    Is there an easy way to figure...

    I'm going to brine it first, is that like curing it? Thanks for the advise, I'll definitely cook at a higher temp. If smoke it at 350 degrees what would be a good rule of thumb for mins/pound. I will also cook it to internal temp of 175 degrees, to insure it is fully cooked.  Steve

    Cold smoking thick cut bone in pork chops (HELP)

    I like the reverse sear idea. I will give that a try. The biggest reason I asked about cold smoking is because I am smoking a couple of whole chickens as well and I am not that experianced with smoking two different meats at the same time. Any advice on that topic? Stevnjohn

    Cold smoking thick cut bone in pork chops (HELP)

    I need some help and some details on how to cold smoke pork chops. How long? Do I need to worry about meat contamination (bacteria)? Should I put rub on them before cold smoking? Do I need to get/keep the smoker at a certain temp? I plan on brining them prior, is that necessary? Is there...
