Paul was absolutely bowled over by the flavors and he’s not impressed easily when it comes to pork. I get a little intimidated cooking for him sometimes because he’s as good a cook on the grill or using a smoker to cook meats as it gets. He’s spent years smoking pork butts for family and friends, making his own rubs. When he did everything but lick the plate clean, I knew it was a keeper! ENJOY!

The recipe written as is makes enough rub for 2 pork chops. Double the recipe to make 4 chops and triple the recipe to make 6.
