Did some pork chops couple weeks ago. Brined 'em in water, salt, sugar and a splash of apple cider for 4 hours. Rinsed off and rubbed with Dry rub of salt, pepper, paprika, chili pwd, sugar, garlic, pinch of cayenne pepper. Apple cider and water in the catch pan, smoked with cherry biscuits for 90 minutes at 215. Mopped with apple cider/maple syrup blend and smoked about 2more hours.  Served 'em with some coarse-cut kraut, applesauce, fresh asparagus...  There wern't any leftovers, that's for sure!

That's great,Markc57 but today was time for just a light smoke as my wife was going to have one to try and she's not a heavy smoker.lol

Tell me, what do you do with the ice? Besides in a glas with gin and tonic?

Given that he cooked the pork chops the next day after smoking them I would guess he cold smoked the chops and used the ice in the tower to hold the heat down.

Yep,As the smoke comes up through the drip catcher it passes around the ice and the smoke is cooled down.And yes I keep some ice aside for me Rum.
