• To prepare barbecue sauce, pour cold coffee, chicken broth, ketchup and brown sugar into a skillet. Grate in onion and add mustard and Worcestershire sauce, chipotle, garlic, adobo sauce and salt.
• Place skillet over medium high heat and let mixture come to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer lightly for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and place the sauce in the refrigerator for 1 hour to allow flavours to infuse.
• Pour into a large resealable bag along with the pork chops. Let marinade for 20 minutes.
• Soak 2 cups of hickory wood chips in water for one hour.
• To build smoke pouch, add the soaked, drained wood chips on 1 sheet of aluminium foil. Place 1 cup of dry wood chips to wet and mix. Close the foil around the chips to make a sealed foil package. Use a fork to puncture holes in the top and bottom of the foil package to allow the smoke to flow through and infuse the meat.
• Preheat bbq to medium high heat on one side 375 F /190°C.
• Place one smoke pouch directly over the heat source. Leave the opposite side cool. Close lid and wait until the smoke has begun to fill the cavity of the barbecue.

PERFECT SMOKED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Start your work at least 8 hours before you want to eat.
• Brine the meat. In a bowl or pot large enough to hold chops and 1 gallon of water, combine brine ingredients. Start with 2 cups of hot water to dissolve salt and sugar. After salt & sugar are completely dissolved, add more cold water and some ice to bring volume to 1 gallon. Make sure the brine solution is cold and add chops -- they should be completely submerged. Cover and refrigerate for 6-8 hours.
• Smoke the chops. Smoking methods can vary. I use a barrel-smoker with an external firebox. Other methods will work, but be sure your temperature stays in the range of 175-200 F and never expose the chops to direct heat . When fire/smoke is ready, remove pork from brine and pat dry with paper towel. Place in smoker. Use hickory, mesquite or apple wood (or combinations), smoke for 1 hour. At this point, the chops can be cooked or reserved in refrigerator for several hours.
• Cook the chops. Just before cooking, apply about 1 tablespoon of the rub to both sides. Grill on direct heat. This will take about 30 minutes. Be prepared to move the chops to indirect heat for a while of they are getting too brown prior to being done. Cook to an internal temperature of 140°F Remove from grill and rest 5 minutes before serving. Meat will be pink and very juicy -- don't worry about the pink! As long as you achieve a temperature of 140 in the thickest part of the chop, it's safe to eat (the trichinosis bug dies at 137 F). If you prefer a more well-done chop, cook to 150 before removing from heat.
• But, in my opinion, at that temperature, you've just wasted a day's work.

SMOTHERED PORK CHOPS

Steps:

• Pat the chops dry with a paper towel, and season with salt and pepper.
• Combine the flour, onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper on a rimmed plate. Dredge the chops through the mixture on both sides.
• Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, and coat with the oil. When the oil is hot, slip in the chops and fry on each side, about 5 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove the chops to a plate and set aside.
• Toss the green onions into the pan, and sauté until fragrant, about a minute. Add 3 tablespoons of the seasoned flour (left over from dredging the pork chops) to the skillet, and stir with a wooden spoon until it makes a paste. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, making sure there are no lumps. Turn up the heat, and allow the chicken broth to reduce and thicken, occasionally stirring. Once the sauce coats the back of your wooden spoon, pour in the buttermilk, and add a dash of hot sauce. Stir to combine.
• Return the pork chops to the skillet, and simmer for 15 more minutes, until the chops are cooked through. Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
