OT - Smoked Monster Chops

Hawg Fan · September 2015

i haven't posted any cooks for awhile due to a family illness even though I've been cooking on the Egg regularly. I built this small smoker about 2 months ago and decided to break it in tonight with a couple of monster, bone in chops. Each chop was about 16 ozs and was smoked with a different rub and orange wood. Served with hatchback potatoes and jalapeños.

How did the cooler do. I remember you posting this. Meal looks excellent

Sweet looking mini UDS. Any details on the build?

Very nice

Food looks great! Is that a smokey joe or jumbo joe with a smoker mod? I'm going to guess that you used a stock pot, cut off the bottom, and painted it black.

If that's part weber and part UDS, do you call it an ugly kid joe?

I hate everything about you.

Just kidding- that was good.

The cooker worked very well in that it held steady at 250 degrees for the whole cook. I'm using a pizza stone form my Mini Egg and a 10" flower pot base as a defector/heat sync. The chops were at 145 degrees in about 1.5 hours. The cooker is light and easy to break down. You can fire up the grill and remove the pot to add charcoal or for easy cleanup. I'll mainly use this cooker for tailgating or camping.

@thatgrimguy and @SmokeyPitt - here's a link to the build. I used the Smokey Joe Gold grill because of the ash problem associated with the Silver model. There's also several videos posted on You Tube.

@Thatgrimguy I bought my tamale pot at Walmart for $20. There's a little bit of difference in their size, so take your Smokey Joe lid with you. I ended up grinding off about 1/16" off of the pot rim so that the lid fit.
