COLD SMOKED MAPLE-BALSAMIC GLAZED PORK CHOPS
Cold smoking is a little safer and less smoky for indoor grilling. You can make your own by using disposable aluminum pans or a heavy duty roasting and a baking rack...Or you can purchase an electric (such as Rival KC Electric Smoker) tabletop smoker for home use.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Remove the wood chips from the water and spread evenly in the bottom of a roasting pan. Cover the top tightly with aluminum foil. Put in the oven until the chips get hot and begin to smoke, about 15 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and remove the foil from the pan. Put a baking rack inside the pan and arrange the chops on top of the rack, leaving a few inches of space between each one. Quickly cover with the foil again and let sit on your kitchen counter for 10 to 15 minutes.
- While the pork chops are smoking, put the vinegar in a small pan over high heat and cook until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the maple syrup, allspice, and salt and pepper, to taste. Let cool slightly.
- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the ridges with some of the canola oil. Brush the chops on both sides with some of the glaze and season with salt and pepper. Grill on both sides, brushing with more of the glaze, until golden brown and slightly charred and cooked to medium doneness, about 7 minutes per side. Remove from the grill, loosely tent and let rest for 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and serve.

Tips:
- Choose the right pork chops: Look for bone-in pork chops that are at least 1 inch thick. This will ensure that they stay juicy and flavorful during the smoking process.
- Prepare the pork chops: Before smoking, pat the pork chops dry with paper towels and season them with salt, pepper, and your favorite spices. You can also add a rub or marinade to the pork chops for extra flavor.
- Set up the smoker: Preheat your smoker to 225 degrees Fahrenheit. If you are using a charcoal smoker, add a few chunks of wood chips to the coals for added flavor.
- Smoke the pork chops: Place the pork chops on the smoker grate and cook for 1-2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145 degrees Fahrenheit. Baste the pork chops with maple glaze every 30 minutes to keep them moist.
- Let the pork chops rest: Once the pork chops are cooked, remove them from the smoker and let them rest for 10 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
Conclusion:
Smoked pork chops with maple glaze are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for any occasion. By following these tips, you can ensure that your pork chops turn out perfectly every time. So fire up your smoker and give this recipe a try!
