a fan to form a pellicle. I messed up and said how can I make these chops better? I just can't help myself. Its a genetic abnormality I guess. I look in the reefer and what do I see? Raw Cajun sausage! And it was pretty lean..... so no overabundance of grease.


I could slit a pocket and used the last of the left over sausage that I didn't stuff last week.........


 Look, home made thick sliced bacon! Wish you could see the pellicle, that's not oiled or greased! 


I found these also, might as well throw 'em in and smoke 'em too, Neighbors dog is my buddie!


Rubbed "em down with Kosher salt, cayenne, garlic, paprika, and a light coat of brown sugar.

In they go! Here I made the mistake....... <sighs>


I left vent fully open, pulled the re-loader, and left the door cracked so as to allow the humid air out and dry the meat. Simple mistake. But none the less so.

BTW I also tried those new charcoal pellets from Todd, they burned really nice just like hickory, mesquite or pecan pellets. Good mixture. Speaking of mixing pellets, I did this with charcoal over pecan.

135 degrees IT, pulled and thrown on a really hot grill.


Can you see the weird writing, I think Its Klingon for S. M. F. Com, but don't hold me to that.

Can't you see it??


OK, its time for the Bear-View


Its homemade stovetop Mac & Cheese, a big fresh tossed salad, and a <Takes a big breath>

Thank you Deuce, It could have been better, but it was pretty good even as made.

Neighbor's dog is a 300+ pound, 3 year old Rottweiler. He'll sit in his pen and whine when I am smoking....LOL

I would be smoking that dog anything he wanted if he was next door to me!! I sure would hate to upset him!!
 
Great idea! If there was any doubt that you are a pitmaster, this post ends it.

Yes, I definitely agree with Disco.  And not just a pit master, but an all-around splendid cook.  Thanks for sharing, Kevin.

BTW, made me blush a little with the pork chop jones comment.  However, I doubt there is anyone on this forum who doesn't share the same…um, sentiment!  ;-)

Thank ye Sir, Ginger just brightens up any taste. I have a ginger-ale carrot recipe that'll blow your mind.......

Thank you sir. So how's that ham doing? Making happy sounds yet?

Its pretty funny, I don't have a fence around the house just the barn and such. I have a hard time getting contractors, they knock at the door of my house and get back off the deck and stand by their vehicles. I ask why they can see he's penned, they are afraid I have one like him inside....LOL I'll have to get a picture, he easily back knock be back when he leans on me. He's a big ol weenie baby!

Its kind of just drowning there. I want to do something to it. I feel sorry for it.

Mine is just what's in the reefer, now yours takes research and study. But I thank you all the same. Who ever heard of Fermento?

 Seriously andouille is the only thing here even close to summer sausages.

Thank you M'lady, Its only because I have a bit of time these days to cook. I am telling ya, Woodcutter's and Smoke Fever's were so dang impressive though. These I cooked did not resolve that craving!  AND...... I can't believe you know Cheech and Chong. LOL The classics are always in good taste.

You bet!  And those pictures of bacon-wrapped, sausage-stuffed, smoked brined pork chops had me "dribbling" too!!

Looks great foam! Mac and cheese looks great too. I always go with my grandmas baked Mac and cheese... Gotta try the stove top variety.
Thank you sir.

I am like you, usually I go with baked, just every once in awhile something different is good. Course it didn't hurt it was fast and easy too....LOL
 
Good looking plate Mr Foam! Almost picked up a loin yesterday. After seeing this I might just have to go back and get one to try this out. Minus the sausage and bacon as I haven't made any (yet);-)
 
I loved this

I stuff a few things myself so cutting a pocket in a pork chop makes perfect sense to me

I think ginger is a great flavour. Its really universal bit like garlic but goes well in deserts as well .


My dogs want to know if there is some sort of canine exchange program
 
Nice chops! Good idea stuffing them with sausage. I don't know for sure but coriander might be a good addition to your brine, it looks like a good one!
 
 
Mmmm mmm mmm!  Another great post that gets the old gears turning in one's head. The possibilities! Thanks Foam!  -Rich

Thanks for the compliment, but it wasn't me, "I" got my inspiration from Woodcutter and Smoke Fever! Like I say, its not just helping and learning, its the inspiration you gather from others. Ain't Q-View Grrrrrrrrrrreat? And I have to tell you, mine was no where near as beautiful as theirs! Those Pork chops of Wood's, I have still got a yearning for! Those were beautiful!
