Best Way TO Get A Deep Smoke Ring

[Chez Bubba]

IMO, the smoke ring is so 70's & very over-rated. At one time it may have been a way to judge a properly smoked piece of meat, but this is 2005, taste is where it's at.

We now have thermometers to measure the cabinet temp, as well as digital probes to measure the internal. That's when it's truly done right. Smoke ring means nothing anymore, let it go.

Ya think next time I check into a hotel & they ask "Smoking or Non?" they would mind?

i got one killer smoke ring on my very first smoke...

it was a brisket flat the size of a bradley tray...

i used 12hrs of hickory during the 16hr smoke...

i now use no more than 3 to 4 hours of smoke regardless of how long the smoke...

still get a tiny smoke ring but nothing like the 1/2 smoke ring on that first smoke... not even the dogs would eat that 1st brisket...

more later...
