Ingredients:

  • Bone in pork chops 
  • Brine

Brine

  • 4 cups water
  • 3 tablespoons Kosher Salt
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon pink curing salt
  • 12 garlic cloves crushed
  • 1 half sliced white onion
  • Spices as desired:
    • 1 tablespoon juniper berries
    • 1 tablespoon coriander seeds
    • Small handful of Sage leaves, Marjoram or Thyme or 8 bay leaves crushed

Process:

  1. Mix ingredients for brine and bring to boil to ensure salts and sugars dissolved; then cool before adding meat
  2. Marinate in brine for 2-3 days; turn daily
  3. Remove meat from brine, rinse off brine; let meat sit (in fridge) for 24 hours
  4. Smoke in Beachwood (Oak or Alder) for 12 hours @120 or 8 hours @225F
  5. Note: I have BBQ'ed the chops rather than smoke them.
