Preheat smoker to 225 degrees (F) using oak or apple wood.
Coat pork chops with olive oil and liberally apply the dry rub.
Place the pork chop on the smoker and cook until internal temperature is 130 degrees (F) and then remove (about 45 minutes).
When your temperature gets close to 130 degrees (F), preheat large cast iron skillet on stove top.
Place butter into the preheated skillet, then chop, then herbs.
Butter will melt quickly, be sure to quickly start basting the pork chops with the melted butter in the pan. Use a large spoon to do this. Flip after 2 minutes and repeat the basting for 2 more minutes.
Remove pork chops from pan and let rest for 10 minutes tented with aluminum foil to let the juices redistribute. The internal temperature of the pork should be about 135 - 140 degrees (F).
Cut and serve with your favorite sauce, we used the brown butter sauce from the pan. Just drizzle it right over the chops.
