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.
