Ingredients
  

  • 3-4 ~2lbs thick cut pork chops, at least 1 inch thick
  • 1/2 cup apple juice
  • 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 1 sprig fresh rosemary or thyme
  • 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper
  • 2 tbsp seasoning rub with salt

Instructions
 

  • Mix the ingredients, aside from the seasoning rub, and marinate the pork chops overnight. Take the pork chops out of the refrigerator 15 minutes before cooking. Apply any desired rub at the time, or just a sprinkle of Kosher salt.
  • Preheat your smoker and add water to it. Aim for a cooking temperature of around 225 degrees F. Add your favorite smoking wood chips or pellets, giving the smoker about 15 minutes to fill up.
  • Cook the pork chops for 90 minutes to 2 hours. Check the chops and take them out of the smoker when they’re at 145 degrees F in the center. Bring the smoker up to 450 degrees F for three minutes to sear the chops or use a cast iron pan with oil in it.
