Smoked Stuffed Pork Chops - Revisited

Got the hankering for some more smoked pork chops so I mixed up some stuffing with extra spicey sausage. I smoked until I hit an internal temp of 145 and let rest wrapped in foil. For thos of you that didn't get the motivation the last time we discussed these, ya gotta do it.



  • Man, those look good! Going to have to put them on my "to smoke" list!
  • Since the ratio of sausage to stuffing is like 2:1, I don't think it much matters. I've used both Stove Top and bagged scratch dried bread. Last night was just what I had on hand and was a bag of Pepperidge Farms so had to chop my onions and celery. If you use a sausage that you really like, be prepared to get a spoon and start eating it before you get to the stuffing of the chops.
  • I butterflied and brined 4 thick cut chops for a couple hours. While the chops are brining, I brown a tube of spicy sausage. I then make a box of stuffing. Add just enough of the stuffing to the sausage to make it stick together. The remaining stuffing can be served with the meal. Rinse your brined chops and prepare to stuff. I try to get as much stuffing into the butterfly and then pin with a couple of toothpicks. Sprinkle with a little rub and it is ready to smoke.
  • SuperDave, man damn, that looks good! Can I get the instructions?
