I've been doing chops with Granulated Garlic, Crushed Red Peppers for about an hour on the smoker, then cover the topside with brown sugar, grill them for about 12-15min per side. When you flip them over cover the topside with brown sugar again. The brown sugar and fat caramelizes and the chops are moist and have a nice smoke flavor. I've been on a Pacific Alder kick and it gives off a great flavor.
