Smoke Ring -- the real story

Former Member

I'm in the process of working on my first article for the CS Online newsletter.

I have three brisket flats in the fridge and I'm going to do a little "smokin okie" test to show the true cause of a smoke ring.

Here's my plan. If you have any questions, would love to hear them so I can include questions & answers in the article.

1. Smoke a straight flat, normal rub, in a CS (it won't show a smoke ring).

2. Smoke a flat with curing salt applies (the salt will "cure" the outside and create a smoke ring).

3. Smoke a flat with Lump Charcoal added into the fire box (has natural Nitrates which will create the smoke ring.)

There will be a lot of explaination, etc about the above. Just want to create some photos to show the results.

Also, I'm going to give pointers on how to smoke a flat since many seem to have difficulty.

Questions???
