For Saturday I didn't want to try to manage a long cook, and knew I had at least one Iowa chop in the freezer, so I went with an old standby favorite. If you've never smoked some Iowa chops, definitely try this one out. It easy and quick since you only smoke to 145 IT max. Unfortunately I only had the one Iowa chop so I had to pull out 2 standard chops to feed the fam.
I left the smoker on 'smoke' the whole time (about 180), which was a bit too long of a cook for the thin chops. They looked great but were a little bit dry. The Iowa chop was still juicy and fantastic.
Going from 130 to 144 IT took way too long on the low setting. Next time when I've got them on for ~2 hours I'll bump up the heat and just get them finished so they don't dry out.
