Good morning Tom. First off, your brisket looks great...nice job! I like seeing a smoke ring too, but as far as flavor goes, a smoke ring doesn't affect it...it just looks good. But you just can't get smoke ring in those electric smokers, even with a smoke tube. That doesn't mean the food you make won't be tasty though.
As to your last comment...this site IS a place for newbs to get help...if you ask for it, you'll get it. Many of the veterans here (me included) won't presume to offer advice that hasn't been asked for. Now if you have a specific question, or just want some input on your methods, all you have to do is ask and I'm sure you'll get plenty of advice. Your OP didn't really seem to be asking for any specific input or questions.
Sometimes the amount of traffic your threads get depends on when you post them. At different times of the day, and on different days of the week, the forum traffic can slow down sometimes. If your thread works its way down the post count before very many members see it, sometimes it might not get as many replies as you'd hope. If that happens when you've asked for help, and you're not getting it, just try posting another comment in your thread to bump it back to the top...that way more eyes might see it. This thread, for example...I was busy most of Saturday, and wasn't online much...so I just saw this thread this morning. It happens...
Don't let it discourage you...this really is a friendly and helpful place.
Happy smoking!
