Traeger Smoked Pork Chops
These Traeger Pork Chops are truly incredible! Whether you’re planning a leisurely Saturday lunch or a festive Sunday family dinner, these chops are the perfect choice.

Gone are the days when pork chops were overcooked and dry. According to the USDA, pork can be safely eaten at 145°F. Some chefs even prefer pulling the chops off at 135°F, allowing them to rest and reach a temperature of 140°F. Don’t worry if there’s a slight pink hue in the middle, especially after a flavorful smoke.
