It's going to be 40 degrees tomorrow so I thought I would make some smoked chops. I bought 3 bone in thick cut chops and put them in a cure/brine.

Maple syrup
Broken sugar
K salt
Juniper berries
Thyme
Water

Staring the smoker in 1.5 hours. I'm going to smoke them at 225 till they reach 130 or an hour to an hour and a half. Then reverse sear them.

I used an apple cider glaze at the end... They were a bit on the done side but still juicy. Nice smoke ring too. Next time I'm not sure if I would let them rest while I started started another chimney of coals.

So far I like it. It was my first time using it. The one thing I noticed was the tip didn't have the same taper as my old thermometer, so I had it push it in the meat more. I like how quick and it reads the temp. I can't wait to try using it on steaks and the upcoming turkey.
