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

Took the chops out of the bring to let the dry for a bit. Now they are rubbed with my special rub

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.

How do you like the Thermapen?

 

[jeremy5431]

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.
