Smoked pork chops are pork chops that have been cooked in a smoker to enhance their flavor.

Fortunately, you can easily cook smoked pork chops on the stovetop, on a grill, or in the oven.

  • Add the pork chops and cook for 2 minutes on each side.
  • Turn down the heat and cook until the internal temp is 145° F (63° C).

  • Question How long do I smoke 1" thick chops on a gas grill? Community Answer Community Answer The most reliable method to ensure pork - or any protein - is grilled to a safe and adequate temperature is to use a meat thermometer. They are relatively inexpensive, and most have a chart showing proper temperatures for meats right on the thermometer. There are so many variables to consider - grill temperature, amount of fat in the meats, and thickness. A thermometer will give you results you can rely on - I couldn't grill or cook meats without one! Thanks! We're glad this was helpful. Thank you for your feedback.
