Pork Roast and Chops???

[Ftby00]

I had some friends give me a couple of pork roasts and some chops and wanted me to smoke em for them.

My question is do you cook them just like you would a shoulder?

I know the roast will take longer than the chops. I am just curious cuz I have never done a roast before.

Thanks for any help. I will try to get pics as I go.

If you cook them like a shoulder (195-200) you will end up with dry meat assuming the roast is from the loin. Cook 'em to 155-160 internal and allow to rest. If you don't care about published health recommendations you can smoke to a lower temp and you might have juicier meat but you may also end up worshiping Oroc the Porcelain god. Your call.

Personally, I would grill the chops, but that's just me. You can smoke 'em just don't dry 'em out... The roasts, I take to 145°-150°, remove, wrap and let rest. Carry over cooking will take them to ~155° easily.

Thanks for the tips. The chops are like 1- 1 1/2" thick but they arent for me so it will be ok on the smoker.
I prefer my chops to be grilled or baked or fried.
We will see how they turn out though.
