Preheat your pellet smoker to 225°F using apple, maple, or pecan wood pellets.
While the smoker is preheating, prepare the pork rib chops by rubbing them with olive oil on both sides.
In a small bowl, mix together the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, kosher salt, and black pepper to make the dry rub.
Rub the dry rub generously onto both sides of the rib chops, making sure to coat them evenly.
Once the smoker has preheated, place the rib chops onto the smoker grates.
Close the lid of the smoker and let the rib chops smoke for about 60-90 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 145°F.
After 30 minutes, check the pork rib chops and rotate them if necessary to ensure even cooking.
When the pork rib chops reach the desired internal temperature, remove them from the smoker and let them rest for 5-10 minutes before serving.
Serve hot and enjoy your delicious smoked pork rib chops!
