Ingredients
For the Marinade
- ¾ Cup vegetable oil
- ⅓ cup soy sauce
- 1 tbs brown sugar
- ¼ cup rice vinegar
- 2 tbs A1
- 1 tbs lemon juice
- 1 tbs whole grain mustard
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 1 teaspoon thyme
- ¼ tsp cayenne
For the Smoker
- 4 pork chops bone in, 1 inch thick
Instructions
- Mix the ingredients for the marinade together with a whisk. Submerge the pork chops into the marinade and massage into the meat. Seal with plastic wrap into the bowl or pour into a zip top style plastic bag. Refrigerate for 2-24 hours.
- Prepare your smoker according to the style smoker you own. See the video listed above for how I prepare my smoker.
- While you are preparing the smoker, remove the pork chops from the marinade and allow them to rest at room temp.
- Once the smoker is well heated, place the marinated pork chops onto the smoker grates and smoke until the internal temp of the pork chops reach 165.
- Remove from the smoker and lightly tent aluminum foil over the top of the pork chops and allow to rest for at least 5 minutes before serving.

Notes
- Marinate for at least 2 hours and up to 24 hours.
- Always use a thicker pork chop, it is easier to manage the temps with a thicker chop.
- Never use the charcoal that has treatment to help it light. This will give your smoked food an off flavor.
- Add salt and pepper to taste at the table.
- Use a good quality thermometer like a Thermopen.
