COLD SMOKED MAPLE-BALSAMIC GLAZED PORK CHOPS
Cold smoking is a little safer and less smoky for indoor grilling. You can make your own by using disposable aluminum pans or a heavy duty roasting and a baking rack...Or you can purchase an electric (such as Rival KC Electric Smoker) tabletop smoker for home use.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Remove the wood chips from the water and spread evenly in the bottom of a roasting pan. Cover the top tightly with aluminum foil. Put in the oven until the chips get hot and begin to smoke, about 15 minutes.
- Remove the pan from the oven and remove the foil from the pan. Put a baking rack inside the pan and arrange the chops on top of the rack, leaving a few inches of space between each one. Quickly cover with the foil again and let sit on your kitchen counter for 10 to 15 minutes.
- While the pork chops are smoking, put the vinegar in a small pan over high heat and cook until reduced to 1/4 cup, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the maple syrup, allspice, and salt and pepper, to taste. Let cool slightly.
- Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Brush the ridges with some of the canola oil. Brush the chops on both sides with some of the glaze and season with salt and pepper. Grill on both sides, brushing with more of the glaze, until golden brown and slightly charred and cooked to medium doneness, about 7 minutes per side. Remove from the grill, loosely tent and let rest for 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and serve.

Tips for Perfect Smoked Pork Chops with Maple Glaze:
- Choose high-quality pork chops: Look for chops that are at least 1 inch thick and have a good amount of marbling. This will help ensure that the chops stay moist and flavorful during the smoking process.
- Use a flavorful wood for smoking: Hickory, apple, or cherry wood are all good choices. These woods will impart a delicious smoky flavor to the pork chops.
- Season the pork chops well: Before smoking, season the chops with a generous amount of salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings. This will help enhance the flavor of the meat.
- Smoke the pork chops over indirect heat: This will help prevent the chops from drying out. Aim for a smoker temperature of around 225 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Cook the pork chops until they reach an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit: This will ensure that the chops are cooked through but still remain juicy.
- Make the maple glaze while the pork chops are smoking: This will give the glaze time to thicken and develop a rich flavor.
- Brush the pork chops with the maple glaze during the last 15 minutes of smoking: This will help caramelize the glaze and give the pork chops a delicious shiny finish.
Conclusion:
Smoked pork chops with maple glaze are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. By following the tips above, you can ensure that your pork chops turn out perfectly every time. Serve the pork chops with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad. Enjoy!
