Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons ground thyme
  • 2 tablespoons onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
  • 4 center cut, bone-in pork chops
  • Special equipment: applewood chips, soaked for 1 hour

Buttermilk BBQ Sauce:

  • 1 cup apple cider
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup Neely's BBQ sauce, or store-bought BBQ sauce
  • 1 tablespoon buttermilk

Directions

Mix salt, black pepper, brown sugar, thyme, onion powder and cayenne together in a small bowl. Rub pork chops with the spice mixture. Wrap and place in refrigerator for a few hours.

Set up your grill/smoker for indirect heat at 275 degrees F., using charcoal and add a handful of the soaked apple wood chips onto the coals.

Place pork chops on the grill. Close grill and maintain a temperature of 275 degrees F, adding more charcoal and chips, as necessary. Let smoke for 1 hour and 10 minutes, until the pork chops are firm to the touch. Transfer to serving plates and serve with the BBQ sauce.

Buttermilk BBQ Sauce:

In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, add the apple cider and brown sugar and stir to combine. Allow to reduce for 25 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, pour in the BBQ sauce and stir well. Once sauce has warmed, turn off the heat. Add buttermilk and stir to incorporate. Serve over pork chops

    I made Neely's bbq sauce a while back, and I didn't make it into the dipping sauce.. I did add a little chipotle powder to the sauce.. My smoker didn't quite get the chops done, so I slathered the sauce on em and gave em a quick burn in the broiler.. The rub is awesome! IF you use it like the recipe calls.. These were my first smoked chops and sure won't be my last! Thank you to the Neelys for your awesome recipe!

    I have an Electric smoker and I put the rub on the chops and let the flavors marry for a few hours, once I cooked them in the smoker and tasted them, they were very very salty. We had to wash off the rub before we ate them, but after that they were really good!! Next I just wont put as much salt as the recipe calls for.
