Tips for smoking pork steaks.........help needed

[mheimann]

There is a small cook off this summer in a small town near me, and they only judge pork steaks.  I am looking for some tips on how to smoke these.  I can grill the heck out of them, but smoking is different.  What thickness should i get, rub ideas, temps, and time?????

Ive got some time before comp, but i want to perfect my cook.

The best pork steaks i smoked were rubbed on one side...smoked with hickory at 225-235 for two hours. Foiled for a hour with a splash of apple juice. Take out of foil and return to smoker for 15 minutes to firm up a bit then serve.
