Place your pork chops into the brine and allow it to soak it for 6-24 hours in the fridge.

3 The Cook
Place a temperature probe into the thickest part of your boneless pork chop, making sure to not to touch the bone, and set the pork chop on your pellet grill.
Smoke until the meat reaches an internal temperature of 100°F. This should take about 45 minutes.
Increase the heat on your pellet grill to 425°F and once it’s at temp, cook your pork chops until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F. This should only take a few minutes.
Remove your pork chops from the grill and allow them to rest for 10 minutes, then serve.
