GAS GRILL-SMOKED PORK CHOPS
Steps:
- FOR THE CHOPS: Place soaked wood chips in shallow disposable aluminum pie plate and place plate on primary burner (burner that will remain on during barbecuing) and reposition cooking grate(s). Turn all burners to high, close lid, and heat until hot and chips are smoking, about 15 minutes. (If chips ignite, use water-filled spray bottle to extinguish.) Scrape cooking grate clean with grill brush. Leave primary burner on high and turn off other burner(s). While grill is heating, pat chops dry with paper towels. Using sharp knife, cut 2 slits about 1 inch apart through outer layer of fat and connective tissue to prevent buckling. Sprinkle entire surface of each chop with 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper. Place chops side by side, facing in same direction, on cutting board with curved rib bone facing down. Pass 2 skewers through loin muscle of each chop, close to bone, about 1 inch from each end. Once chops have been threaded onto skewers, pull apart to create 1-inch space between each. Place skewered chops, bone-side down, on cooler side of grill, over aluminum pan. Cover grill and cook until instant-read thermometer inserted into center of pork chop, but away from any bone, registers 110 degrees, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove skewers from chops; tip chops onto flat side and brush surface with 1 tablespoon sauce. Transfer chops, sauce-side down, to hotter parts of grill (2 on each side) and cook, covered, until browned, 4 to 7 minutes. Brush top of each chop with 1 tablespoon sauce; flip and continue to cook on second side until browned and instant-read thermometer inserted into center of pork chop, but away from any bone, registers 140 to 145 degrees, 4 to 7 minutes longer. Remove chops from grill and allow to rest, tented with foil, 5 minutes. Serve, passing ½ cup reserved sauce separately.
BEST GAS GRILL-SMOKED PORK CHOPS
From Cook's Illustrated (July 2009). Buy chops of the same thickness so they will cook uniformly. Omit sprinkling with salt in step 3 if you use enhanced pork instead of natural pork. Use the large holes on a box grater to grate the onions. Any variety of chip will work, except mesquite. You will need a 9x13-inch disposible cake pan.

SMOKY GRILLED PORK CHOPS
These thick pork chops have a smoky flavor, are very moist and tender, and the rub is easy to make. A family favorite, always requested at BBQs. I like to serve these chops with loaded baked potatoes and a garden salad.

GRILLED PORK CHOPS WITH SMOKED PAPRIKA RUB
A lot of purchased barbecue sauces are really high in sugar. If you need to watch the amount of sugar in your diet, try grilling pork chops with this flavorful rub, instead. The rub goes on in advance so the flavors can penetrate the chops.

Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops: Select bone-in pork chops that are at least 1-inch thick. This will help them stay moist during the smoking process.
- Prepare the smoker: Preheat your gas grill to 225°F (107°C). If you are using a charcoal smoker, light the coals and let them burn until they are covered in ash.
- Season the pork chops: Rub the pork chops with a mixture of salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, chili powder, or cumin.
- Smoke the pork chops: Place the pork chops on the smoker grate and close the lid. Smoke the pork chops for 1-2 hours, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C). If you want smokier flavor, you can smoke the pork chops for longer.
- Rest the pork chops: Once the pork chops are done smoking, remove them from the smoker and let them rest for 10 minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat.
