Reply to "How can I improve Red Smoke ring on Brisket ???"

The smoke ring is caused by nitrates or nitrites, I can't remember which right now.  You have to burn more wood than what is used in the Cook shack smokers to get a smoke ring.   You can cheat the smoke ring by using cure #1 like  LonzinomakerCS said.  I would simply say that if you are happy with the way your brisket is turning out leave it alone.  Do some serious research on how to use Cure #1 before you decide to use it.
