Reply to "Smoke Ring -- the real story"

All, I'll work on a few more photos, these were just the first draft.

Sorry I2, guess you forgot to read the rest of the post. Let me guess, you're using charcoal/lump?

The whole point of the above is to show that the ring isn't caused by smoke (hence, CS owners love their brisket for the smoke taste, not the ring), if you had one, you could taste a brisket for the smoke flavor without the cure ring.

The ring is actually a "cure" that can be simulated by the Tenderquick. The ring you are getting is from Nitrates/Nitrites created by your heat source.

Just trying to explore one of those Myths about BBQ, "the smoke ring" you can get it, it's pleasing to the eye, but it's not smoke...it's only carried by it.
