Picked up some pork loin chops and tender quick to do a little experimenting...

1) What would you recommend for curing time?
2) What would you recommend for cooking time?

According to Morton's Meat Curing Guide they say one tablespoon of cure per lb of chops. Rub thoroughly into chops. Place into food grade plastic bag and refrigerate for 1-2 hours. Before cooking, rinse chops under running water to remove excess salt. Sorry but the recipe I am looking at says to brown in a skillet for smoking I think I'd smoke to an internal of 160

I cured them for about 3 hours and I smoked up about 2.5 hours. I just finished them off yesterday. Enjoy!
