Reverse Sear Butt Chops

[MrHoss]

Always done chops direct start to finish but have read of guys doing them like this. Got it off my shoulder today. Prep'd the pork with some all purpose rub I make and let it sit in the fridge for a hour. My smokin' Kettle on the left and grill on the right:



Smoked 4 of my chops and a couple sausages for an hour and a half or so. Piled the charcoal in the crux of V formed by fire bricks....nice and high. Then put the wood chunks on top:



After a flip and brush with sauce on the grill:

Do you have an idea of how hot you were running during the smoke phase?

Do you have an idea of how hot you were running during the smoke phase?

It was around 210f for the whole hour and a half. Using coshell I find it pretty easy to cruise for a good long while with diddly fuss.

@austin87 - I liked the process. Next time I think I'll smoke them longer though. Didn't take a temp on the meat before grilling but from the amount of time it was over the coal I can tell I could have gotten away with more time at 210f. I love trying new techniques...makes the wife nervous but oh well.
