Buckboard Chops

[thirdeye]

Okay Buckboard fans check out these beauties. 3/4 pound pork chops, cured with 2 tablespoons of Hi Mountain for 48 hours. Soaked for 6 hours and rested about 6 or 7 hours in the fridge. I smoked them on my BDS at 180* until the internal was 150* ish, which was about 90 minutes.

Happy Trails......

They look perfect. How did they taste?

They were great, the long soak time insured they were not salty, and I was careful to use chips about every 20 minutes, because I didn't want to risk getting them too smoky. I guess I could say they tasted similar to a grilled slice of ham.

I loved them. I usually slice a loin into chops for curing, but these were just real nice ones.​

Those look great, I have never thought of curing anything other than pork butt for BBB which I finally got down thanks to your "how to" instructions on your site. This is an eye opener, and I am going to look more into curing other meats. Thanks

I think i will try that with some pork steaks. Should work well.
Great looking chops!

That reminds me of a childhood meal my mother use to prepare- smoked pork chops which she purchased from the grocery store. I don't know why I didn't remember this before this post. Now I'm gonna have to breakout my BBB seasoning and try to make my own.

As a kid we had them in dishes with apples or with cabbage and some root veggies. ..... When I see smoked chops in the butcher case, they want like $7 a pound so there is a lot of value in making your own.
