Plan for about 40 minutes per pound at 250F, roughly 1 hours for a typical 1 lb cut. Pull it at 145F internal. Buy thick-cut (1.5in+). Pull at 145F and rest — thin chops dry out fast.

Cook to temp, not time
Every smoke is different. A good wireless thermometer is the single best upgrade for consistent BBQ: set the target temp and cook until it hits.
