Yoder Grilled Pork Chops

There’s nothing quite like the flavor of Yoder grilled pork chops, especially with a reverse sear in the Yoder Smokers Loaded Wichita offset wood smoker. If you’re not familiar with the reverse sear, it simply involves first cooking the steak at a low temperature before searing it over high heat to create a delicious crust. And it infuses your food with that distinct smoky taste that drives the backyard flavor home. So if you’ve not tried this method, this recipe is a great place to start!
